Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have become the internet’s most adored couple, with a love story straight out of your favourite sports star x pop star novel. The duo has been living the dream. From Travis’ support for TayTay to the Mastermind cheering for the Chiefs’ Tight end, they are everything hopeless romantics dream about. However, did you know that there was a genius who put the two exceptionally different personalities together?
The ‘cupid’ coach behind Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s romance
There is always a cupid behind every romance, and for Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s epic fairytale romance, it was none other than Kansas City Chiefs head coach, Andy Reid. Yes! You heard that right, it was Andy who helped bring the couple together. During the much-hyped podcast debut on New Heights alongside Travis and Jason Kelce, Taylor Swift and her beau discussed Andy’s role in their relationship.
The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived singer shared that they are going to stand by Andy, and whatever he said is how things happened. Travis also added that Cupid and Big Red were essentially the same thing. She was quoted as saying:
“Whatever Andy Reid says, we’re gonna stand by. He said it, that’s what happened.”
Taylor Swift further explained that after Travis Kelce widely discussed her on the New Heights podcast back in 2023, several people reached out to her in support of him. Taylor called it ‘the shooting your shot heard around the world’ moment in the history of their relationship. She added that among the sea of Tayvis supporters were Andy Reid, who had a longstanding friendship with I Am Gonna Get You Back singer’s father, Scott Swift. Taylor told Travis:
“There were a lot of kinds of people whispering in my ear about you. That’s not normal…There are people willing to just go to bat for you, and be like, ‘You don’t understand. This guy is incredible.'”
Andy Reid previously called Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship a ‘neat deal’
It was a while ago when, in a conversation with the Athletic, Andy Reid commented on Taylor’s surprise The Life of a Showgirl album announcement and used the moment to share his thoughts on the couple. He added that their relationship was a ‘neat deal for both of them’ and stated how, with age, he values seeing his players settle down, find their person and build their families. Andy has been among the consistent voices who have supported the star couple. He was quoted as saying:
“My grandkids will be all over it. Both of them care about each other, and what a plus that is.”
