Taylor Swift is now the rightful owner of all of her music, and Patrick and Brittany Mahomes are loving it.
The pop icon bought her catalog of recordings, originally released through Big Machine Records, from their most recent owner, the private equity firm Shamrock Capital, regaining control of her entire body of work.
Swift posted a letter to her website about the news and implored her 281 million Instagram followers to read it in a post captioned, "You belong with me," a reference to one of her hit songs. The post was a photo of Swift with each of her first six albums.
Brittany and Swift have formed a friendship in recent years since Swift began dating Patrick's teammate, Travis Kelce, in 2023.
Throughout that season, the Chiefs' WAGs were spotted in suites together at several Chiefs games, and it was not uncommon to see them hanging out outside of games with their significant others.
"I can’t thank you enough for helping to reunite me with this art that I have dedicated my life to, but have never owned until now," Swift addressed fans in the post. "The best things that have ever been mine … finally actually are."
Swift had been rerecording and rereleasing her albums under the moniker "Taylor's Version" in an attempt to regain control of her music.
She has also released new music, including last year’s "The Tortured Poets Department."
Randi Mahomes, the mother of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, paid a visit to the White House over the weekend and offered a two-word reaction from the trip.
Mahomes posted a photo of herself along with her daughter, Mia, entering the White House on her Instagram Stories. The post has since expired.
The matriarch of the Mahomes family was open about her support for President Donald Trump during the 2024 campaign. She endorsed the president on the eve of the election when she showed up to a Chiefs game wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat.
"I think for a president of our country, of the United States, I think it’s amazing," she said. "I think whoever the president is, to support the teams, to support America’s best sport.… I think it’s really neat for a president to be able to support it. You know what, let’s do it."
Last month, Trump had praise for Mahomes and her daughter-in-law, Brittany.
"I love those two women – they’re so great," he told OutKick’s Clay Travis. "And they’re so loyal. They’re so great. I met Patrick’s mother at the game, before the game started she came over.
"And Brittany, I’ve seen so much of Brittany, just being so loyal and beautiful. It’s really nice."
Trump met with Randi and Jackson Mahomes before Super Bowl LIX’s kickoff. Unfortunately for the Chiefs, they lost to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Trump said the Chiefs were invited to the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl LIV win, which was canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic.
President Donald Trump praised Patrick Mahomes’ mother and wife in an interview over the weekend as the two major figures in the Kansas City Chiefs star’s life supported the Republican’s re-election campaign last year.
Trump spoke to OutKick’s Clay Travis on Saturday and spoke glowingly about Randi Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes.
"I love those two women – they’re so great," he said. "And they’re so loyal. They’re so great. I met Patrick’s mother at the game, before the game started she came over.
"And Brittany, I’ve seen so much of Brittany, just being so loyal and beautiful. It’s really nice."
Randi Mahomes may have been the most outwardly vocal between herself and her daughter-in-law.
During the Chiefs’ Monday night game before Election Day, she showed her support for Trump by wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat in her box at Arrowhead Stadium.
Brittany Mahomes stoked social media controversy when she "liked" a post on Instagram that outlined the "2024 GOP platform." She then "liked" a separate comment that said "TRUMP-VANCE 2024."
She then made cryptic posts as her support for Trump divided some of her fans.
"I mean honestly, To be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood," she wrote. "There's no reason your brain is fully developed and you hate to see others doing well."
The other message read, "Contrary to the tone of the world today…. you can disagree with someone, and still love them. You can have differing views, and still be kind. Read that again!"
The grandfather of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has died just weeks after being put in hospice care, the NFL star’s mother confirmed Friday.
Randi Mahomes shared a post on Instagram announcing the passing of her father, Randy.
"Hard to find the words of holding my fathers hand as he goes to Heaven," the caption read.
Randi previously shared to her Instagram Stories last month that she was "lost for words" after her father had been placed on hospice care for an undisclosed reason.
At the NFL Honors last week, Randi told People that she believed her father was "hanging on" to hopefully see his grandson make NFL history by winning three straight Super Bowls.
"I know that it has meant a lot to him," she said. "And I think he's hanging on because he wants to see his grandson do an amazing thing or just let him play."
Members of the Mahomes family were vocal about their support for President Donald Trump.
Amid becoming the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl, he paid his fans a visit. The Mahomes family, sitting in a suite, was spotted taking a photo with the president while watching Patrick Mahomes on the field in his fifth Super Bowl contest.
Mahomes' mother, Randi, wore a red "Make America Great Again" hat with a Chiefs sweatshirt when K.C. hosted the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the eve of the election.
"I think for a president of our country, of the United States, I think it’s amazing," she told Fox News Digital in New Orleans this week. "I think whoever the president is, to support the teams, to support America’s best sport. … I think it’s really neat for a president to be able to support it. You know what, let’s do it."
In his Super Bowl interview with Bret Baier, Trump also praised Patrick's wife, Brittney, who first indicated her support for Trump on Aug. 13, when she liked Trump's Instagram post that outlined the "2024 GOP platform."
"She’s a Trump fan. She’s a MAGA fan, so I happened to love her, but she’s a great person," Trump said in the interview.
Trump was also spotted shaking hands with Chiefs star pass rusher Chris Jones on the field ahead of the game.
However, there was no Trump magic to rub off on Kansas City, as they suffered a 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Chiefs, one of the best offenses in the NFL this season, and a team that has obvious history in this game over the past two years, had just 34 total yards of offense in the first half as the Eagles defense was thriving against the offensive line.
