Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is just as enchanted by Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s romance as everybody else.

Swift and Kelce first sparked romance speculation in September 2023 when the pop star showed up at Arrowhead Stadium to cheer the Chiefs on as they faced off against the Chicago Bears. Swift’s attendance was in response to Kelce publicly extending an invitation after failing to give her his number at her Kansas City Eras Tour concert earlier that summer.


The two have since confirmed their relationship — with Swift making appearances at multiple Chiefs games — and everyone from the stars’ close friends and family to the NFL itself has gushed over their romance.

Reid, for his part, joked in a September 2023 press conference that he was the one who set Kelce up with Swift, sharing that he had “met” her previously. He later revealed that he knew the singer from his days as a coach for the Philadelphia Eagles — the Swift family’s longtime favorite football team. (Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce, happens to be a center for Eagles).

Reid revealed in October 2023 that he knew Swift from his days coaching the Philadelphia Eagles.

“I knew her from Philadelphia. Her dad was a big NFL fan,” Reid shared during an interview on Donovan McNabb’s “The Five Spot” podcast on OutKick. “So, I had met her when she was real young, and her dad.”

While Reid clarified that he was previously joking about “setting Kelce up” with the Grammy winner, he noted that she’s a “good girl” who is “into” the sport. “We’re glad she’s here,” he said.
