Andy Reid on If Taylor Swift Was a Distraction â âShe Made the O-Line Homemade Pop Tartsâ
While Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s relationship went viral in 2023, it wasn’t much of a distraction. She even made the offensive linemen homemade Pop Tarts.
The Kansas City Chiefs etched their names in the NFLâs history books in 2023, winning Super Bowl 58 and becoming the next team to win back-to-back Super Bowl titles. While the team itself was a major storyline, Taylor Swift stole the show.
Swift was viewed as a distraction on the outside looking in by some, but it didnât seem to impact the teamâs success negatively at all. How did head coach Andy Reid view her involvement?
Andy Reid Speaks on Taylor Swiftâs âDistractionâ
Kelceâs relationship with Swift goes back to July 2023 when he failed to shoot his shot at her concert in Kansas City, so he took it to his podcast âNew Heightsâ with him and his brother, Jason Kelce. Shortly after that, the two started talking, and the rest is history.
Things really got crazy, however, when she started appearing at Chiefs games during the season. Her first game was on Sept. 24 against the Chicago Bears. After that, she appeared in a plethora of other games, including the Chiefsâ playoff games and ultimately the Super Bowl.
âI really didnât worry about it; I knew her dad and her mom. Good, solid people. Iâd met her when she was young,â Reid said on Pro Football Talk when asked if he was worried sheâd be a distraction. âIt was never an issue. Travis handled it great; she handled it great. It was never, it was never an issue.â
âSheâs so grounded for who she is,â Reid said. âShe might be the most famous woman in the world. She handles it great. I think itâs a great escape for her, where she sincerely enjoys the games.â
However, her appearances werenât in just the booth. She had a little involvement with the team too. âBehind the scenes, to fit in ⌠she likes to cook, so she made the offensive linemen these homemade pop tarts,â Reid said.
âIt was over. She knew right where to go,â Reid added. âShe didnât give me one, and the offensive linemen definitely didnât either.â
Kelce and Reid both saw speculation late in the year that they could retire following the year, with Kelce being 34 and Reid being 65. However, both want to run it back in 2024 and make an attempt at winning three Super Bowls in a row. If they are to complete that lofty goal, they would be the first-ever team to do it in NFL history.
