Awkwardness might be in the air for Taylor Swift and boyfriend Travis Kelce – following reports of a rift between the pop star and Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes.

Since dating Kelce, Swift has appeared to strike up a tight friendship with former women’s soccer player Brittany, who tied the knot to quarterback Patrick last year, but now there are rumours that Bad Blood is brewing.

It’s been claimed Brittany released information about her hangouts with Taylor, which left the singer far from impressed.

During an instalment of 98.5 The Sports Hub’s Zolak & Bertrand radio show, a caller named Jake dialled in and said he had the inside scoop that Swift would be attending the Chiefs’ game against the New England Patriots at the Gillette Stadium, in Massachusetts, on Sunday. “Let’s break some news. She’s coming Sunday. Done deal,” Jake claimed, before adding that he’d heard all was not well in the Swift/Mahomes camp: “One of the sources I have is saying she doesn’t want to be with Brittany Mahomes. I don’t know why.”

Celebrity gossip platform Deuxmoi shared the clip on their Instagram Story with the caption: “Local Boston sports talk radio also confirmed your Brittany Mahomes and t swift distancing.” They also included a screengrab of a message from one follower who in response to the question “What are you guys talking about this week?” – posed on December 12 – replied: “Rumour is Brittany Mahomes went to tabloids after hangouts with Tay – Tay is cooling it now.” At the time, Deuxmoi said: “We have not heard that.”

If true, it could make things rather tricky for close friends and colleagues Travis and Patrick. There didn’t seem to be a hint of drama, mind, when Swift enjoyed a pre-birthday celebration with her beau – who couldn’t make her actual party, to mark turning 34, due to footballing commitments – alongside Brittany, 28, and her hubby, where they partied until the early hours at a bar in Kansas City.

Brittany seemed to have scored a position in Swift’s ‘squad’ of friends, which includes Selena Gomez, Blake Lively and Gigi Hadid, after they were pictured grabbing dinner together in September. They’ve also been snapped hanging out at games and are even said to have a secret handshake.

Taylor Swift has always attached great meaning behind every song and album and has often used it as a means to give a glimpse into her life.

It was no different to when she announced her 11th studio album The Tortured Poets Department at the Grammys 2024 when speculations began about it being about her ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn.

After fans took a deep dive, it was found that her ex and actor Paul Mescal revealed in an interview with Variety that they shared a WhatsApp group chat with Andrew Scott that was interestingly called The Tortured Man Club.

Just four months after the December 2022 interview, Swift and Alwyn broke up.

To add more spice to the speculation, the singer was seen smiling with Mescal’s ex Phoebe Bridgers at the Grammys, causing fans to believe that she was dropping an Easter egg.’And now it gives me great joy to present a Grammy Award that two legends Diana Ross and Sting presented to me 27 years ago. These are the outstanding nominees for album of the year.’

Celine then announced Swift’s acclaimed album Midnights had won the award – making Grammy history as she won the award for the fourth time.

Celine looked incredible in a terracotta coat and glittering jewelry as she was helped onto stage.

The star’s fight to continue her career will be chronicled in new documentary, I Am: Celine Dion.

The hitmaker, announced in December 2022 that she had been diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome – an extremely rare disorder that makes the muscles in the torso and limbs alternate between spasming and being rigid. She revealed she would be stepping away from performing.
