\n\tStop trying to fight it. The next two weeks are going to be about the three teams playing in the Feb. 11 Super Bowl: the San Francisco 49ers, the Kansas City Chiefs and upstarts TNT (Travis N\u2019 Taylor). Even typically unflappable KC coach Andy Reid couldn\u2019t avoid getting roped into the romance that ate the NFL.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tTaylor Swift Parties With Cara Delevingne, Keleigh Sperry, Kylie Kelce & More at\u2026\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\n\tIn fact, Reid popped into this week\u2019s episode\u2019s Let\u2019s Go with Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald and Jim Gray<\/em> podcast to discuss his team\u2019s dominating victory in the AFC Championship game on Sunday, the endless pics of his signature horseshoe mustache freezing during the Miami game two weeks ago and the excellent play of QB Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce<\/a> this weekend.<\/p>\n

\n\tOh, he also dropped the one Taylor Swift<\/a>-related story he can claim as his own.<\/p>\n

\n\tAsked what it\u2019s like to be the \u201cBeatles\u201d \u2014 with so much attention on the team thanks to Swift\u2019s romance with Kelce and the deluge of press scrambling to chronicle their every kiss and whispered sweet nothing \u2014 Reid said simply, \u201cshe\u2019s been great.\u201d In fact, in a story sure to result in some additional locker room ribbing for Kelce, Reid once again noted that he actually knew the pop star before Travis did.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI knew her before, from Philadelphia. Her dad [Scott Swift] played at [University of] Delaware and was a big football fan and good guy,\u201d Reid said. \u201cSo I had met him there and her. So that was the last thing Trav wanted to hear, that I knew her before him. She told him, \u2018I know your coach,’\u201d Reid recalled. And he went, \u2018Oh, God, come on!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAll jokes aside, Reid said Swift is a \u201cgood girl and I\u2019m happy for Trav,\u201d while assuring fans of the team headed to their fourth Super Bowl in five years, \u201cthere\u2019s been no distraction at all. Travis handled it right, she\u2019s handled it right and we just move forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBack in October, Reid first joked<\/a> that he deserved some credit for the pop-pigskin love story. \u201cI knew her from Philadelphia, her dad was a big\u00a0NFL\u00a0fan,\u201d Reid told Donovan McNabb on his\u00a0OutKick<\/em> podcast. \u201cSo I had met her when she was real young, and her dad\u2026 I joked about setting Kelce up, and, you know, I\u2019m just saying!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile the rest of the world is tying itself in knots trying to figure out how, or if, Swift will be able to jet from her show in at the Tokyo Dome in Japan on Feb. 10 to Las Vegas in time for the 6:30 p.m. ET kick-off of Super Bowl LVIII at Allegiant Stadium, three-time Super Bowl champ Reid, as usual, is firmly focused on the X\u2019s and O\u2019s. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMaybe you\u2019re not the most talented. Maybe you\u2019re not the fastest or the quickest or whatever,\u201d he said in a press conference on Monday. \u201cBut let\u2019s go maximize what we are and let the chips fall where they may.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSuper Bowl LVII<\/a> will air on CBS and Nickelodeon and stream on Paramount+, with Usher performing the halftime show.<\/p>\n

\n\tListen to the episode below \u2014 Taylor talk begins at 24:30 mark.<\/p>\n
