Andy Reid Comments On Travis Kelce And Taylor Swift Engagement

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement has officially become the fairytale moment fans were hoping for. The pop superstar and Kansas City Chiefs tight end announced their big news on August 26 with a romantic garden proposal that instantly went viral. Swift confirmed the engagement on Instagram, showing Kelce down on one knee surrounded by elaborate floral arrangements, while she lovingly embraced him. The announcement sent Swifties and NFL fans alike into a frenzy. And now, even Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is weighing in on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement.

Speaking to reporters on Friday, August 29, Reid gushed over his superstar tight end and the pop icon’s romance. “I’m happy for them,” the 67-year-old coach said, per Us Weekly. “It’s hard to find somebody that you fall in love with. That’s not an easy thing, to really fall in love. And it seems like they’re there. I think it’s a great deal for both of them.”

Reid praised the couple for the way they’ve handled their high-profile relationship. “They like being around each other. That’s a plus, I think,” he continued. “They’re both busy people in their own right. Both are very famous in their own right. It’s kinda neat that they come together and handle themselves the way they do.”

Kelce popped the question to Swift on Tuesday, August 26, in a dreamy garden setting that could have been lifted straight from one of her music videos. The tight end got down on one knee as the pop superstar embraced him against a backdrop of elaborate floral arrangements.

Swift confirmed the happy news on Instagram with a cheeky caption that instantly sent fans into a frenzy. “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” she wrote.

Her stunning Old Mine Brilliant Cut diamond engagement ring, estimated to be worth up to $1 million, also became a talking point online, especially as she showed it off in a carousel video set to her ballad “So High School,” which fans believe was written about Kelce.

Travis isn’t just getting love from his head coach. His brother Jason Kelce is also celebrating the big news. On a preview clip for the “New Heights” podcast, Jason made sure to pause the football talk to congratulate Travis and Taylor.

“But before we get to that, there is one gigantic piece of new news that just hit the waves,” Jason said with a grin. “We felt necessary as a team here at New Heights to get together and send Travis and Taylor a giant congratulations for being engaged! The proposal heard around the world! F-ck yeah!”

Jason also clarified that the upcoming season premiere of “New Heights” was recorded before the engagement announcement, but that didn’t stop him from sharing his excitement and pride for the couple’s fairytale moment.

The newly engaged duo didn’t waste any time stepping out together. Just days after the proposal, Swift and Kelce were spotted having their first public date night at Arrowhead Stadium, the very place their love story first captured the world’s attention.

Swift kept her look effortlessly chic in a sweater vest, mini denim skirt, and knee-high white boots, with her dazzling new ring stealing the spotlight.

Earlier this month, Swift made her long-awaited debut on Travis and Jason Kelce’s “New Heights podcast,” and the episode was nothing short of historic. Guinness World Records confirmed on August 13 that the episode set a new world record for “the most concurrent views for a podcast on YouTube,” pulling in an astonishing 1.3 million live viewers.

During the record-breaking appearance, Swift dropped a bombshell. She revealed her upcoming 12th studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” sending Swifties into overdrive. She revealed the cover art, the song list, and the release date of October 3, 2025.
