Chiefs Coach Andy Reid Credits Taylor Swift for Travis Kelce's Strong Start
Andy Reid said Swift’s work ethic may be helping Travis Kelce, who has 12 catches for 172 yards and a touchdown to open the season.
On Monday, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid credited tight end Travis Kelce's strong season start to the influence of his wife, Taylor Swift, citing her grueling four-hour concert performances as inspiration.
Skeptics questioned whether the 36-year-old would remain in shape following his wedding, yet Kelce told ESPN he prioritized conditioning to achieve the best shape of his life during training camp.
Kelce posted nine receptions for 101 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 33-30 overtime victory against the Indianapolis Colts, his first 100-yard regular-season game since November 2024.
During the game, Swift celebrated her husband's touchdown by shouting, "That's my husband," while Kelce noted she now correctly identifies football penalties like encroachment.
The Chiefs aim to build momentum into a Week 3 matchup against the Miami Dolphins this coming Sunday, following their 2-0 start to the 2026 season.
Taylor Swift pointed to the wedding ring after Travis Kelce scored a touchdown. Now the head coach is thanking the pop singer for his strong start to the season. “She kicks his ass,” says Andy Reid.
