Who set Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce up? Couple name 'cupid' coach on New Heights podcast

'He said it, that's what happened'
'Whatever Andy Reid says, we're gonna stand by,' Swift said on the podcast. 'He said it, that's what happened.'
Kelce added, ''Cupid,' 'Big Red,' it's all the same.'
Swift explained that after Kelce's widely discussed comments about her on New Heights in 2023 - a moment she described as 'the shooting your shot heard 'round the world' - several people reached out to her in support of him. One of them was Reid, who had a longstanding friendship with Swift's father, Scott Swift.
'There were a lot of kind of people whispering in my ear about you,' she told Kelce. '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.''

Big Red calls it a 'neat deal'
Reid, 66, spoke to The Athletic about Swift's surprise The Life of a Showgirl album announcement and used the moment to share his thoughts on the couple. 'My grandkids will be all over it,' he said, adding that 'both of them care about each other and what a plus that is.'
The Super Bowl-winning coach called their relationship 'a neat deal for both of them' and noted that, with age, he values seeing his players find someone they can settle down with. Reid has consistently voiced support for the pair, praising how they've handled the spotlight and acknowledging the positive impact Swift's presence has had on the sport's audience.
The romance first sparked in 2023 after Kelce publicly admitted he tried - and failed - to give Swift his phone number on a friendship bracelet during her Eras Tour. Reid's encouragement helped bridge the gap, leading to their first date. Nearly two years later, the couple remains going strong, with both agreeing the three-time Super Bowl-winning coach deserves a heartfelt, 'Thank you, Andy, for everything.'

Bournemouth confirms Kluivert and Christie to miss Premier League opener at Liverpool
BOURNEMOUTH, England (AP) — Justin Kluivert and Ryan Christie will miss Bournemouth's season opener at defending champion Liverpool, manager Andoni Iraola confirmed Thursday. HT Image Kluivert, the team's top scorer in the Premier League a season ago as the Cherries recorded their highest points total, has missed preseason games because of a calf injury. 'Justin hasn't been training with us, so he's out," Iraola said ahead of Friday's game at Anfield. The Netherlands forward netted 12 goals in league play and 13 overall last season. Christie, a 30-year-old Scotland midfielder, has been training with the team following a groin injury. 'But I think it's too early for him because he hasn't done any preseason,' Iraola said. Center back Bafodé Diakité joined Bournemouth this week from Lille, but Iraola said he hadn't decided if the Frenchman would face Liverpool. 'He is physically definitely ready, he has done a complete preseason with Lille. It's a matter now of getting all the concepts quickly,' he said. Bournemouth sold almost its entire first-choice backline — center backs Dean Huijsen and Illia Zabarnyi and left back Milos Kerkez, as well as goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga — to generate around $200 million. Kerkez moved to Liverpool. 'In the end, you are playing the champions in the first day of the season, away. It doesn't get more difficult for this,' Iraola said. The status of winger Dango Ouattara, who has been linked with a move to Brentford, was unclear. 'It's true that I don't know what's going to happen,' Iraola said. 'We are going day by day. I will ask the club if he can play tomorrow, and if he can travel." ___ AP soccer:

Odell Beckham Jr retirement row: Star WR has chosen his next spot; influenced by 4-time MVP
Only earlier this week, Odell Beckham Jr dismissed social media rumors that he was retiring from the NFL. The star wide receiver, who last played for the Miami Dolphins (2024), revealed that he still intends to keep going despite being a free agent. With weeks to go for the regular season, it seems like OBJ has chosen his next destination, and he is influenced by four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers. NFL football wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., dances after a second-round match between France's Gael Monfils and Britain's Jack Draper(AP) On Tuesday, a parody account on X, formerly known as Twitter, falsely claimed the three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver was ending his career after 10 seasons. Read More: Rashee Rice NFL disciplinary hearing: Date, impact on Kansas City Chiefs and more 'Not done yet... thanks for (your) concerns and have a blessed day,' OBJ responded. The 32-year-old played nine games in 2024 for the Dolphins, recording nine receptions for 55 yards and no touchdowns. Odell Beckham Jr to the Pittsburgh Steelers? On Wednesday, a report stated that several teams are interested in OBJ. The 32-year-old addressed the Steelers rumors on the Club Random Podcast with Bill Maher. He spoke about his connection with Aaron Rodgers. 'I love him; we've had conversations,' Beckham told Maher. 'I won't say that it's not a possibility and I won't say that I haven't had any communications.' There's one more influence for OBJ - Steelers coach Mike Tomlin. Read More: Taylor Swift throws shade at 'male sports fans' on Travis Kelce's New Heights podcast: 'I think we all know…' 'I f*****g love [Mike] Tomlin. I was actually supposed to be drafted to the Steelers. That was the meeting that I had that I was like, 'I think I'm going to the Steelers.' And the Giants ended up taking me at twelve," he added. Beckham, the 12th overall pick in the 2014 draft by the New York Giants, enjoyed five 1,000-yard receiving seasons early in his career, but has struggled with injuries and reduced production in recent years. He missed all of 2022 with a torn ACL sustained in the Los Angeles Rams' Super Bowl victory. Despite his decline, Beckham made clear he will decide when his playing days are over. "Plz stop reading everything on the internet, and stop texting me happy retirement... the day I'm done I will let u know," he later wrote on Tuesday. (With inputs from Reuters)
