Andy Reid reveals Taylor Swift baked POP-TARTS for the Kansas City Chiefs’ offensive linemen last season amid her romance with Travis Kelce… but the head coach didn’t get any!
Taylor Swift surprised the Kansas City Chiefs’ offensive linemen last season by baking them some homemade Pop-Tarts, head coach Andy Reid has revealed.
Swift has become the most high-profile member of Chiefs Kingdom since she rocked up at Arrowhead for the very first time to watch boyfriend Travis Kelce in action back in September.
The pop megastar returned there on a number of occasions throughout the season as her and Kelce’s relationship went from strength to strength, while even attending a few Chiefs fixtures on the road.
And to put the icing on the cake, she was at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas earlier this month to watch her new man become a three-time Super Bowl champion.
However, it appears Swift is not only showing her support for Kelce in the Kansas City locker room.

According to Reid, the singer and songwriter won over some of Travis’ teammates by baking them Pop-Tarts last season.
‘I think it’s a great escape for her,’ he told Pro Football Talk about Swift attending Chiefs fixtures. ‘She sincerely enjoys the games.
‘Behind the scenes she likes to cook, so she made the offensive linemen these homemade Pop-Tarts.
‘So it was over. She knew right where to go.’
But did Reid manage to get his hands on any?
‘No, she didn’t give me one,’ he admitted. ‘And the offensive lineman definitely didn’t!’
Swift was a magnet for headlines throughout the NFL season, regularly finding herself in the spotlight as she cheered on Kelce in the stands on numerous occasions.
Reid believes Swift is the most famous woman in the world following the death of British monarch Queen Elizabeth II
Yet Reid insists her attendance wasn’t a distraction for his team, while also claiming the 14-time Grammy Award winner fully embraced the team spirit despite her dizzying levels of fame – which he compared to late British monarch Queen Elizabeth II.
‘I really didn’t worry about it,’ he said of the extra attention Swift attracted to the team this season.
‘I knew her dad and her mom, good solid people. I’d met her when she was young. She’s so grounded for who she is.
‘Since the Queen has passed away, she might be the most famous woman in the world. But she handles it.’
