Brittany Mahomes has Taylor Swift’s back.
Taking to her Instagram Story, Brittany, the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, reposted a comment made by TNT personality Charles Barkley, who defended Swift against critics saying she “ruined” football.
“Let. Them. Know.” Brittany wrote in her post, referring to Barkley telling Gayle King that those criticizing Swift, who is dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, are “losers” during Wednesday’s installment of his “King Charles” show on CNN.
“If you’re screaming at Taylor Swift saying she ruined [football,] you’re just a loser,” Barkley said.
That was the clean version.
“I’m gonna look right in that camera, if you’re screaming at Taylor Swift, saying she ruined football, you’re just a loser,” the former NBA star said. “You’re just a loser or a jackass.”

Barkley isn’t the only sports media personality that has gone on the record to defend Swift.
Fox Sports host Colin Cowherd pulled receipts and data when he went to bat for the “Cruel Summer” singer on his show, “The Herd,” earlier this week.
Swift has been at the center of criticism that she isn’t good for the NFL amid her whirlwind romance with Kelce — which has dominated sports and pop culture headlines.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell previously told “CBS Mornings” that Swift brings a whole new audience to the league, and praised her as an incredible talent.
