Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs player is well-known for trying to get close to Taylor Swift during one of her summer concerts, which is how they ended up dating but the tight end might have just needed to approach his coach Andy Reid for an introduction.
Chiefs coach Andy Reid disclosed that he was acquainted with Swift prior to his player's meeting her on the SiriusXM podcast "Let's Go! with Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald, and Jim Gary", which was broadcast recently, according to CNN.
“I knew her before from Philadelphia. Her dad [Scott Swift] played at [University of] Delaware and was a big football fan and good guy,” said Reid. “I had met him there, and her.”
He added that the superstar singer and her fans have been “great.”
Reid made a joke about how Kelce wasn't exactly overjoyed to find out that Swift knew his coach.
“That was the last thing Trav wanted to hear, that I knew her before him,” Reid joked.
“She told him, ‘I know your coach,’” Reid said, as the hosts laughed. “And he went, ‘Oh, God, come on!’.”
He added about Swift, “She’s a good girl. And I’m happy for Trav.”
“And there has been no distraction that way at all. And Trav’s handled it right,” Reid said of the media spotlight on the couple. “She’s handled it right and we just move forward. So it hasn’t been a problem at all.”
Next month, the Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers will square off in Super Bowl LVIII.
