The popular artist put any rumors of a feud with Brittany to rest after they allegedly had a disagreement regarding their backing of Donald Trump.
Over the weekend, numerous fans expressed their frustration on social media regarding Taylor's ongoing friendship with Brittany, given Brittany's backing of Trump.
Some critics went so far as to label the worldwide pop sensation as 'spineless' for maintaining her friendship with Brittany. This criticism arose not only due to Brittany's backing of Trump but also her defense of her brother-in-law, Jackson, in light of sexual assault accusations and other serious issues.
A fan named @stacestacestace posted a picture of Taylor and Brittany embracing, both sporting big smiles. The fan expressed that the moment was "somewhat disappointing."
Another user, @stormiewrites, mentioned her 2020 documentary, Miss Americana, in which she discussed advocating for Pride month.
"Do you recall when she mentioned in her documentary that she finds it really weak to just say 'Happy Pride Month' while remaining silent when people are facing real threats? Now she’s close friends with someone who backs that person and hasn’t spoken out about any of these issues!" wrote @stormiewrites.
@schmimsi mentioned, "Five years ago, Taylor was upset in a documentary because she wanted to take a stand against Trump, and she did, identifying herself as Miss Americana. Now, it seems she's getting cozy with his supporters."
@tays_dreamgirl posted a picture from the Miss Americana documentary and wrote, "I miss her. What happened to her?"
She then quote-retweeted that tweet and commented, "I find it really intriguing that Taylor only chose to express her political views when she felt her career was starting to fade."
Locking fingers, sharing secrets, and embracing for pictures, the couple took steps to ensure their followers were aware of their reconciled differences.

At the end of last month, DailyMail.com reported that Taylor and Brittany have taken steps to preserve their friendship, as there is growing concern that Brittany's support for Trump might spark a major conflict with the singer.
Fans speculated that there could be significant consequences after Brittany stirred up some controversy by liking several posts that support Donald Trump, 78, as the election approaches. This seems to conflict with the opinions held by Swift.
Nevertheless, a source has shared with DailyMail.com that they "appreciate their differing opinions" and have agreed to a "deal" to steer clear of political conversations.
"They said that Taylor won't be included in this negative story about Brittany since they've agreed not to talk about political issues."
Both of them understand that differing opinions can harm friendships, and they appreciate that they see things differently.
According to the source, Brittany understood that discussing politics was a bad idea during a recent party Taylor hosted for Blake Lively at her Rhode Island home because she wanted to avoid any potential disagreements over differing opinions.
Everyone knew not to talk about politics when they were at Taylor's place in Rhode Island. It was understood that this subject was off the table.
It's not just Taylor who hasn't openly endorsed either candidate; Travis hasn't done so either. They understand the significant impact their voices carry.

@thighslor posted a medical illustration of the human spine and jokingly remarked, "Hey @taylorswift13, looks like you left this behind!"
@savvy13_ commented, "I felt a sense of relief when Taylor didn't hang out with Brittnay at the Chiefs game, thinking she might still have some standards. But then I saw her getting close to Brittnay just a few days later."
@dollylorrr commented, "Taylor Swift embracing Brittany Mahomes, who is recognized as a supporter of Trump and has been criticized for her views on sexual assault, racism, and transgender issues."
@ridemychairlor remarked, "It's amazing how much has changed over time. Taylor Swift is now maintaining her friendship with Brittany Mahomes, a supporter of Trump who has shown bigoted views and defended South Africa."
@swiftiescastle_ expressed, "Taylor, I adore you, but I can’t support you on this one, no matter what happens. I'm sorry."
@tireda**lesbian commented, "I had a feeling we’d see her embracing that gummy-smiled MAGA girl again! It was just a question of when. And you all were eager to praise Taylor for sitting in a separate suite from Brittany's during that one game."
The best friends got together for several games last season and enjoyed each other's company in Amsterdam earlier this year while the pop superstar was on tour.
However, The Sun reports that there is no hostility between them at all. A source mentioned, “They are really close friends and were thrilled to attend the game, but sometimes plans change.”
Brittany values her family, while Taylor enjoys experiencing the game in a fun, party-like atmosphere. For the season's opening game, they both sensed a unique energy in the air. They spent some time together, both before and after the game, as they waited for Patrick and Travis to arrive.

Brittany posted a selfie from the sidelines with her daughter, Sterling, just before the match. Meanwhile, Swift was seen in the stands during the game, enjoying the action with Kelce's friends and his parents, Ed and Donna.
After the game, Taylor and Travis flew to New York for the weekend and were spotted at a pizza place in Brooklyn on Friday evening.
