Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end, have become a power couple in 2023. Swift, an international pop star, has been seen attending Chiefs games and supporting her boyfriend. However, her presence has sparked criticism from various corners, including those who dislike Swift and those who believe she receives too much attention from the NFL and its broadcast partners.
One of Kelce’s teammates, safety Justin Reid, has come to Swift’s defense. In an interview with TMZ, Reid expressed his admiration for Swift and his confusion over the negativity surrounding her. He described her as a sweet person and an incredible artist.
Rumors of Swift and Kelce’s relationship started circulating earlier in the season when Swift attended a Chiefs game against the Chicago Bears in Week 3. Since then, she has been present at 12 games, including the Chiefs’ recent postseason matchups against the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, and Baltimore Ravens.
It remains uncertain whether Swift will attend Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas due to a scheduled concert in Toyko, Japan, a few days before the big game. Despite other celebrities also attending games, Swift’s presence has faced backlash, particularly after she was seen kissing Kelce at the end of the AFC title game.
From Reid’s perspective, Swift is not just a famous figure showing up at Chiefs games; she is also the partner of one of his teammates.
