KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI: Andy Reid, the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, has reportedly approved of his star tight end Travis Kelce's relationship with the pop star Taylor Swift, according to Page Six.
He had previously hinted that the romance had improved Travis' performance on the field, telling reporters, "Kelce is getting better with time. Taylor can stay around all she wants.”
During an interview with reporter Tod Palmer, Reid, 65, said, "I’m just glad he’s found somebody he likes and she’s found somebody she likes. That’s a good thing."
He added that he has not yet received any requests from friends and fellow NFL coaches for concert tickets or autographs from the 'Anti-Hero' singer, saying, "Nobody’s really mentioned much on that."

The former Philadelphia Eagles coach claimed to know the singer's father, Scott Swift, during an interview in October. Andy Reid said, "I knew her from Philadelphia. Her dad was a big NFL fan. So I had met her when she was real young, and her dad."
