However, amidst all the excitement, there were some fans who expressed concerns about Taylor Swift’s association with Jackson Mahomes days before his sexual battery case trial.
In May 2023, Jackson faced a legal ordeal when he was apprehended and formally accused of committing three instances of aggravated sexual battery and one case of misdemeanor battery.
These charges were the result of an incident that transpired on February 25.
Based on a statement from the police, Jackson Mahomes allegedly pushed a server, physically restrained the proprietor of a local eatery, and engaged in unwanted kissing at Aspens Restaurant and Lounge situated in the Kansas City vicinity.
Thus, in light of Taylor Swift hanging out with Jackson Mahomes at Arrowhead Stadium, here’s how NFL fans responded:
“Taylor should have known the wife was tight with the brother. She’s hanging out with a sex offender. Cool.”
Taylor should have known the wife was tight with the brother. She's hanging out with a sex offender. Cool. 😆
