Taylor Swift’s fans are expressing concern after the singer partied with Jackson Mahomes while supporting her beau, Travis Kelce, at the Kansas City Chiefs game.
Did she know he was trouble when he walked in?
Patrick Mahomes’ younger brother, who was charged with three felony counts of aggravated sexual battery in May and has a hearing scheduled for Tuesday, could be seen behind Swift in many clips from Sunday’s face-off against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Jackson, 23, was even included in Swift’s special handshake with Patrick’s wife, Brittany Mahomes, as the songwriter, 33, high-fived him.
Many “scared” social media users begged Swift’s team to “keep him away” from her at future matches, saying the footage made them “want to puke.”
“The fact [that] they let Jackson Mahomes in the same box as Taylor Swift needs [to be] investigated by the @FBI,” one Twitter user joked.
Another added, “Taylor Swift’s security better be on HIGH alert with Jackson Mahomes creeping around in the suite. I recommend all Swifties go and research.”
Others speculated the TikTok star “strategically positioned himself behind” the Grammy winner so “he’s in every pic/video of her.”
As for whether Swift was aware that Jackson had been accused of “forcibly kissing” a restaurant owner multiple times earlier this year, her fans had mixed feelings.
One user pointed out that Swift “doesn’t go on social media/ look at articles,” while another wrote, “Taylor Swift CHOOSING to be in the family suite knowing Jackson Mahomes would be there speaks volumes.”
A third claimed her PR team “really dropped the ball,” noting, “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].”
Page Six has reached out to Swift’s rep for comment.
In addition to her time in the stands, the pop star showed her support for Kelce, 34, at both a pregame event and an afterparty.
The couple even walked out of Arrowhead Stadium together hand in hand wearing coordinated red outfits. They exited the Kansas City, Mo., venue in a golf cart.
Although Swift has been seen at four of the tight end’s games in the last month, this is her first time sharing the box with Jackson.
Jackson was arrested in May, two months after he grabbed bar owner Aspen Vaughn by the throat and kissed her three times, which Vaughn, 40, told police she did not consent to.
Since security footage of the alleged February assault was released, Patrick has declined to address his sibling’s “personal” legal matter.
