Taylor Swift has reached out to fellow Brittany Mahomes, wife of NFL star Patrick, after a disturbing incident ahead Kansas City Chiefs' match against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
Last weekend, the Chiefs lost 30-21 to the Buffalo Bills in a highly-anticipated clash of titans at the Bills stadium in Orchard Park, New York.
Ahead of the match, Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes appeared to be targeted by Bills fans with a threatening and disturbing message outside of the stadium.
And now, popular singer Swift, girlfriend of the Chiefs' Travis Kelce, has reached out to Mahomes' wife to offer a message of support over the incident.

As fans travelled to the Bills stadium, many noticed that a Kermit the Frog puppet, wearing a Mahomes' No 15 jersey and dressed with his hair style, was hanging from a noose.
According to The Daily Mail, a source revealed: "Taylor's friends said she and Travis found it incredibly disturbing.
"She has talked to Brittany who was really taken aback.
"To have this stunt with Kermit happen goes to show all of them that they really need to be vigilant when it comes to their security," the source added.
"They would all like to find out who did this, and footage should reveal it. Not to press charges, per say, but just to know that it was nothing more sinister than a joking Bills fan."
Mahomes or the Chiefs are yet to comment on the incident, but the 29-year-old has previously spoken out about fans comparing him with The Muppet's character due to his voice.
When asked by a reporter to do his best impression of Kermit before the Super Bowl in February, Mahomes jokingly replied: I'm talking right now, that's it."
The quarterback has previously spoken about how people had been making fun of him for his entire life due to the supposed similarities between his voice and Kermit's.
"I've gotten used to it, it's like the joke that keeps giving," he said.
"I've heard it all, jokes about Kermit the Frog or about smoking cigarettes. It's unique, so maybe I'll get a deal from having that unique voice."
