Update:

When the news broke of Travis Kelce’s relationship with pop star Taylor Swift, many were worried that the performances of the tight end were going to slip.

However, quite the opposite happened: the Kansas City Chiefs ended up being crowned Super Bowl champions at the end of the season, overcoming the San Francisco 49ers by a score of 22-25.

Now, coach Andy Reid has spoken out about the relationship that the ‘Cardigan’ singer has with not just him, but the rest of the team.

Swift ‘made the offensive linemen Pop Tarts’

Speaking with T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert, Reid said: “I’m going to tell you, she’s a good girl first of all. Her dad is a big football fan. When I was in Philadelphia, he was a big Eagles fan. They’re from Pennsylvania. He played at Delaware. And so she had a pretty good idea of what football is all about, probably not at this level, but a pretty good idea.

“But she handled it right. She came in, I mentioned this publicly, she came in and made the offensive linemen Pop Tarts. Literally made them Pop Tarts. She didn’t give me any, but she made them... She went right to the offensive lineman and she was automatically brought into the fold. You get the offensive line guys figured out, the defensive line guys figured out, you’re okay.”
