Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer weighed in on the controversy surrounding Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes' possible political differences.
During an appearance on Bravo channel Tuesday, the governor was asked if he thinks people should care Swift, who has endorsed Vice President Kamala HarrisAnd Mahomes, who has been linked to former President Trump's endorsement, is a friend.
Whitmer responded, “We care about Taylor Swift and no, we shouldn't care about that.”
Unlike Whitmer, many people have shown much interest in the state of Swift and Mahomes' friendship.
Mahomes, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who is teammates with Swift's boyfriend Travis Kelce, has signaled support for Trump on social media over the past month and a half.
When she liked an Instagram post from Trump's account on August 13 outlining his 2024 policy platform, she received a sharp reaction on social media.
Some Taylor Swift fan pages on social media fanned the flames, drawing attention to Mahomes.
Mahomes then started a series of cryptic Instagram stories.
He wrote, “Honestly, to be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep-rooted issues that you refuse to heal from childhood.” “There's no reason why your brain is fully developed and you hate seeing others do well.”
She posted another cryptic message on social media that may have referenced the recent controversy that month.
“Unlike the climate of today's world… you can disagree with someone, and still love them. You can have different opinions, and still be kind,” she wrote on August 26. “Read that again!”
Then, she appeared to like several comments on her most recent Instagram post that indicated support for Trump. One of the comments he liked read, “Trump-Vance 2024.”
Swift, on the other hand, Supported Harris after the debate 10 September among the presidential candidates.
Following the endorsement, Trump made an appearance on “Fox & Friends” and said he liked “Mrs. Mahomes is much better than Swift.
Trump “I hate Taylor Swift!” Reached posting. Truth on Social.
Swift and Brittany Mahomes developed their highly publicized friendship during last year's NFL season when Kelce and Swift began dating.
Swift appeared at several Chiefs games to cheer on Kelce and often sat in the same suite with Mahomes, who was cheering on her husband.

This has not happened so far this year.
While Swift has attended two key games — Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens and Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals, both at Arrowhead Stadium — Swift has not been sitting in the same suite as Mahomes.
The two women embraced during a trip to the US Open final in New York City a few days after the Ravens game, as they sat in a suite with Kelce and Patrick Mahomes.
However, this was before Swift's endorsement of Harris and Trump's comments about the two women.
