Brittany Mahomes and Donna Kelce Celebrate Taylor Swift’s New Album with Social Media Love: ‘Let’s Goooooo’
Swift dropped her new album “The Tortured Poets Department” on Friday
Brittany Mahomes and Donna Kelce are sharing their love for Taylor Swift on the release day for The Tortured Poets Department.
“Let’s goooooo,” Mahomes, 28, wrote on her Instagram Stories on Friday, sharing a post from Swift’s account about the new record.
Mahomes also liked several of Swift’s posts on social media about the album over the last 24 hours, including Swift’s “2am surprise” that The Tortured Poets Department is a double album.
“It’s a 2am surprise: The Tortured Poets Department is a secret DOUBLE album,” Swift wrote overnight. “I’d written so much tortured poetry in the past 2 years and wanted to share it all with you, so here’s the second installment of TTPD: The Anthology. 15 extra songs. And now the story isn’t mine anymore… it’s all yours.”
Kelce, the mom of Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, also gave the popstar some love on her 2 a.m. announcement with a like. Though Donna admitted to PEOPLE in October that she would “not” have considered herself a Swiftie before her younger son started dating Swift, she knows that “talent is talent” and has since become a fan.
In November, Donna confirmed to PEOPLE that she went to see Swift’s Eras Tour concert film in theaters, adding that she was “just totally enthralled.”
Swift dropped The Tortured Poets Department on Friday after months of build up, first starting when she announced the new album after winning her 13th Grammy Award in early February.
The album announcement came on stage after Swift won the Grammy for best pop vocal album for her album Midnights. It also came exactly one week before Travis helped lead his Kansas City Chiefs team to their third Super Bowl win in five years.
Swift has become close friends with Mahomes since beginning to show up in the crowd at Chiefs games last fall to support her NFL boyfriend.
Mahomes, the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, often appeared alongside Swift at Chiefs games and at events surrounding the team, including after the team won the Super Bowl in Las Vegas.
But in the aftermath of the Super Bowl — a highlight in Swift and Travis Kelce’s all-American “Love Story” — focus has shifted back to the pop superstar and her music. While promoting her new album in recent months, Swift has continued to tour the globe with “The Eras Tour” in countries like Japan, Australia, and Singapore. The tour continues next month in France.
Swift unveiled the official tracklist for her new album in early February. Side A includes “Fortnight,” “The Tortured Poets Department,” “My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys,” and “Down Bad,” while the songs on Side B include “So Long, London,” “But Daddy I Love Him” and “Fresh Out the Slammer.”
On Thursday, Swift shared “Fortnight,” the first single from the record, which includes a feature by Post Malone.
“The Tortured Poets Department. 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,” Swift explained in another post Friday. “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.”
