Taylor Swift explains how 'Cupid' Andy Reid vouched for Travis Kelce
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.

Eagles vs. Browns: Takeaways from 1st half as Philadelphia holds a 13-12 lead
The defending Super Bowl champions have returned to Lincoln Financial Field for the second week in a row against an AFC North opponent. This time, the retooled Cleveland Browns are the opponent after two days of joint practice sessions. Philadelphia sat the bulk of their starters, but had every player involved in the cornerback competition dressed, and vying for a key role. It was an exciting first half that saw rookie safety Andrew Makuba on the receiving end of two turnovers, while a second-year wide receiver continues to flash. We're looking at takeaways and observations from the first half as the Eagles hold a 13-9 lead over the Browns. Dillon Gabriel With Shedeur Sanders out, the third-round pick got his opportunity to perform in a meaningful game, and the former Oklahoma and Oregon star quarterback didn't disappoint. Gabriel had an ugly interception returned 75 yards for a touchdown, but was otherwise solid. Gabriel finished the first half 13-18 passing, for 143 yards passing (7.9 avg) 0 touchdowns, and one interception with a 72.2 rating and two sacks. Eagles QBs Dorian Thompson-Robinson got the start, but it was rookie Kyle McCord who tossed his first career touchdown pass. McCord is 2-2 passing for 15 yards and the score. Thompson-Robinson was 3-4 passing for eight yards and one sack. Ainias Smith Smith's roster spot isn't guaranteed, and the 2024 late-round pick has a score in back-to-back games. Eagles defense Azeez Ojulari has started to heat up and logged a first-half sack while being a disruptor. Overall, the Eagles' defense allowed 11 first downs, 194 yards, and 6-8 on third downs. Jeremiah Trotter Jr. had five first-half tackles. Eagles CB competition Kelee Ringo and Adoree' Jackson got the start, while Jakorian Bennett saw his first action as an Eagle before suffering an injury. Gabriel was efficient, and Jamari Thrash had four catches for 43 yards in the first half. Jihaad Campbell The rookie had three first-half tackles and his first career sack on Dillon Gabriel. Eagles offensive line Even with Myles Garrett out, Cleveland has a dominant defensive line, and the difference in talent was significant with the Eagles' stars all sitting out.

All the Easter Eggs Taylor Swift Dropped About Doing the Super Bowl Halftime Show
THE RUNDOWN Fans have been clamoring for Taylor Swift to perform at the Super Bowl for ages, but rumors 2026 might finally be the year started swirling after the Eras Tour star appeared on boyfriend Travis Kelce's New Heights podcast this week. Swifties know that the singer loves to hide 'Easter eggs' hinting at her next move in all sorts of places—in her music videos, on her website, during live performances, and now, perhaps, when talking to Travis and his brother, Jason Kelce. To begin with, Swift openly referred to the Super Bowl Halftime Show, saying she has watched every single one, which means the topic is on her mind. But the other hints were not quite so obvious. A big one is that Swift joked that she thinks about sourdough '60% of the time.' The San Francisco 49ers are hosting the 60th Super Bowl at Levi's Stadium in 2026, and who is their mascot? Sourdough Sam. Both the number and mention of bread types was a big flag to Swift's fans. Speaking of numbers, Swift mentioned the number 47 during the episode, specifically thanking Jason for his intro and screaming for '47 seconds.' Levi's Stadium was Swift's 47th stop on her Eras Tour, leading some listeners to think she would be returning soon. And Swift has talked about 13 being her favorite number in the past, four plus seven is 13, and 2026 will be Travis's 13th NFL season. It all adds up! Finally, Swift has said before that she would not perform a halftime show at the Super Bowl before she owned or rerecorded all of her masters. The star finally bought the original masters back this year after rerecording several of her iconic albums already. And her newest album, The Life of a Showgirl, is coming out in October, making a February Super Bowl show a perfect moment of public triumph.
