“It is what it is!” Chiefs HC Andy Reid breaks silence on the impact of Travis Kelce’s relationship with Taylor Swift over the last few weeks

The head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs isn’t one to discuss his players’ personal lives too often, but seeing the hype of his tight end’s love affair with Taylor Swift, he couldn’t hold himself. Andy Reid has recently endorsed the fairy tale romance of Travis Kelce with the pop sensation.

Last Monday, Chiefs head coach Reid had a conversation with Kansas City-based reporter Tod Palmer. He was asked about the increase in requests for autographs and tickets for the Chiefs games, due to Taylormania.

Reid responded by saying:

Nobody's really mentioned much on that.

He also expressed his comforting feeling for the star tight-end Kelce for finding someone he likes. He said: 

It is what it is… I'm just glad he's found somebody he likes and she's found somebody she likes. That's a good thing.

The two of them haven’t made any official statements confirming their relationship, but they’re quite in the public’s eye. Like how the clip of Swift running straight in the arms of the tight end to kiss him after her Saturday show in Buenos Aires, went viral on the internet.

Moreover, the pop star gave a wholesome surprise to her “boyfriend” by changing the lyrics of her song “Karma” to reference “Karma’s the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me.”

When the hype began with this NFL season in September, Reid jokingly said he was the one who set up Kelce with the “Cruel Summer” singer. As he has already met Swift before, that was a window for Kelce.

In a press conference in September, Reid revealed that he has known the popular singer from his days coaching the Philadelphia Eagles. Swift comes from a longtime football lover’s family. The Eagles were their favourite NFL team.

The head coach said:

You know what, I've met her before. I knew her from Philadelphia. Her dad was a big NFL fan.

He met the pop star when she was very young, with her dad, way before everything began.
