Andy Reid knows how Travis Kelce should spend his time at Taylor Swift‘s Eras Tour. At a recent performance on The athlete‘S City of the Shovel PodcastThe head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs talked about his star tight end’s relationship with Swift and his appearances at her shows.

“I think it’s great for him. He can handle it. In fact, I think he probably loves it to some extent,” Reid, 66, said of the 34-year-old Kelce’s handling of fame. “I think it’s a great escape for him.”

“I said that about Taylor too. I mean, she comes to the game, she can The Show. When he goes to her shows, she’s the star,” he continued, before joking, “He can hang out there and be the opening act or the water carrier, so he can do that.”

While Reid said the way fame is handled “depends on the people involved,” he believes both Kelce and Swift, 34, are up to the task.

“She understands all of this. He’s kind of grown into it. Her podcast is ridiculous, that’s why he’s gotten a lot of fame for it,” Reid said of Kelce’s New heights Podcast with his brother, Jason Kelce. “He’s an outgoing guy. I mean, he walks into a room and lights it up. Everyone is his best friend. Until you prove him wrong, everyone is a friend.”

What he thinks about Kelce and the Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes‘ rising fame, Reid said: “I grew up in Hollywood, so as long as they’re ready, it’s fine with me. Training camp is kind of a proving ground. If you’re not ready, that becomes obvious quickly.”

Since Kelce and Swift entered into their romance In the last year they have publicly supported each other, the former on the singer’s Eras Tour and the latter during the Chiefs’ Super Bowl season.

Last, Kelce took part Swift’s tour stop in Amsterdam, where she performed a surprise medley in his honor. During the surprise performance of her show, Swift mixed “Mary’s Song (Oh My My My)” by Taylor Swift“So High School” by The “Tortured Poets” sectionand “Everything has changed” by Red.

“I’m turning 87, you’re turning 89,” Swift sang in “Mary’s Song (Oh My My My),” which many interpreted as his jersey number, 87, and her birth year, 1989. In the second song, Swift crooned, “You know how to play, I know Aristotle.” The third song referenced a love that changes a person’s perspective on life.

Kelce – the was connected of Patrick and Brittany Mahomes – was seen seemingly wiping a tear from his face during the tender moment.