Patrick Mahomes was never comfortable, and it showed as they punted their first three possessions. Mahomes threw two picks, one of which was taken to the house by rookie Cooper DeJean. The Eagles defense sacked Mahomes six times.
Fox News' Scott Thompson contributed to this report.
President Donald Trump made a Super Bowl LIX prediction in his interview ahead of the game on Fox News Channel with Bret Baier.
Trump said he was hesitant about making a pick because of the greatness that will be on the field during the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.
"I watched this great quarterback, who has, by the way, has a phenomenal wife," he said, referencing Patrick and Brittany Mahomes. "She’s a Trump fan. She’s a MAGA fan, so I happened to love her, but she’s a great person.
"I guess you have to say a quarterback who has won as much as he’s won, I have to go with Kansas City. At the same time, Philadelphia has a fantastic … it’s going to be a great game."
Trump told Baier he was a fan of both the Chiefs and Eagles.
"They’re sort of different," Trump said. "Philadelphia have one of the greatest running backs. Saquon had an uncle who was a great fighter. So, you have a great running back, you really have a great quarterback.
"The other team, the quarterback really knows how to win. He is a great, great quarterback."
Trump explained why he decided to attend the game and become the first sitting president to do so.
"I think just the spirit of the country, the country’s taken on a whole new life. I thought it would be a good thing for the country to have the president be at the game," he said.
"It’s an iconic day. It’s going to be a great game, two great teams, and let’s see what happens."
Pregame coverage of Super Bowl LIX is ongoing with kickoff slated for 6:30 p.m. ET. Coverage can be seen on FOX and streamed for free on Tubi.
President Donald Trump gave his congratulations to Patrick Mahomes and wife Brittany on the birth of their third child, daughter Golden Raye.
"Congratulations to the Chiefs GREAT Quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, and his very beautiful and BRILLIANT wife, Brittany, on the birth of their new baby daughter, Golden Raye. This is what I call a baby with great genes, both mother and father. It’s happy times in the wonderful Mahomes family. See you all on Sunday!" Trump wrote on Truth Social Thursday.
Mahomes and Brittany welcomed Golden Raye on Jan. 12, just before the start of the Chiefs' current playoff run.
Trump is set to attend Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, where he'll watch Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs try to become the first team in history to win three straight Super Bowls.
Trump has expressed fondness for Mahomes and his wife in recent months.
A screenshot of Brittany's Instagram account giving a like to Trump's 2024 policy platform on Aug. 13 was shared across social media. She then posted several follow-up posts defending herself from the backlash she received for liking Trump's post.
Trump then gave Brittany a shoutout on Truth Social days later.
"I want to thank beautiful Brittany Mahomes for so strongly defending me, and the fact that MAGA is the greatest and most powerful Political Movement in the History of our now Failing Country," Trump wrote. "With Crime and Illegal Immigration totally out of control, INFLATION Ravaging all Americans, and a World that is laughing at the stupidity of our hapless ‘leaders,’ it is nice to see someone who loves our Country, and wants to save it from DOOM. What a great couple – See you both at the Super Bowl!"
After Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala Harris on Sept. 10, Trump appeared on Fox News the next morning to say he liked Brittany much "much better" than Swift.
"I actually like Mrs. Mahomes much better if you want to know the truth. She’s a big Trump fan." Trump said on "Fox & Friends." "I like Brittany. I think Brittany’s great."
After the Chiefs defeated the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship game Jan. 26, Trump sent a congratulatory post to Kansas City on Truth Social. But Trump did not give congratulations to the Chiefs' opponent, the Philadelphia Eagles.
Earlier Wednesday, when Trump was asked who he expected to win the Super Bowl, the president didn't give a definitive answer but alluded to Mahomes' success.
"I don’t want to say, but there’s a certain quarterback that seems to be a pretty good winner," Trump said when asked which team he's rooting for.
Mahomes gave his thoughts on Trump attending the game to reporters Wednesday.
"It's always cool to be able to play in front of a sitting president," Mahomes said. "Someone that is at the top position in our country."
Mahomes recognized Trump was probably talking about him and gave his thoughts about the cryptic praise from the president.
"It's cool to hear that he's seen me play football and respects the game that I play," Mahomes told reporters Wednesday.

Other Chiefs figures have also acknowledged the historical impact Trump's presence will bring to the game.
Gracie Hunt, the daughter of Chiefs team owner Clark Hunt, spoke to Riley Gaines on OutKick’s "Gaines for Girls" podcast and reacted to Trump’s remarks.
"It’s pretty cool. It’s pretty awesome," she told Gaines. "Sometimes, I just look at whoever I’m talking to, and I’m like, ‘Yeah, that just wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card.’ But, wow, that’s just absolutely incredible."
"I think, you know, no matter who the president is, I know I’m excited because it’s the biggest game of my life, you know. And having the president there, you know, it’s the best country in the world. So, that’d be pretty cool," Kelce said.
The tight end said this despite dating Taylor Swift, a longtime Democrat who supported Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.
Mahomes declined to endorse a candidate in the recent election when reporters pressed him about it Sept. 11, but he did encourage people to vote in the best interest of their families.
"I don’t want my place and my platform to be used to endorse a candidate or do whatever, either way," Patrick said at the time. "I think my place is to inform people to get registered to vote. It’s to inform people to do their own research and then make the best decision for them and their family."
Brittany incited controversy and support in August when it was revealed she liked an Instagram post by Trump that laid out his 2024 policy agenda. She addressed the backlash multiple times and appeared to double down on her support for Trump with additional social media likes. Trump even thanked her for the support in a post on Truth Social.
