Brittany Mahomes celebrates Taylor Swift’s new album as Chiefs friendship blossoms

That’s what friends are for.

Brittany Mahomes supported her close friend, Taylor Swift, after the release of the singer’s new album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” Friday, and shared a celebratory post on her Instagram Story.

“Let’s goooooo,” the 28-year-old Mahomes wrote, including a post by Swift about the surprise double album, which features 31 songs.

The wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes added three hand-clapping emojis.

Mahomes — a fitness entrepreneur and co-owner of the NWSL’s KC Current with her husband — and Swift formed a close relationship when the singer began dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce last summer.

Swift and Brittany were spotted hanging out on numerous occasions after the 14-time Grammy winner attended the Chiefs-Bears game at Arrowhead Stadium on Sept. 24, her first public appearance at a Chiefs game.

Since then, the pair has been seen sharing sweet embraces at Chiefs games — including the signature handshake they debuted when Kansas City beat the Chargers at home on Oct. 22.

The next month, Mahomes and Swift were photographed holding hands in New York City on a girls’ night out while the Chiefs were in Germany for the NFL’s international game against the Dolphins.

They also partied together in Las Vegas after the Chiefs won the Super Bowl in February after spending New Year’s together.

The Mahomes’ reportedly plan on joining Kelce when he visits Swift on the international leg of her Eras Tour this summer.

It’s unclear how Swift will celebrate the release of her new album.

Swifties have been anticipating the superstar singer’s latest album amid her blockbuster Eras tour — which is currently on hiatus and resumes on May 9 in France.

The 34-year-old songstress surprised fans with a second batch of songs at 2 a.m. on Friday and nearly broke the internet.

Swift’s latest work is a collection of songs based on a recent chapter that has since concluded.

Here's what to know about Taylor Swift's new album 'The Tortured Poets Department':

  • The 14-time Grammy winner released her highly anticipated 11th studio album “The Tortured Poets Department” on Friday.
  • Swift sent her fans into a frenzy at 2 a.m. after revealing the record is a double album. Titled “The Anthology,” Swift’s late-night surprise includes 15 bonus tracks, bringing the total song count to a whopping 31.
  • Swift initially unveiled her 16-song album at midnight, including collaborations with Post Malone and Florence Welch on two tracks. There are also four bonus tracks, “The Manuscript,” “The Bolter,” “The Albatross” and “The Black Dog” that are featured on various vinyl versions of the album. The four tracks, as well as 11 new songs, are included in “The Anthology.”
  • A poem about heartbreak that serves as a prologue for the album was written by Fleetwood Mac alum Stevie Nicks.
  • There are several celeb names peppered throughout the album’s lyrics. The mention of singer Charlie Puth’s name took some Swifties by surprise.
  • While some of Swift’s exes aren’t spared on “TTPD,” the singer, 34, does seemingly reference her current beau Travis Kelce on the new album’s track “The Alchemy” in a loving way.
  • As for her exes, 1975 frontman Matty Healy is reportedly referenced throughout the 31-song-strong record. In fact, Healy — who, before their summer split, was a rebound romance for the pop superstar following her breakup with British actor Joe Alwyn after six years — appears to be the subject of the vicious takedown “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.” Other fans, however, may speculate the “sparkling summer” line is about Alwyn. There are also hints that “I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)” — gotta love that title — might be about 35-year-old Healy.
  • As for Alwyn, Swift dropped hints about the pair’s ill-fated six-year romance for a good — or for him, not so good — part of the album. Check out the 10 Alwyn-related references we’ve spotted.

“An anthology of new works that reflect events, opinions and sentiments from a fleeting and fatalistic moment in time – one that was both sensational and sorrowful in equal measure,” she shared in a post on Instagram. “This period of the author’s life is now over, the chapter closed and boarded up. There is nothing to avenge, no scores to settle once wounds have healed.

“And upon further reflection, a good number of them turned out to be self-inflicted. This writer is of the firm belief that our tears become holy in the form of ink on a page. Once we have spoken our saddest story, we can be free of it. And then all that’s left behind is the tortured poetry.”

Although Swift never discloses the names of those she writes about, the album is said to feature references to her past romances with actor Joe Alwyn and Matty Healy, lead singer of The 1975.

Kelce previously said he heard some of Swift’s “TTPD” songs before the album’s release.
