Blond Brittany? Redhead Brittany?

By now, Brittany Mahomes knows it’s really not debatable.

Fans are eating up the flaming hot look the co-owner of the Kansas City Current soccer team and wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes showed off on Instagram Wednesday.

Make way, Emma Stone, Nicole Kidman, Reba McEntire, Ed Sheeran, Prince Harry, Little Mermaid, Ginger Spice and every other famous redhead out there.

Brittany Mahomes as a redhead is a hit.

People want to know if the change is permanent or if she was wearing a wig or hair extensions for a photo shoot in the six images she shared. There’s no word yet.

People hope it’s here to stay. Within minutes of the photos going public, comments flooded in.

“Feeling spicy,” Mahomes wrote, punctuating the post with a flame, red pepper and smiley face emojis.

Are there any flame emojis left out there It seems like every one got used up her followers, Chiefs fans — heck, even fans of other NFL teams — who reacted with every synonym for the word “hot” and made references to one of her new BFFs, Taylor Swift, queen of “eras.”

“In her Red Era,” one fan declared of Mahomes.

The new look made headlines in entertainment magazines, sports outlets, fashion magazines and tabloids in the U.S. and overseas.

Hair magician Laura Beth Cabott — laurabethartistry on Instagram — a member of Mahomes’ glam squad, received her own batch of kudos for creating the look.

Glamour magazine called it a “shocking hair transformation.”

“And we don’t mean she got red highlights, went strawberry blonde, or chose a shade of auburn so discrete you can’t really tell it’s red without certain lighting,” the fashion bible wrote.

“No, Mahomes committed to the redhead lifestyle. This red-hot take on shade is the perfect blend of cowboy copper and hot taki red: bold, bright, and a total 180 from her usual look. And honestly, it looks amazing.”

Her own family gave her mixed reviews.

When one follower asked Brittany if she had video of how her daughter and son — 3-year-old Sterling and 16-month-old Bronze — reacted, she replied: “OK surprising Sterling loves it! Bronze not so much!”

Daughter Sterling liked the new look. But son Bronze? Not so much.

Patrick reposted one of the photos to his own Instagram Stories and gave his review with a single red heart emoji.
