much to the ire of Swift fans worldwide, his wife Brittany were all present in her VIP box at Flushing Meadows.
For those who are not aware with Swift's social circles, her choice to spend the day with Kelce's acquaintances was not so much a controversial one as it was a contentious one.
Originally from Texas, Brittany, 29, has been dating NFL quarterback Patrick since high school. Last month, she "liked" a public Instagram post by Donald Trump that contained 20 of his promises for the United States,
Among them were the directives to "carry out the largest deportation operation in American history" and "cut federal funding for any school that promotes radical gender ideologies or critical race theory."
Brittany, a former athlete turned entrepreneur, refused to apologize and instead liked messages from other Republicans applauding her for standing her own.
It's possible to love someone even when you disagree with them. You can be kind yet hold different opinions at the same time.
