Ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs game against the Philadelphia Eagles, HC Reid’s interview took all the spotlight. The interviewer asked Reid about Taylor Swift and Chiefs’ TE’s chemistry. When specifically asked about their relationship, the 65-year-old coach gave a positive response. Reid expressed his contentment, and said, “I’m just glad he’s found somebody he likes and she’s found somebody she likes. That’s a good thing.” Later, the interviewer asked Reid about the tickets. He asked if any other coaches have been reaching out to Reid for tickets or autographs of the singer.
Surprisingly, Reid, 65, revealed that he hasn’t been inundated with requests from fellow NFL coaches for Swift’s concert tickets or autographs, contrary to what one might expect given the couple’s high-profile status. He said, “No, nobody’s mentioned much on that, It is what it is.” Reid’s support for the couple isn’t just recent.
