Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding: Andy Reid says he has the perfect story to tell
Before Travis Kelce shot his shot with a friendship bracelet, Andy Reid was already bumping in his car. The Kansas City Chiefs' head coach just revealed he's been a Swiftie since before Kelce and Swift ever crossed paths, proudly owning her Red album since 2012. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now And while that confession alone could've been the headline, Reid casually tossed in an even juicier nugget, he's sitting on stories about the couple that are 'too good' to tell unless, of course, there's a wedding toast involved. Andy Reid says he owned Taylor Swift's Red album before Travis Kelce even met her Speaking to sports radio's 96.5 The Fan with Fescoe and Dusty, Reid admitted he was a Taylor Swift fan 'before it was cool' (okay, those may not have been his exact words, but the energy was there ). He proudly shared that he bought Red the year it dropped and has been a fan ever since, proving that not all NFL guys needed a 'Swiftie conversion' after Kelce's romance went public. 'You know what? I do have the Red album, so I do have that one,' Reid said. 'Now listen, I knew her before he knew her, so… my family has been a big fan of hers, and you know, we know her father and mother, and that whole deal.' And apparently, those early ties came from her dad's love of football. 'Her dad is a huge football fan, so we hit it off with him, then she became this famous person, arguably the most famous woman in the world since probably the Queen passed away,' Reid said. The Kelce–Swift wedding stories that Reid won't spill, yet When asked if he'd be ready with a story for a hypothetical Kelce–Swift wedding, Reid gave the kind of smirk that says, Oh, I've got tea. 'Well, there are a few I can't tell,' he teased. After a little nudging, he added, 'No, there are a lot of great stories. He's done so many good things — all the things he's done off the field that people don't know about, just helping people out. He's got a big heart that way and I appreciate that the most.' Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Translation: Reid has receipts, but the VIP version is getting saved for wedding-day champagne speeches. Andy Reid might be known for his legendary play-calling and coaching career, but now we also know he's got elite music taste and some serious pop culture connections. If there's any NFL coach who could seamlessly bridge the gap between Super Bowl wins and Eras Tour setlists, it's Big Red himself. Also read -

Andy Reid gushed over Taylor Swift in radio interview
It is no secret that Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is a big fan of pop star Taylor Swift. The 14-time Grammy winner has been dating Reid's tight end, Travis Kelce, for two years, and the play caller has frequently talked about them and their relationship. Reid's relationship with Swift predates Kelce meeting the The Tortured Poets Department singer, and he has previously gushed over her bringing the team homemade pop-tarts, worn friendship bracelets and more. The long-time NFL coach talked once again about Swift, this time on 96.5 The Fan with Bob Fescoe and Dusty Likins. The local Kansas City station dug into the details, even getting coach to spill his favorite Taylor album (it's Red). Swift, who Reid called "arguably the most famous woman in the world since the Queen [Elizabeth II] passed away," earned praise from the coach for her handling of the spotlight. He also got into how impactful Swift being around football has been for girls and women interested in the game, and more. Check out the segment here: The Chiefs will be looking to make their fourth straight Super Bowl this season, with Kelce entering his 13th — and potentially final — year in the league.

'There are a few I can't tell': Andy Reid hints at wild wedding stories about Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift
Photo byWhat would Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid say if he had to give a wedding toast for Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift? As the NFL world continues to buzz about the relationship between the superstar tight end and the global pop icon, Reid gave fans a glimpse into what that moment might sound like. Speaking in a recent radio interview, he didn't just drop hints about the couple — he shared heartfelt stories, an unexpected personal connection to Swift, and a few tales about Kelce that he jokingly admitted were too wild to share on air. His words offer a unique look at two of the most recognizable names in the world today — and the bond they share both on and off the field. Andy Reid opens up on Taylor Swift 's roots, Travis Kelce 's heart, and what fans might hear at their wedding During a candid live interview on Kansas City sports radio station 96.5 The Fan, Andy Reid sat down with hosts Fescoe and Dusty to talk about everything from football to pop culture. The conversation took a playful turn when the Kansas City Chiefs head coach was asked what story he might share at the potential wedding of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift. 'Well, there are a few I can't tell,' Reid laughed, immediately sparking curiosity. 'No, there are a lot of great stories. He's done so many good things, all the things he does off the field that people don't know about, just helping people out. He's got a big heart that way.'

Plays Star Undo by Taboola by Taboola Andy Reid, who coached Kelce through multiple Super Bowl runs and watched him grow into one of the NFL's most charismatic stars, used the moment to highlight a side of Travis Kelce that doesn't often get media attention. While the world sees the touchdown celebrations and viral interviews, Reid emphasized Kelce's quiet generosity and compassion — traits he believes make him more than just a football player. And when it comes to Taylor Swift, Reid surprised fans by revealing that he and his family were already fans long before she and Kelce began dating. 'Now listen, I knew her before he knew her,' Reid said. 'So my family has been a big fan of hers. We know her father and mother and that whole deal from the Philadelphia area. Her dad is a huge football fan.' The connection goes back to Reid's time as head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, where Swift's family also lived. It was in Philly that the two worlds — NFL and pop stardom — had their first subtle intersection, long before headlines tied Kelce and Swift together. Reid even admitted he has a favorite album from Swift's extensive discography: Red, her 2012 release. The choice adds a personal, almost fatherly charm to Reid's commentary — a moment of generational crossover between stadium anthems and stadium concerts. Reflecting on Swift's influence, Reid didn't mince words: 'She's become the most famous woman in the world since probably the Queen [Elizabeth] passed away. She sure handled it the right way, and that's the part I appreciate the most.' His remarks came just days before the Kansas City Chiefs opened their 2025–26 NFL season on Friday, September 5 against the Los Angeles Chargers. The game was held in an international spotlight — São Paulo, Brazil — and marked the first time the league kicked off its season in South America. Andy Reid's take fuels the Taylor Swift–Travis Kelce wedding hype Andy Reid's warm, humorous, and honest reflections offered a rare glimpse into the personalities behind the headlines. Whether teasing stories about Travis Kelce or praising Taylor Swift's grace under global attention, his words bridged the worlds of football and pop culture with sincerity. And if wedding bells really are in the future for the NFL's favorite couple, Reid's toast — filtered or not — will no doubt be one for the ages. Also Read: T.J.

Look, Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs are about to play in the Super Bowl. So it's probably WAY too soon to be thinking about this for the legendary future Hall of Fame tight end. But the questions have popped up a bit after he finished his 11th NFL season at age 35: is Kelce thinking about retirement? Patrick Mahomes was asked fairly recently and his answer to 96.5 The Fan: 'I have no idea. He hasn't said anything to me if he's thinking that … If it is his last game, let's go out there and get him a win. If it's not his last game, let's go out and get him a win anyway.' And with retirement talk swirling, Kelce said this about his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, to Stephen A. Smith: 'She's fully encouraging me to enjoy playing this game. She loves coming to Arrowhead and coming to the games and cheering for me, so I have all the support in the world to keep chasing these dreams.' That could mean he'll keep playing. But then there's this report from Ian Rapoport: 'Sources say Kelce is undecided about his future, and Sunday's result could affect it.'
