It’s the offseason, but Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are still scoring hearts, especially from someone who knows him best: Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid.
The 67-year-old Super Bowl-winning coach, known for his deadpan charm and football genius, just added wedding speculation to his résumé. In a new interview that’s already making waves, Reid opened up about Kelce’s relationship with the pop megastar. And let’s just say, he sounds ready to give a toast.
“No distraction, just admiration” — Coach Reid gushes over the couple
In a candid chat with Kansas City sports radio’s 96.5 The Fan, Reid was asked what story he might share if Kelce and Swift ever walked down the aisle. His answer? Teasingly sentimental.
“Well, there are a few I can’t tell,” Reid joked. But he quickly followed up with something far more heartfelt.
“He’s done so many good things… all the things he’s done off the field that people don’t know about. He’s got a big heart.”
Reid, who revealed his favorite Swift album is fittingly Red, also had nothing but praise for how the couple handles life in the limelight.
“They just do it the right way,” he said. “They’re not a distraction by any means.”
In fact, Reid doubled down: “Absolutely not. There’s no distraction because of how they handle it.”
“Instagram official” and in the best shape of his life
The coach’s comments come just weeks after Kelce, 35, went Instagram official with Swift, sharing never-before-seen snaps that sent Swifties into a tailspin. One detail that had fans zooming in? Kelce’s phone background, a photo of him and Swift, had fans zooming in
Even Swift’s brother, Austin Swift, appeared in the photos, hinting at just how deep the families have blended.
But Kelce hasn’t just been basking in romance. After nearly retiring following February’s Super Bowl loss to the Eagles, the tight end regrouped and spent the summer training with a personal coach in Florida.
“He’s svelte right now,” Reid beamed. “He looks like he’s 20.”
Reid added that Kelce came in near the top of the team’s conditioning drills, proof that his offseason wasn’t just for beaches and ballads.
A love story the locker room respects
Despite the intense spotlight, Kelce and Swift seem to be winning over more than just fans. They’ve got the full support of the Chiefs’ inner circle, including the man in charge.
Reid’s admiration isn’t just for show. His words echoed a deeper sentiment: that love, when handled with grace, doesn’t detract from greatness, it adds to it.
And as whispers of a future wedding swirl louder, Reid might just be the first in line with a speech… and maybe a few stories he can’t share, but just might.
