Andy Reid Says He’s ‘Glad’ Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift Found Each Other: ‘That’s a Good Thing’

Andy Reid continues to support Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s relationship!

As the new couple’s romance grows stronger, the Kansas City Chiefs head coach talked about his tight end and the pop superstar during an interview with Kansas City reporter Todd Palmer.

Palmer asked Reid, 65, if the media frenzy surrounding Swift, 33, and Kelce, 34, meant a rush of requests for autographs and tickets from the “Karma” singer.

“No one really mentioned it much,” Reid replied.

The NFL coach, who won three Super Bowls, said: “I’m glad he found someone he likes and she found someone she likes. That’s a good thing.”

Reid has been vocal about his support for Kelce’s new relationship since it caught the attention of his NFL team.

After the Chiefs’ 31-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in October, Reid praised the tight end’s performance on the field, jokingly crediting the singer for being a positive influence.

“Kelce is getting better as time goes on,” Reid said during the press conference they shared social media. “Taylor can stay around as long as she wants.”

A week earlier, Reid, who coached the Philadelphia Eagles, Swift’s childhood team, talked about knowing her father.

“I knew her from Philly; her dad was a big NFL fan, so I met her when she was really young, and her dad,” Reid explained before sarcastically taking credit for orchestrating the romance between Swift and Kelce. “I was joking about setting up Kelce, and, you know, I’m just saying!” Reid said, laughing with the host of the show.

Reid added: “She’s a good girl, she loves it, we’re glad she’s here.”

Swift and Kelce set the internet on fire Saturday when the two shared a public kiss after the second night of her Eras Tour in Argentina.

After her performance at the River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires, Argentina on Saturday – which Kelce flew in during his bye week – Swift ran into the NFL star’s arms and the pair shared a kiss as they left backstage.

Earlier that night, during the concert, Swift changed the lyrics of her song “Karma” to refer to Kelce, singing, “Karma is a guy from the Chiefs coming straight to my house.”

The display of affection comes after they were seen enjoying dinner together in the Argentine capital on Friday night, after Kelce arrived in the South American country earlier in the day.

During their date night in a private room at Elena Restaurant at the Four Seasons Hotel Buenos Aires – after Swift’s Friday night performance was postponed until Sunday due to inclement weather – the couple were joined by Swift’s father, Scott Kingsley Swift, who then watched from the VIP tent with Kelce at the Saturday concert.

A source revealed to PEOPLE that the NFL star was “glowing” during the evening, and that he and the singer “looked so sweet at their low-key dinner.”

“They also left holding hands … and the restaurant crowd cheered briefly as they made their way out,” the insider added.
