Chiefs Coach Acknowledges 'The Taylor Swift Effect' On Travis Kelce

Taylor Swift's rumored romance with Travis Kelce has the Kansas City Chiefs coach rooting for the pair!

While the viral duo refuses to put a label on their blossoming relationship, fans continue to ship the twosome as the next power couple, thanks to their touching gestures. Now, the NFL star's head coach is raving about the sensational songstress's influence on the athlete's performance.

Andy Reid, the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, recently honored the "Cruel Summer" singer with a sweet message. The 65-year-old's homage to the Billboard Women in Music honoree came after Kelce's impressive record in the ongoing NFL season.

The football tight end has achieved the best three-game stretch of his career, with his most stellar accomplishments being the 12-catch, 179-yard, and one-touchdown record in Sunday's match against the Los Angeles Chargers.

The athlete's performance helped the Chiefs score another victory, a blessing the NFL team's coach linked to Swift. Although Reid noted that Kelce aged like wine, getting better than ever with time, the 65-year-old acknowledged the "Bad Blood" artist's effect on the football player.

The blonde beauty has supported her alleged beau four times this season, causing him to average more than twice as many yards with her appearances than without.

Reflecting on the "Taylor Swift effect" after his team emerged victorious with a 31-17 win on Sunday, ESPN reported that the Chiefs head coach raved, "Taylor can stay around all she wants."

Reid's sweet wish for the Glamour Award winner to remain in the audience stands was understandable, given Kelce's performances in her presence. The 34-year-old has achieved 31 catches in his three games against the Minnesota Vikings, Denver Broncos, and the Los Angeles Chargers.

On the other hand, some of Kelce's teammates did not link the athlete's achievements to his budding relationship with Swift. The Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling praised the Ohio sensation's talents, saying: "You can know what he's going to run, and you still can't stop it."

The NFL team's quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, echoed similar sentiments about Kelce's ability to stun opponents with swift maneuvers. According to the son of former Baseball pitcher Pat Mahomes, Swift's speculated lover did not always know the route he would take when running.

"The main thing is the way he is able to recognize coverage and adjust on the fly," Mahomes explained and then added, "We always talk about it, but it's something that you can't take for granted."

"It's almost like he's playing Madden. He can read the coverage and stop in the windows and be open and be on the same page as me at all times, and so he did a great job," the 28-year-old elaborated, claiming that Kelce will be a "Hall of Famer one day."

Before the couple's rumored romance received the Chiefs head coach's approval, Kelce got fans screaming with a million-dollar romantic gesture. The tight-end player bought a new home in Kansas City to spend quality time with the "Blank Space" hitmaker, according to sources.

The lavish property reportedly cost the 34-year-old a little under $6 million, a deal he closed on October 19. The house, located in a gated community, has the best features money could buy, including a mini-golf course, a pool with a waterfall, and a tennis and pickleball court.

The more than 16,000 square feet of living space provided Kelce the privacy to enjoy quality time with Swift. Insiders claimed the athlete's former home did not meet the requirements, with paparazzi and fans staking the place to catch a glimpse of the duo.

The Ohio hunk felt uncomfortable with the situation, with the last straw breaking this past weekend when cameramen parked outside his home during the "Shake it Off" songstress's visit. Kelce's new property purchase came at the heels of the lovebirds' viral PDA moment in NYC.

The pair turned heads by holding hands while grabbing dinner at a popular joint. Following their romantic date, a source claimed that Travis Kelce's relationship with Swift differed from the athlete's previous romances. In the informant's words:

"It was very unexpected for his friends, but he’s so into her and very, very happy. Some people thought he was just joking around about the bracelet and having a crush on her earlier this summer, but he was serious about it. Everyone’s getting along and seeing how much fun they have together. They make a very cute couple."
