Brittany Mahomes' Dress Has Taylor Swift Fans Asking One Question

With so much sports buzz around the Kansas City Chiefs and quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the footballer's wife, Brittany Mahomes, has been increasingly in the public eye. This has given the iconic WAG — that's the wife or girlfriend of a professional athlete for our non-sport-loving beauty babes — a growing platform to showcase her style. For one, her Instagram account is full of eye-catching ensembles, from her best game-day looks to vacation shots of summer-ready swimwear.

Of course, this burgeoning popularity probably owes a lot to Brittany's newfound friendship with superstar Taylor Swift. Since Swift began dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in September 2023, she and Mahomes have repeatedly been seen together at games and elsewhere, placing Brittany on the radar of legions of Swifties. In fact, Swift's fans have potentially spotted evidence that the two women are closer than ever.

On February 25, 2024, Mahomes shared photos of a friend's bachelorette party in Mexico on her Instagram story. In the shots, Mahomes is seen wearing a sparkly gray minidress that looks very familiar. In response to the post, Swifties want to know: Did Mahomes get the dress from the "Anti-Hero" singer?

To understand Swifties' suspicions, let's rewind for a moment. In December 2023, Time Magazine dropped a bombshell: For the first time ever, its coveted Person of the Year title was going to an entertainer — Taylor Swift. The article explaining this accolade dived deep into Swift's journey to mega-stardom, covering all of her achievements and heartbreaks along the way.

Naturally, this reveal was also accompanied by some incredible photos, including a shot of Swift in a gorgeously bedazzled gray dress. The structured piece, which featured a low but tasteful neckline and unique pleating at the bust, has been identified as fashion brand Area's Crystal Embellished Ponte Jersey Minidress. It's also, with very little doubt, the outfit rocked by Brittany Mahomes in her recent party photos.

This raises the question: Did Mahomes borrow the dress from Swift, or did she purchase one for herself? Area's chic, charcoal frock is available at Nordstrom with a steep price tag of $1,595, so it's not a one-of-a-kind piece. Still, some precedent could suggest that Swift loaned the minidress to Mahomes.

According to online sleuths, the alleged sharing of Taylor Swift's gray dress may not be the first time that Brittany Mahomes and Swift have taken a communal approach to their wardrobes. In December 2023, Swift was seen wearing a voluminous red coat at the football game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Green Bay Packers. The fleecy, oversized jacket, much like the now-debated Area dress, struck some eagle-eyed viewers as familiar.

After some digging, fans suggested that Swift's thick red coat was the same Stella McCartney piece worn by Mahomes to a November 2022 football game. Even the styling of the jacket is similar, with both women donning the red statement piece over black tops with accentuated necks. While there's no definitive proof that the jacket is the same one, the coats certainly look alike, and if it's truly the same one, this could provide a precedent for the two women swapping more clothes in the future.

Understandably, Fans have been agog at the thought that Taylor Swift may have loaned her Time Magazine minidress — a certifiable piece of entertainment history — to new pal Brittany Mahomes. However, this could be the next natural progression in what looks to be an increasingly close-knit friendship.

Of course, Swift and Mahomes have been photographed together at many Chiefs games. Both women are dedicated to showering their sporty S/Os with love and support — and, really, it's no wonder that these it-girls are making NFL boyfriends cool again. But Swift and Mahomes have been witnessed hanging out even outside the gridiron, suggesting a bond that goes deeper than the shared connection of football. From developing a special handshake to taking their star-studded girl group for a night on the town, Swift and Mahomes seem like more than friends of convenience.

Just look to the duo's November 2023 outing with Selena Gomez and Sophie Turner or their January 2024 dinner with Cara Delevingne at Nobu in New York City. It seems that Mahomes has been welcomed into Swift's friend group with open arms. So, is it so much of a stretch to think the two women may be pooling their wardrobe resources? While there's no confirmation of this fan theory yet, the prospect certainly stands.
