While attending football games to support their respective partners, Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes, is what brought them together, Swift and Mahomes come from different worlds. Many aspects of their personalities and friendship make it easy to see how friction could occur now or down the line. We talked to Jaime Bronstein, licensed relationship therapist and author of “MAN*ifesting,” who certainly knows a thing or two about friendship dynamics. She believes that Swift’s star power could certainly present issues within this friendship. We also spoke with Susan Trombetti, matchmaker and CEO of Exclusive Matchmaking, who used her relationship expertise to explain

why this friendship may actually be positive for both parties. Both of these experts have quite a few thoughts on these A-list BFFs.

Is Brittany jealous of Taylor’s star
power?

Some fans worry that Brittany Mahomes’ potential jealousy of Taylor Swift’s superstardom could cause problems. Jaime Bronstein explained that this could, in fact, be a recipe for disaster for the pair. “It could strain their friendship if Taylor feels used or the dynamic shifts from personal to transactional,” she explained. According to Bronstein, “Trust and authenticity are core aspects of any friendship, and using a friendship to boost one’s status could undermine these aspects.” Yet, a bit of honesty on Mahomes’ part could change this. “If she’s honest with Taylor about how she might want to capitalize on their connection in a respectful and mutually beneficial way, it might not necessarily harm their friendship,” she says.

Using her friendship with Swift for clout-chasing purposes isn’t the only way some fans think Mahomes’ possible jealousy manifests. Some think she tries to look and act like her super famous friend. Bronstein explained, “When one friend seems to be emulating another too closely, it can definitely introduce tension into the relationship.” According to her, feeling like one’s individuality is being stolen can make folks “feel uncomfortable or even threatened” or have “a sense of responsibility or burden, knowing their friend relies heavily on them for social cues…” She explained that a balanced friendship is more of a 50/50 effort in which neither person loses themselves in the relationship. “Friendships thrive on a balance of give and take,” she explained, adding, “For a healthy friendship, both individuals should feel valued for who they are…everyone should maintain their sense of self.‌”

In 2023, Brittany Mahomes was often photographed alongside Taylor Swift and Swift’s close group of famous friends. It was clear that their friendship was blossoming in front of the world. Yet, in December 2023, celebrity gossip source Deuxmoi posted a tip accusing Mahomes of notifying the paparazzi about her and Swift’s whereabouts to gain more publicity, per Marca. While this was never confirmed, it planted the idea in fans’ heads that Mahomes may have been willing to throw her friend under the bus for more press. “Navigating friendships in the public eye, especially with high-profile figures like Taylor Swift, can present unique challenges,” Jaime Bronstein explained. As for these friends, she pointed out that Mahomes’ keenness to court papparazzi attention may not go over well with Swift and could ultimately derail their friendship.

According to Bronstein, a few issues could arise here. For starters, she says, “If Brittany tries too hard to mimic Taylor, it could disrupt the balance within the [friend] group, leading to tensions or even resentment among other members.” With a friend group as tight-knit as Swift’s, this could present a particularly detrimental problem. Furthermore, Bronstein said, “For Brittany, maintaining a certain image or lifestyle to fit into the group could be stressful. This image or lifestyle might not align with her genuine self, which can be emotionally exhausting in the long term.”
