Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid has, on occasion, taken credit for helping set up Travis Kelce in his relationship with Taylor Swift.
Does Reid’s story of being a legendary wingman carry much weight?
‘Whatever Andy Reid says, we’re gonna stand by,’ Swift said on the ‘New Heights’ podcast Wednesday. ‘He said it, that’s what happened.’
”Cupid,’ ‘Big Red.’ It’s all the same,’ Kelce added.
Reid’s role as a wingman came after Kelce’s plea to Swift on the ‘New Heights’ podcast, which Swift referred to as ‘the shooting your shot heard ’round the world.’
After that, Swift outlined she heard from ‘a lot of people’ who liked Kelce enough to vouch for him. That included Reid, who had a long-term friendship with Swift’s family, via her father Scott.
‘There were a lot of kind of people whispering in my ear about you,’ Swift said to Kelce on the podcast. ‘And like, actually, that’s not normal. There are people willing to just go to bat for you, and be like, ‘You don’t understand. This guy is incredible.”
Ultimately, Reid’s endorsement mattered, and Swift and Kelce eventually went on a date. They remain together nearly two years after they were first romantically linked.
As such, both believe the three-time Super Bowl winner deserves a thank you for helping them get together.
‘Thank you Andy, for everything,’ Swift said.
