Meghan Trainor is catching backlash for Patrick Mahomes’ injury.

Meghan Trainor might want to go missing for a while after Patrick Mahomes’ injury.

The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback suffered a knee injury during Sunday’s 16-13 loss against the Chargers. Shortly after, the team announced that Mahomes suffered a torn ACL.

On social media, the Chiefs quarterback said he will be “back stronger than ever.”

With the loss, the Chiefs dropped to 6-8 on the season. They were officially ruled out of playoff contention. It was the first time in the Patrick Mahomes era. Now, social media is blaming singer Meghan Trainor.

The 31-year-old singer starred in her first commercial for State Farm alongside the Chiefs quarterback. Getting to work with Mahomes was “an absolute blessing and a miracle,” she said.

That blessing has now turned into a curse.

How Social Media Reacted To The Connection Between Meghan Trainor & Patrick Mahomes

Meghan Trainor admits she “didn’t know what to expect” prior to meeting Mahomes for their State Farm commercial. Now she is meeting the wrath of social media.

In that commercial, she could be seen holding up a leg brace. It seems to be a foreshadowing of the leg injury he would suffer months later.

“Uh … the State Farm commercial with Meghan Trainor dancing around with a knee brace in front of Patrick Mahomes? After the injury suffered by Mahomes on Sunday, yikes,” one fan said.

“State Farm foreshadowed #mahomesinjury. Get that man a Meghan Trainor,” a second fan added.

“Do we think that the NFL will continue to play the Meghan Trainor and Patrick Mahomes commercial anymore after today?” a third fan wrote.

“Hate that Patrick Mahomes is injured. If, however, this is what finally gets State Farm to pull the Meghan Trainor/trainer ad. Then at least something positive can still come out of this,” a fourth fan commented.

Gardner Minshew will now step into the starting role for the remainder of the season. The team’s seven-year run of consecutive playoff appearances has come to an end. They also had five Super Bowl berths and three titles in the Mahomes era. It remains to be seen if it’s over.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
