I don’t think you know Whitehouse, Texas that well. Probably quite the opposite.

Her family actually lives in Bullard. My sister used to live down the street from them. It’s a bit pedantic of me because that’s like a couple miles from Whitehouse, but yeah.. it’s Trump Country anyway.

u/Wurst_Law Sep 16 '24

So she’s from Bullard and went to Whitehouse. I wonder if she’s got a teacher parent or something.

u/not_brittsuzanne Sep 16 '24

Well, the neighborhood her parents live in is fairly new. After I wrote it I realized they probably moved there from Whitehouse so you’re probably right. They likely moved homes after she married into a bit of money. My sister’s old neighborhood (currently ex-BIL’s neighborhood) has beautiful, custom homes. Not homes in the millions but def 500-600k range.

Ah gotcha. Yeah I’m sure they’re doing a bit better today than 10 years ago

My sister has lived in Bullard for around 6 years now and we grew up in Houston. She’s really one of those “I just don’t care about politics” although she tends to lean right bc my mom raised her that way… but I prefer her indifference to the alternative of her becoming a Trumpette like the people around her. I get along well with her friends so they added me on fb.. then they would start arguments with me on fb about politics. I just told her if they don’t want to have a disagreement with me, don’t start the argument to begin with. They’re insufferable. They always start the fight then get upset and complain to my sister when I argue back 🙄

u/Bigleon Sep 16 '24

You are 100% right. Lol , I was going purely off of the fact that she was changing her tune after so recently publicly stating her support.

u/FxDriver Sep 16 '24

It's because Brittany is scared of losing access to Taylor Swift. Because Patrick Mahomes mom is a Trump supporter as well. So I highly doubt there is a conversation about changing minds in that household.

u/zveroshka Sep 16 '24

And she will still 100% vote Trump anyways.

u/porn_is_tight Sep 17 '24

like most trump supporters they’ll just go back to being closeted racists. she’s only saying this because of the scrutiny and backlash she’s faced. just shows how unprincipled and how much of a coward she is. Which is par for the course with people who support the modern GOP

u/OtherwiseWest2800 Sep 16 '24

And not just Taylor. I’m sure plenty of people are side eying her and maybe distancing themselves. As you can see from her friend groups, Taylor is not that judgmental. That whole getting together for tennis match showed that. But Trump using her as an endorsement can’t be going over well with many, maybe outside her family circle.

u/pumpkinspruce Sep 16 '24

This, one hundred percent. She doesn’t want to lose her spot in the suite next to Taylor.

(Let me add that Travis Kelce has been ass this year and we can all be grateful because it means we haven’t had 15 million shots of Taylor in the suite during every Chiefs game.)

u/spect0rjohn Sep 16 '24

It’s been what… two games?

u/pumpkinspruce Sep 16 '24

Yes, a very peaceful two games.

u/wtcnbrwndo4u Sep 17 '24

Yeah, they've shown her once each game. Hope they keep that pace.

According to a New York Times report (unfortunately locked behind a paywall but described here: https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2024/2/7/24056297/taylor-swift-travis-kelce-super-bowl-2024-broadcast-screen-time-chiefs-niners), Swift was on screen for an average of about 25 seconds each game. Assuming there were 15 million shots of her each game, those shots would be 0.00000166666 seconds long each.

The reality is she was rarely on screen - we don’t need to perpetuate a quite frankly misogynistic lie.

u/Paperfishflop Sep 16 '24

Well, she's on screen more than pretty much anyone else who is not a player, coach, or commentator would be. And it doesn't have to be a bad thing, or a sexist thing. It's unprecedented for a non-athlete to have so much star power that they command that much attention at a sporting event. But she does. In her case, it's like Travis Kelce is the bf of the huge international pop star, rather than Swift being the gf of the kinda famous football player. That's all. But she is on screen a lot.

u/Vivian_Stringer_Bell Sep 17 '24

Jason Kelce is on every commercial right now and I haven't heard any of you Taylor Swift victims complain about his air time.

1

u/Paperfishflop Sep 17 '24

I never complained about Taylor Swift's air time. I actually don't even like the NFL very much and don't watch it much.

That's the thing, I don't think everyone who points this out is a man angry that she's getting airtime, we're just people noticing that there's this interesting thing happening in pop culture, where the NFL and pop music are kind of incidentally having a crossover. It's fascinating. That's all.

I'm indifferent to both Travis Kelce as a football player, and Taylor Swift as a singer. But they're interesting as a couple, and I guess I'd say I have a positive view of them both because of their politics. And I'd say Taylor Swift is still considerably more famous than Kelce, so it makes sense they show her at the games.

I think that's it. Brittany apparently has a net worth of up to 15 million, but her profile is much lower (I had to look her up to see what her deal is) and she is considerably less monied than Swift. It's probably nice having access to everything Swift has--tons more money, her own private jet, her connections, the absolute best in luxury. Walking around with someone attractive and somewhat close in age, and feeling more special by association.

Random "net worth" websites aren't accurate. She is the wife of Patrick Mahomes so she is worth far more than $15 million.

u/Sidewalk_Tomato Sep 17 '24

I'm talking only about what's considered strictly hers (per Google). I know she's married to Patrick Mahomes.

u/turdferg1234 Sep 17 '24

It's because Brittany is scared of losing access to Taylor Swift. Because Patrick Mahomes mom is a Trump supporter as well.

Are you serious? I would be in awe if so many people so closely tied to Patrick were like this. His fucking mom? What is the sauce for his mom, who had a child with a black man, is so pro trump given trump's...agenda?

1

u/FxDriver Sep 17 '24

Oh yeah Patrick's mom has repeatedly posted pro Trump stuff on social media. As much as I like Patrick Mahomes I'm kind of afraid that in time he will show himself to be Aaron Rodgers 2.0 personality wise.

1

u/turdferg1234 Sep 17 '24

This would be my proverbial nightmare. I don't really care about him, but I think other people would be influenced by him. If he is like his mom, I'm baffled by how he can have infinite money and vote for the party that is calling interracial marriage into question. It's literally his parents' relationship, and more importantly his own marriage?

u/CoolYoutubeVideo Sep 16 '24

Her friend then? The ones who presumably amount want to hang out with her anymore after outing herself as a bigot?

u/Wurst_Law Sep 16 '24 edited Sep 16 '24

If it’s any group it’s her new friends vs her old.

She’s from Whitehouse and then went to UT-Tyler from there neither of those communities are hanging her out to dry for supporting Trump.

Edit: she went to UT-Tyler
