Jackson Mahomes wasn’t the only one facing backlash from the Swifties on October 22. Some fans even called out Taylor Swift because she herself was a victim of sexual assault.
In 2013, a radio station DJ, David Mueller, groped Swift as they posed for a photo, per Refinery 29. Over the next four years, Swift would go back and forth in court against Mueller after she infamously sued him for $1. Swift even testified in court against the DJ, sharing that the situation was “despicable and horrifying and shocking.” Eventually, in 2017, Mueller was found guilty of sexually assaulting the “Karma” singer. Because of Swift’s past, many fans were left in disbelief and disappointment that she would be seen with Mahomes, who has been accused of sexual assault.

According to Page Six, one X user wrote, “i love taylor and i’d defend her until the end of time but watching her interact with jackson mahomes today was truly disgusting as someone who’s been [sexually assaulted].” The criticism toward Swift continued, as many fans shared their disgust toward the musician being friendly toward Mahomes. Fans are hoping that this was the first and last time Swift will be seen with Jackson Mahomes given his dodgy past.
