Andy Reid Shares Insights on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's Potential Wedding

Fans eagerly await details about a potential wedding between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, and Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid has offered a glimpse into what he might say if given the chance to toast the couple.

“There are a few [stories] I can’t tell,” Reid remarked during an August 7 appearance on the local podcast “Fescoe & Dusty.” He praised Kelce, noting, “He’s done so many good things. All the things he does off the field people don’t know about, helping people out. He’s got a big heart that way, and I appreciate that the most.”

Reid, 67, pointed out that he has known Swift, 35, longer than Kelce. Before taking the helm of the Chiefs, Reid coached the Philadelphia Eagles from 1999 to 2012, where he became acquainted with Swift before her rise to stardom.

“I knew her before he knew her,” Reid said, referring to Kelce. “My family has been a big fan of hers and we know her father and mother and that whole deal from the Philadelphia area. Her dad’s a huge football fan.”

Reid also revealed his admiration for Swift’s ability to navigate fame. “She became this famous person and arguably the most famous woman in the world since probably the queen passed away,” he stated. “But she sure handles it the right way, and that’s the part I appreciate the most.”

He continued, “The thing I appreciate most is how she handles it, how [Kelce] handles it. They just do it the right way and they’re not a distraction by any means. People always ask, ‘Are they a distraction?’ Absolutely not. There’s no distraction because of how they handle it.”

Reid’s football journey began in 1982 as a graduate assistant at Brigham Young University, and he has witnessed the evolution of the game at both college and professional levels.

He also acknowledged Swift’s influence in attracting more women and girls to football, commending the NFL for embracing this shift. “Women, girls, they’re looking at the game a little bit more,” he noted. “Look at flag football now. We’re talking about Olympic sports, we’re talking about college sports. Girls are having an opportunity to play the game and they’re loving it. Not that it was all tied into her, but she had a big part in that. The NFL has bought into that too and supporting that. I think it’s a beautiful thing all the way around.”
