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, was asked about the amount of attention tight end Kelce, 34, has been receiving 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, telling the podcast he 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, referencing Travis and his brother Jason Kelce’s New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce podcast.
“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.
