This meeting in the exclusive suite didn\u2019t sit well with Swifties.<\/p>\n<p>Fans are concerned about Jackson Mahomes\u2019 past, and it goes beyond his cringe-inducing TikToks. Since the social media star was seen in the same suite as Taylor Swift, many fans have voiced apprehension about his questionable history.<\/p>\n<p>In May 2023, Mahomes faced three counts of aggravated sexual assault after allegedly forcefully kissing a woman, Aspen Vaughn, and grabbing her by the throat, as reported by the New York Post. According to a police affidavit obtained by the Kansas City Star (via New York Post), Mahomes \u201cgrabbed [Aspen Vaughn] by the throat, forcing her head back and kissed her and put his tongue in her mouth.\u201d Vaughn did not consent to any of this and attempted to push Mahomes away. He was eventually released on a $100,000 bond, but the legal proceedings continue.<\/p>\n<p>Mahomes\u2019 preliminary hearing for the alleged assault is scheduled for October 24, just days after his public appearance with Swift. Some fans speculate that Mahomes might be leveraging Swift\u2019s positive reputation and media coverage to his advantage. Clearly, Swifties are troubled by the potential friendship, especially given Taylor Swift\u2019s own past experiences.<\/p>\n<p>On October 22, not only was Jackson Mahomes criticized by Swifties, but some fans also called out Taylor Swift herself, considering her own history as a victim of sexual assault.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, radio station DJ David Mueller groped Swift while they were taking a photo together, according to Refinery 29. Over the next four years, Swift engaged in a legal battle against Mueller, ultimately winning a symbolic $1 in damages. Swift testified in court, describing the incident as \u201cdespicable and horrifying and shocking.\u201d Finally, in 2017, Mueller was found guilty of sexually assaulting the \u201cKarma\u201d singer. Given Swift\u2019s past, many fans were taken aback and disappointed to see her associating with Mahomes, who is facing allegations of sexual assault.<\/p>\n<p>According to Page Six, a user on X (formerly known as Twitter) expressed, \u201ci love taylor and i\u2019d defend her until the end of time but watching her interact with jackson mahomes today was truly disgusting as someone who\u2019s been [sexually assaulted].\u201d The criticism toward Swift persisted, with many fans expressing their discomfort at the musician being friendly with Mahomes. Fans are hoping that this encounter will be the first and last time Swift is seen with Jackson Mahomes, given his controversial past.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swifties are expressing their discontent with Taylor Swift\u2019s recent association with Jackson Mahomes, feeling that she \u201cShould\u2019ve Said No\u201d to\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":7359,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[138],"class_list":["post-7358","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity-news","tag-taylor-swift"],"reading_time":"5 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7358","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7358"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7358\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7359"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7358"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7358"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
