Andy Reid knows how Travis Kelce should spend your time in Taylor Swift‘s Eras Tour. During a recent appearance on The Athletic‘s Spoon City podcastThe Kansas City Chiefs head coach spoke about his tight end’s relationship with Swift and his appearance at her concerts.
“I think it’s great for him. He can handle it. In fact, I think he probably loves it to some extent,” Reid, 66, said of how Kelce, 34, deals with fame. “I think it’s a great escape for him.”
“I said that about Taylor too. I mean, she comes to the game, she can escape having to be O show. When he goes to her shows, she’s the star,” he continued, before quipping, “He can be there and be the support or the water boy, so he can do that.”
While Reid said how fame is handled “is up to the people involved,” he thinks both Kelce and Swift, 34, are up to the task.
“She gets all of that. He kind of grew up on it. That podcast of theirs is ridiculous, so he got a lot of notoriety for that,” Reid said of Kelce’s New heights podcast with his brother, Jason Kelce. “He’s an outgoing guy. I mean, he walks into a room and he’ll light up the room. Everyone is his best friend. Until you prove him wrong, everyone is his friend.”
As for how he feels about Kelce and the Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes‘ Rising stardom, Reid said, “I grew up in Hollywood, so I’m fine with it, as long as they’re ready to go. Boot camp is kind of a proving ground. If you’re not ready to go, it’s going to become obvious pretty quickly.”
Since Kelce and Swift entered your romance last year they publicly supported each other, the former on the singer’s Eras tour and the last during the Chiefs’ Super Bowl-winning season.
More recently, Kelce attended Swift’s tour stop in Amsterdam, where she appeared to perform a surprise medley in her honor. During the surprise portion of the show, Swift performed “Mary’s Song (Oh My My My)” by Taylor Swift“So, High School” by The Department of Tortured Poetsand “Everything Changed” by Red.
“I’ll be 87, you’ll be 89,” Swift sang in “Mary’s Song (Oh My My My),” which many interpreted as her jersey number, 87, and her birth year, 1989. In the second song, Swift sang, “You can play ball, I know Aristotle.” The third song referenced a love that changes a person’s perspective on life.
Kelce — who was united by Patrick and Brittany Mahomes — was seen seemingly wiping away a tear during the tender moment.
