Taylor Swift's Dad Scott Has An Unexpected Connection To Travis Kelce

Posted by Tandra Barner on Tuesday, May 28, 2024

When Andy Reid appeared on the "Let's Go! with Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald, and Jim Gary" podcast, in January 2024, he corroborated knowing Scott Swift since he was a college football player. Reid happily detailed how Scott introduced him to his daughter, Taylor Swift, before her relationship with Travis Kelce started, too. The beloved coach also revealed Kelce's reaction to learning this information. "That was the last thing Trav wanted to hear, that I knew her before him," Reid acknowledged. "She told him, 'I know your coach, and he went, 'Oh, God, come on!'" 

The longstanding Swift family friend added that he couldn't be happier about Taylor and Kelce's romance. After the couple went public, some Chiefs fans were concerned that Taylor would throw the tight end off his game, but Reid stressed that wasn't the case. We saw the Chiefs head coach and Taylor's rapport live in action when she joined the team on the field to celebrate their AFC Championship win, and they pointed to each other. 

ESPN posted a photo of the sweet moment on Instagram and Kelce shared the love by liking it. During a subsequent episode of the "New Heights" podcast, Kelce noted that he had discussed the connection with the "Blank Space" songstress. We can also see that Kelce has grown close to Scott because he previously respectfully referred to him as Mr. Swift but, in the newer episode, the pro-athlete endearingly called him "Big Scott" instead.
