Andy Reid is eagerly anticipating the grand arrival at Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's wedding, ready to touch down in style. During a delightful appearance on Kansas City sports radio's 96.5 The Fan on May 14th, the Kansas City Chiefs head coach teased about receiving an invitation to the couple's upcoming nuptials. "I probably have," he said with a grin. "If my tuxedo holds up until then, I'm definitely going."
The 68-year-old coach emphasized his immense happiness for the couple as they tie the knot. "When it comes down to it, it doesn't matter how extravagant the show is," he added. "The most important thing is that they're in love."
Andy has coached Travis throughout his entire NFL career, but his ties to Taylor's family began long before their romance. Taylor herself revealed that Andy and her father, Scott Swift, are longtime friends, sharing many "positive" encounters with the football coach over the years.
"I didn't really know what sports he was involved in, but I knew that was my dad's friend, Andy Reid," she recalled on Travis' New Heights podcast. "Now I know he's the most iconic, legendary coach of all time."
In fact, just weeks before Taylor and Travis, both 36, announced their engagement on August 26th, Andy was already looking ahead to the couple's potential wedding, revealing which anecdote he'd share in a potential speech. "Well, there are a few I can't tell," he joked during an appearance on 96.5 The Fan. "He's done so many good things—all the things he does off the field that people don't know about, just helping people out. He has a big heart that way. I appreciate that the most."
He was equally full of praise after learning that Travis had popped the question to Taylor. "I'm happy for them," he said in an interview. "It's hard to find somebody 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."
"They like being around each other," Andy—who has been married to his wife, Tammy Reid, since 1981—added. "That's a plus, I think. 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."
