Some people found the handshake to be embarrassing or cringeworthy, while others thought it was cute and a sign of their close friendship. Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes’ special handshake went viral during Sunday’s Kansas City Chiefs game, but social media users were divided on how they felt about it.

This is cringe af, while another said, This is more cringe for me. Still others accused Swift and Mahomes of practicing the handshake beforehand just to get attention.
Now this is a publicity stunt,
one Twitter user posted:
Who practices a handshake she literally just started going to games and chillin with the chiefs lol this wack.
Another Twitter user bluntly stated,
Worst thing ever to happen to the NFL.
However, many people also loved the handshake and the friendship between Swift and Mahomes.

Another Twitter user said,
She’s (Taylor’s) I can’t. I’m so happy Taylor is gaining new friends.
It will be interesting to see what the BFFs come up with next.
