When Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce began dating several months ago, they instantly became the most high-profile couple in the United States as they were flooded with attention from fans and the media. But it sounds like they were ready and prepared for the attention.
In a recent interview with Audacy’s 610 Sports Radio, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid praised both Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce for their ability to handle the attention brought about by their high-profile relationship and not allow it to affect their professional lives.
“I met her when she was young, I never worried that she wouldn’t handle it. She handles herself so well and has done so well in her career that I never worried about that,” Reid said according to Entertainment Tonight.
“I was just happy that they were both happy,” he continued. “Trav never let it be an issue, she never made it an issue. I think she really enjoyed herself watching the games and not having to have the spotlight on her. She was able to get in there, and Trav was the guy and she enjoyed that part, not having to be the star of the game. She could just hang out up there and enjoy Brittany [Mahomes] and the crew. I thought it was all positive, a very positive thing.”
It’s clear that it’s working for both of them as Swift just won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year while Kelce helped lead his team to a Super Bowl championship a week later.
