Taylor Swift has Andy Reid in her corner.
Weeks after the singer, 35, was booed by some Super Bowl LIX attendees after being shown on the jumbotron during the championship game, the Kansas City Chiefs head coach, 66, came to her defense in a new interview.
Reid mentioned Swift while speaking to Mike Florio and Chris Simms at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine for NFL on NBC.

“She’s a good girl. She handles that whole thing the right way, that’s a tough deal. But she does a great job with handling it,” said Reid after being asked if he had “anything else” to share about Swift. (During last year’s NFL Combine, Reid told the same hosts about the singer’s homemade pastries — a story that quickly went viral.)
“Kelce, I think, does a great job with handling it. She’s part of the team and like the other girlfriends and wives, they’re part of it. And that’s all part of the process,” Reid added.
Swift was at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans during the 2025 Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 9, supporting her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, 35. The Chiefs lost to the Philadelphia Eagles, 40-22.
Fans first spotted Swift at a Chiefs game when the team took on the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium in September 2023.
“Listen I’m a big fan so I’m glad she was here and I hope she enjoyed it,” Reid told PEOPLE in December 2023. “She’s got a great guy she’s dating right now, so I’m happy for both of them.”
Throughout her Eras Tour run, Swift attended Chiefs games on her off days, and Kelce returned the favor by catching various shows.

In her Time’s 2023 Person of the Year profile, Swift said she was intent on showing her support for Kelce no matter what.
“When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care,” she said.

“The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. We’re just proud of each other,” continued Swift.
As for Kelce’s future with the team, Reid said they talk “all the time.”
“I told him, ‘Don’t think about that,’ ” Reid explained. “Just relax man. Chill down. We have time for that.”
