Andy Reid Defends Taylor Swift Amid Super Bowl Backlash

Andy Reid, the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, publicly praised Taylor Swift for her handling of public scrutiny during her relationship with tight end Travis Kelce, especially after she was booed by Philadelphia Eagles fans at Super Bowl 2025. Reid described Swift as a 'good girl' who manages the situation admirably, emphasizing that she is now part of the Chiefs' extended family, akin to other players' partners. Despite facing backlash, Swift's presence has reportedly generated nearly $1 billion for the NFL and led to increased viewership among younger female audiences. Reid reassured Kelce about his future with the team amid retirement speculation, encouraging him to take his time in making decisions. Swift's appearances at games have significantly influenced the league, with a notable spike in social media engagement among women aged 13 to 24. Following the Chiefs' loss to the Eagles, sources indicated Swift remained supportive of Kelce.
