The handshake between Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes has sent a large portion of football fans into distress — and that’s not an exaggeration. The comment section under a Barstool Sports tweet is full of fans moping about Swift and Mahomes for harmlessly expressing their joy on Sunday. “Okay I’m sick of it already thanks,” tweeted one fan. A second fan said, Make it stop already…for the love of everything holy.” An especially bothered fan complained, “I wouldn’t be mad if the NFL season ended after today and not come back until that relationship is over.” Then there was the creative fan who responded by tweeting a GIF from “The Office,” when Steve Carell’s character said, “Kill me right now!”
Of course, negativity about Swift and Mahomes’ super excited reaction was plentiful enough to find it all over X, formerly known as Twitter. For example, one fan seemed convinced that Swift isn’t as fond of Mahomes as she seems. “Brittany Mahomes is so self conscious. Awkward. Guarantee, Taylor Swift is being attentive to her now, because of a certain exasperated eye roll in last video,” tweeted the fan. Then there’s the fan who’s not here for Mahomes and Swift’s friendship. “This is a BFF friendship I cannot endorse,” they said. A third fan tweeted, Chief fans got it bad.. yall gotta deal with Taylor Swift now, Brittany Mahomes, and the worst of them all… Jackson Mahomes… Jesus Christ man.”
