Are Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes still friends? Here’s why we haven’t seen them together lately

If you've noticed there haven't been any recent photos of Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes together, you're not imagining it. The pair, who've been close since Taylor started dating Travis Kelce, haven't had a public moment in a while, and naturally, fans have started to wonder if something's shifted between them.

But before any rift rumours take hold, it's worth looking at what's actually happening behind the scenes. Spoiler: it's far less dramatic than it looks, and a lot of it comes down to timing, privacy, and two extremely busy women juggling football, family, and one very large wedding.

Why has there been a gap in Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes sightings?

The biggest factor is simple: it's the NFL offseason. Brittany's public appearances with Taylor have always been heavily tied to the football calendar - game days, playoff runs, Super Bowl week.

With the Chiefs not yet back in season mode, and Patrick deep into his own offseason training routine, there's just naturally less overlap in their schedules and far fewer occasions that would put them in the same room, let alone the same camera frame.

Then there's the wedding itself. Reports suggest Taylor and Travis have gone to extreme lengths to keep the planning private, communicating with guests by text instead of physical invitations and trying to avoid leaks at every turn.

If Brittany has been involved in any pre-wedding plans or gatherings, it's entirely possible those moments are simply happening away from cameras, by design, rather than not happening at all.

So are Taylor and Brittany still close?

By most accounts, the friendship is still very much intact. Brittany has reportedly been named among the group helping put together something special for Taylor ahead of the big day, alongside other long-time friends like Selena Gomez and Gigi Hadid.

It's a detail that doesn't exactly scream distance. Add in the fact that Brittany has consistently shown public support for Taylor and Travis's relationship in the past, and the quiet stretch looks a lot more like privacy management than personal fallout.

The real test will be the wedding guest list itself. If Brittany shows up at Madison Square Garden on July 3, that should put any rift talk to rest for good, and if she doesn't, well, that's a very different story for another day.
