Taylor Swift supported Travis Kelce at Chiefs games before relationship became public, coach says
a coach for the 2024 Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs.
The Kansas City Chiefs defensive backs coach made the comments on an episode of The Sports Shop with Reese and K-Mac which aired last week.
“When she started to come around, it was privately,” Merritt said. “She was coming into the stadiums without people really knowing until the camera put, you know, the big spotlight on her.”
Merritt said Swift was an addition to the larger Chiefs movement.
“Upon meeting her, I felt like she actually added to what we were trying to do,” he said.
