Taylor Swift, the 33-year-old pop sensation, continues to grow her influential circle of friends, and the latest addition to her squad is Brittany Mahomes. The renowned singer was captured heading to Emilio’s Ballato in New York City on a Saturday night, accompanied by long-time pals Blake Lively and Sophie Turner, as well as the newly welcomed Brittany Mahomes, who happens to be the spouse of Patrick Mahomes, the quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs.

The gathering took place on the eve of the Chiefs’ anticipated match against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Speculation is rife that Swift, now a reported Chiefs enthusiast, will once again attend the game to cheer on Travis Kelce. Kelce and Swift’s growing camaraderie has sparked rumors of a blossoming romance, and inviting Mahomes to the dinner might be indicative of the continuation of this newfound connection.

Swift exuded her signature style in a timeless black dress, accentuated with a bold belt and black heels. Lively, at 36, embraced a more autumnal theme with a long, multicolored skirt paired with brown boots. Turner, who joined the group later, opted for a leather mini-dress complemented by knee-high pointed boots. Mahomes chose a white bodysuit paired with a leather-sleeved jacket and carried a white Chanel bag.

Swift has become known for curating unexpecteԀ girl squads, and Turner, amidst her publicized divorce from ex-husband Joe Jonas (who also happens to be Swift’s ex), has recently joined the Swiftiverse. Reports from PEOPLE suggest that Turner is currently staying at Swift’s New York City residence, adding to the close-knit dynamics of Swift’s friendships.

The rumors surrounding Swift’s romantic involvement with Kelce first surfaced when she accepted an invitation to watch his team play against the Chicago Bears. Seated in a suite alongside Kelce’s mother, Swift witnessed the tight end score a touchdown, leading the Chiefs to a 41-10 victory. Post-game, Swift was spotted leaving Arrowhead Stadium with Kelce, heading to a restaurant rented out by the NFL player for the team. Images from the afterparty showcased significant public displays of affection between Swift and Kelce.

As Swift embarks on her “NFL girlfriend era,” it appears fitting that she would forge connections with Mahomes, whose husband has described Swift as “really cool” after spending time with her at a recent afterparty. The ever-expanding social circle of Taylor Swift continues to be a topic of fascination and speculation in the world of celebrity.
