Star of the Kansas City Chiefs, Travis Kelce, after deciding not to retire at the end of the 2025 NFL season, is showing a strong start to the 2026 season. His coach, Andy Reid, attributes Kelce’s success to his new wife, singer Taylor Swift.
During a virtual press conference on September 21, Reid noted, «I think Taylor, she does four-hour shows, so he’s got to work hard too». According to the coach, Swift is likely encouraging Kelce in his efforts.
After two games of the 2026 season, the Chiefs have a record of 2−0, and Kelce, who is 36 years old, has accumulated 172 yards and made one touchdown. In comparison, last season he averaged just over 50 yards per game. Part of Kelce’s success may also be linked to the return of his friend and quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who missed the last three games of the 2025 season.
Reid emphasized that Kelce is working hard: «He's really putting in the effort. That’s the main thing». Taylor Swift attended the first two games of the season, supporting her husband just two months after their wedding in a star-studded ceremony at Madison Square Garden, hosted by Adam Sandler.
Reid, who also attended the wedding, has long supported the couple. He joked that he has known Swift longer than Kelce and expressed happiness for their love. Reid added that it is important for both of them to find time for each other despite their busy schedules and fame.
