Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is sharing his thoughts on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship.

While speaking on the debut episode of The Athletic’s Scoop City podcast released on Tuesday, July 16, Reid, 66, answered questions about the amount of attention tight end Kelce, 34, has been receiving. This attention has increased since he and Swift, also 34, went public with their relationship in October 2023.

“I think it’s great for him. He can handle it. As a matter of fact, I think he probably loves it to a point. I think there’s a great escape for him,” Reid said of Kelce’s fame while talking to hosts Dianna Russini and Chase Daniel.

“I said that about Taylor, too. I mean, she comes to the game, she can kind of escape having to be the show. When he goes to her concerts, she’s the star,” he went on.

The NFL coach joked that Swift could put Kelce to work when he goes to her Eras Tour shows. He told the podcast that Kelce could be her “waterboy.”

“He can be hanging out there and be the support or the waterboy, so he can do that,” Reid said.

He continued of the huge amount of attention the power couple receive, “It depends on the people involved. She gets all that. He’s kind of grown into it.”

“That podcast of theirs is ridiculous, so he’s gotten a lot of notoriety for that,” Reid added. He was referencing Travis and his brother Jason Kelce’s podcast, New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce.

“He’s an outgoing guy. I mean, he comes into a room, he’s going to light the room up. Everybody’s his best friend. Until you prove him wrong, everybody’s a friend,” Reid continued of Travis.

“He can handle it, it’s not something that [he’s] been given that he can’t handle,” he insisted.

The Chiefs selected Kelce in the third round of the NFL draft in 2013, the same year Reid joined the team as head coach.

Before that, he coached Jason’s former team the Philadelphia Eagles from 1999 to 2012.

During his Scoop City appearance, Reid was also asked about the Chiefs being the most popular team in the NFL right now. As Russini mentioned the squad might be “going a little Hollywood” and “are a little different than they were 10 years ago,” the coach responded, “I grew up in Hollywood, so I’m OK with it … as long as they’re ready to go.”

“Training camp is kind of that proving ground. If you’re not ready to go, it’s going to be obvious quickly,” he added.

The Chiefs team has welcomed Swift with open arms since she first started making appearances at Travis’ games in September 2023.

She most recently spent time with quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany, with the couple attending the musician’s Eras Tour concert in Amsterdam on July 6.

The Mahomes’ joined Travis in a private suite at the Johan Cruijff Arena, before Brittany later shared a photo of herself hugging Swift while out with their partners on a double date.

Swift also kissed Brittany on the head while posing with her arms around her for another cute shot.

“London & Amsterdam, we had a great time🤍,” she captioned a carousel of photos shared on Instagram on Monday, July 15.
