When Taylor Swift first started dating Travis Kelce, she wanted to make sure that his family approved of her. And I’m not just talking about the Kelce clan.
Along with his biological family, Kelce is a member of the Kansas City Chiefs. And Swift started attending many of the games to cheer Kelce and the rest of the team on.
So when her relationship with Kelce first started, Swift made an effort to connect with the team. And it certainly impressed Chiefs head coach Andy Reid.
“I’m going to tell you, she’s a good girl first of all. Her dad is a big football fan. When I was in Philadelphia, he was a big Eagles fan,” Reid said when speaking with T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert. “They’re from Pennsylvania. He played at Delaware. And so she had a pretty good idea of what football is all about, probably not at this level, but a pretty good idea.
“But she handled it right. She came in, I mentioned this publicly, she came in and made the offensive linemen Pop Tarts. Literally made them Pop Tarts. She didn’t give me any, but she made them… She went right to the offensive lineman and she was automatically brought into the fold. You get the offensive line guys figured out, the defensive line guys figured out, you’re okay.”
However, when Reid didn’t get one of those Pop Tarts, he joked saying it was “a big problem.”
Reid first mentioned the Pop Tarts during the NFL Combine, highlighting Swift’s efforts with the team.
“And kind of behind the scenes to kind of fit in, she didn’t even know she was doing this I don’t think, but she likes to cook,” the head coach said in February. “So she made the offensive linemen these homemade pop tarts.”
The singer has become a staple on the Chiefs this season, with the team even making references to her. She celebrated with them all night after they won Super Bowl LVIII, showing that the team has truly embraced her.
So in case you are wondering How Did it End?, the Chiefs picked up another Super Bowl trophy, while Swift and Kelce are still going strong. It’s everyone’s favorite Love Story and we’ll look forward to seeing the singer in more Red next season.
