Brittany Mahomes Faces Backlash for Modeling in Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS Campaign

Brittany Mahomes, the wife of NFL star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, has recently received backlash after she revealed her participation in reality TV star Kim Kardashian’s latest SKIMS campaign. The campaign features the Mahomes family in promotional photos and videos, showcasing the 2023 holiday items.

Many fans are familiar with Brittany’s friendship with Taylor Swift, who is currently dating Mahomes’ Kansas City Chief teammate, Travis Kelce. Taylor has been seen at various Chiefs games, often joining Travis’ family and Brittany in a comfortable booth. Brittany and Taylor have even been spotted dining together in New York City with other celebrities, including actress Blake Lively.

Due to this association and some past feuding involving Kim and Taylor, some of Swift’s loyal fans took to Instagram comment sections to express their disapproval of Brittany’s involvement with SKIMS.

The SKIMS Instagram post features the Mahomes family wearing matching plaid red and black loungewear while having fun around giant red bears. Patrick and Brittany exclaim in unison, Everybody’s wearing SKIMS, at the end of one video clip. The caption for the post announces the opening of SKIMS’ holiday shop and mentions the release of 15 limited-edition collections for the whole family.

SKIMS shared additional posts showcasing different outfits from the holiday lineup. In one carousel post, Brittany and her mini-me are seen wearing matching Logo Plush Pointelle loungewear, posing with a large red bear.

Brittany also took to her official Instagram account to announce her involvement in the SKIMS holiday campaign. While many commenters found the Mahomes family’s photos adorable, some criticized Brittany for aligning herself with the Kardashian family instead of remaining loyal to Taylor.

One individual commented, Brittany made a bad mistake modeling for Kim Kardashian’s company. Taylor Swift cannot and will not be tainted by the Kardashian name. However, several fans defended Brittany, stating that they believed Taylor could care less and dismissing the Taylor-Kim feud as ancient history.

Comments on Brittany’s posts are limited, which suggests she may have chosen to prevent further criticism from dejected Swifties.

To provide some context, the Taylor-Kanye feud dates back to 2009 when Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift during her acceptance speech at the MTV VMAs. The feud escalated when Kanye married Kim in 2014, and two years later, released a song called Famous that included explicit lyrics about Taylor. Taylor claims she wasn’t aware of the specific line in the song, while Kim stated in a GQ interview that Taylor knew it would be included.

Over a year later, Taylor released the song Look What You Made Me Do, which was widely believed to be referencing Kanye. The music video for the song featured visuals targeting the hip-hop star.

Despite the historical tensions, Brittany Mahomes’ involvement in Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS campaign is unlikely to cause a rift in her friendship with Taylor Swift, as the feud is considered a thing of the past.

In conclusion, Brittany Mahomes is facing criticism from Taylor Swift’s fans for her participation in Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS campaign. However, others believe that the feud between Taylor and Kim is ancient history and won’t affect Brittany and Taylor’s friendship.
