In a recent interview, Kansas City Chiefs’ head coach Andy Reid revealed some candid thoughts about Travis Kelce’s high-profile relationship with pop superstar Taylor Swift. Speaking just days before the Chiefs’ training camp, Reid shared his unique connection to Swift and the light-hearted reaction it elicited from Kelce.

Reid, who has a longstanding football career, humorously mentioned that he knew Taylor Swift before Kelce did. Reid recounted how he met Swift through her father, Scott Swift, who played football at the University of Delaware and was an avid NFL fan. This revelation was a surprise to Kelce, who was amused but slightly dismayed to learn his coach had met his girlfriend before him. “So that was the last thing Trav wanted to hear,” Reid laughed, adding that Swift had joked with Kelce about it​ ​.

Despite the playful banter, Reid expressed his approval of the relationship, highlighting that it has not been a distraction for Kelce or the team. He praised both Kelce and Swift for handling their public relationship well and ensuring it didn’t interfere with the Chiefs’ goals. “She’s a good girl. And I’m happy for Trav,” Reid said, emphasizing that their relationship has been managed in a way that supports Kelce’s focus on his football career​.

As the Chiefs gear up for another intense season, starting with their training camp on July 24, this insight into the personal lives of one of their star players adds an interesting dimension to their team dynamics. Fans and observers alike will be keen to see how this off-field story unfolds alongside the Chiefs’ pursuit of another championship​​.
