Chiefs coach attributes Travis Kelce's early-season performance to support from Taylor Swift
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said concerns that Travis Kelce's recent marriage would affect his play were unfounded, noting that his partner’s presence and work ethic help keep him motivated.
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that any doubts about tight end Travis Kelce’s conditioning after his July wedding were misplaced, pointing to the player’s continued high level of effort. Reid told KSHB 41 that Kelce “works his rear end off” and suggested that his wife, singer Taylor Swift, also motivates him, adding, “I’m sure she kicks him in the butt a little bit there, too.”
Kelce helped the Chiefs win 33-30 in overtime against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, scoring his first touchdown of the season while Swift cheered from the stands. The coach’s comments came after the victory, which marked a strong start for Kansas City’s offense.
