Antonio Brown is drawing conclusions about Taylor Swift after the pop star embraced Brittany Mahomes at the U.S. Open Sunday (Sept. 9).

Sharing a photo of Swift smiling next to Travis Kelce at the prestigious tennis event while hugging the retired soccer player – who is married to Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes – the former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver gave the trio a pointed new nickname. “White People for Trump,” Brown wrote.


Billboard has reached out to Swift’s rep for comment.

Brittany Mahomes and Swift’s hangout at the U.S. Open comes shortly after the former drew criticism for reportedly liking posts and comments in support of former president Donald Trump in late August, after which the twice-impeached Republican candidate sang her praises in a post on Truth Social. “I want to thank beautiful Brittany Mahomes for so strongly defending me, and the fact that MAGA is the greatest and most powerful Political Movement in the History of our now Failing Country,” he wrote at the time.

As the “Karma” singer has been open in previous years about her opposition to Trump, some fans expected Swift to distance herself from Brittany following the controversy. The two women – who grew close over the course of the 2023-24 NFL season – seemingly didn’t interact at the Chiefs’ first game of the new season on Thursday (Sept. 5), leading to surprise when the pair seemed closer than ever at the tournament.

The situation is also underscored by the fact that Swift has not yet endorsed a candidate for the 2024 presidential election, in spite of backing President Joe Biden and VP Kamala Harris’ successful White House bid in 2020.

Someone who has backed a candidate, however, is Brown. “I think Donald Trump is a good businessman and comes from a good family and has been a good president,” said the athlete, who was named president of Ye’s Donda Sport in 2022, in a May interview with Outkick. “I’ll endorse Trump.”
