Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid has acknowledged the positive impact of Taylor Swift’s presence on star tight end Travis Kelce’s performance.
Kelce had a standout game with 12 receptions for 179 yards and a touchdown during the Chiefs’ victory over the Los Angeles Chargers.
Notably, he became the first tight end since 2000 to achieve 100 receiving yards in the first half of back-to-back games.
It seems that Kelce plays at his best when his girlfriend, Swift, is in the audience. CBS Sports even highlighted the significant difference in Kelce’s stats when Swift is present, with an average of 99 receiving yards per game compared to 46.5 when she’s absent.
Happy to have her in the stands
Reid is open to the idea of Swift attending more games if it keeps Kelce performing at his peak.
While some Chiefs fans may prefer to focus solely on football, it’s undeniable that Swift’s presence has had a substantial impact on Kelce and even the NFL from a business perspective.
Meanwhile, Reid doesn’t seem to mind, as he recognizes the clear improvement in Kelce’s performance when Swift is around.
“She can stay around all she wants,” Reid said.
It appears that Swift has become a significant part of Chiefs nation, whether fans fully embrace it or not.
Her presence seems to be a good luck charm for Kelce, and it’s something the Chiefs are happy to welcome.
