Well, it looks like Taylor Swift just stirred up the pot again—this time, not with her music, but with a political statement that’s already setting social media on fire. On Tuesday night, Swift confirmed that she plans to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming 2024 Presidential election.
And, as you'd expect, her fanbase went wild—not just for the endorsement, but because of its timing and the social media drama that followed, especially when Brittany Mahomes got dragged into the mix.
So, let’s break this down. Taylor has shown support for Democratic candidates before, having backed Joe Biden in the past. But this time, she’s moving her attention to Biden’s VP and possible successor, Kamala Harris. Swift’s Instagram post blew up, gathering over 3.2 million likes in just over an hour. In the post, she stated she’d be voting for Harris, praising her as someone who fights for causes Taylor cares deeply about. Classic Taylor—putting her platform to work for the things she believes in.

But here’s where things get spicy: Brittany Mahomes, who happens to be a good friend of Swift, recently caught heat for liking one of Donald Trump's Instagram posts. Of course, Trump is running against Harris, and this little social media action didn’t sit well with Swifties—especially since Taylor has openly criticized Trump in the past. So when Taylor made her public endorsement of Harris, the internet wasted no time in bringing Brittany into the conversation.
Cue the memes! Fans couldn't help but mock Brittany for being on the opposite side of Swift’s political beliefs. One shared a WWE-style meme of Taylor sneaking up on Brittany with a chair—a “screw job” of sorts, poking fun at the whole situation. Another took a more cinematic approach, sharing a “Mean Girls” meme of Regina George cutting up photos of her bestie, as if Brittany were having some sort of political meltdown.

And it didn’t stop there. A few fans even imagined Brittany’s reaction to Taylor’s endorsement in hilarious ways, with some memes showing her “locked out” of Taylor’s suite—an exaggerated metaphor for the supposed political divide between the two.
But despite the fan drama, sources say the two have made a pact to keep politics out of their friendship. They might sit on opposite sides of the political aisle, but apparently, that hasn’t disrupted their camaraderie. Both were seen enjoying last season's Chiefs games together, although their seating choices were different at the most recent one—Brittany with her daughter, and Taylor alongside Travis Kelce’s mom.
