Chiefs’ Andy Reid says his name came up when Travis Kelce first met Taylor Swift

The particulars of how Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce’s romance with superstar singer Taylor Swift began are well-known at this point.

Kelce tried unsuccessfully to get a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it to Swift last summer when she was playing two concerts at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
On his New Heights podcast, Kelce lamented his missed opportunity, a move that Swift later called “metal as hell.” The two began dating soon after Kelce’s public proclamation.
We know little about what happened between their first meeting and when Swift turned the NFL on its ear by showing up for the Chiefs-Bears game at Arrowhead Stadium in September.
But we know that Chiefs coach Andy Reid’s name came up when the couple first spoke.
“Funny story,” Reid said, “when Trav met her, she goes, ‘You know, I know your coach and his wife.’ And he goes. ‘What coach?’ She goes, ‘Coach Reid.’ And he kind of went, ‘Oh great.’
“So, her father, Scott, is a Eagles fan. I met him back when I was with the Eagles. He had played football, I believe, at Delaware. And so he understands the game and gets all of that and what goes into it. And so I had met Taylor back when I was in Philadelphia.”
Reid said his wife, Tammy, talks with Scott Swift on a regular basis and has done so for years.
“She’s everybody’s best friend and everybody’s mother, grandmother, you know however you look at it,” Reid said sweetley of Tammy.
Reid was asked what he thought about Swift’s fans becoming interested in the NFL. He thinks it’s great, and believes the Chiefs have been good for Swift.
There was a great photo of Reid and Swift pointing at one another during the on-field celebration in Baltimore after the Chiefs won the AFC Championship Game.
