Andy Reid has offered his take on why Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce work as a couple, with the Chiefs coach explaining that the relationship is an “escape” for both of them.
Since they began dating publicly last fall, Swift and Kelce have been fixtures at each other’s games and concerts respectively, and Reid believes they’ve both enjoyed taking a backseat at times.
“He can handle it. I think he’s got a great chance to escape,” Reid began on The Athletic’s ‘Scoop City’ podcast.
“I said the same thing about Taylor. I mean, she comes to the game and she can escape having to be the center of attention. And when he goes to her concerts, she’s the star and he can be there and be her support or her water boy.”
Travis has been following Taylor around Europe during the offseason on her Eras Tour, and the Chiefs tight end even joined her onstage at Wembley Stadium in London.
Travis Kelce joined Taylor Swift onstage during her concert last month at Wembley Stadium.

During a celebrity golf tournament taking place near Lake Tahoe, Nevada, he was asked if he would make another onstage cameo and opted to play coy.
“I can’t let anything go,” Kelce said from the American Century Championship. “But right now, after golf, I’m in football mode.”
While Kelce may not be joining Swift onstage again anytime soon, he did open up about his cameo during a recent episode of her podcast, New Heights.
“It’s not like me,” Kelce told his brother Jason. “I’m not a big musician and I don’t like getting up on stage. There were so many people there, I didn’t really feel at home.”
He also explained how the performance came about.
Swift was also a fixture at Kelce’s games last season, as the pair shared a kiss at the Super Bowl.
‘I initially mentioned to Tay that I thought it would be funny if he rode one of the motorcycles on the 1989 set.
Meanwhile, Swift became a full-fledged Chiefs fan after she and Kelce started dating.
He attended no fewer than 13 games last season, including the Super Bowl, when Kansas City repeated as NFL champions.
Kelce, 34, will return to the Chiefs for his 12th season after signing a new two-year deal worth $34.25 million this offseason.
There had previously been speculation he might hang up his boots amid his high-profile relationship with Swift and with his brother Jason, 36, retiring after a stellar career with the Eagles.
