Kansas City Chiefs safety Justin Reid gave a glowing review of his teammate Travis Kelce’s new girlfriend, mega pop star Taylor Swift. “She’s very, very sweet,” Reid told TMZ Sports of the music icon.
“She found a way to compliment everyone she talked to. I don’t understand why she’s getting all the hate,” he added. “She’s an awesome person, awesome artist all around.”
Swift has been a regular in the stands at boyfriend Kelce’s games, drawing her own dedicated fans to the sport while raising groans from some diehard football fans, who blame her for drawing attention away from the game itself.
But Swift, a pro at shaking off the haters, isn’t going anywhere–despite a scheduled tour appearance in Japan on Feb. 10, she’s going all the way to the Super Bowl on Feb. 11 to see the Chiefs face off against the San Francisco 49ers. Not bad for a rookie.
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift clearly have the support of those in Kansas City’s locker room … ’cause Chiefs star Justin Reid tells TMZ Sports he’s a huge fan of the pop star and her relationship with his teammate.
The K.C. defensive back said this week he has been able to interact with Swift since she and Kelce went public with their romance earlier this season … and he had nothing but nice things to say about their encounters.
In fact, he said the 34-year-old “Love Story” crooner paid compliments to everyone he’s seen her meet so far this year.
“She’s very, very sweet,” Reid told us … “I don’t understand why she’s getting all the hate. She’s an awesome person, awesome artist all around.”
As for if Reid, Kelce and the rest of the Chiefs will get a private concert from Swift if they’re able to beat the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII next week … Reid says he isn’t exactly holding his breath on that one.
“I’m sure she’ll be busy celebrating with her man,” he said with a laugh.
Of course, it’s not yet for sure if Swift will even attend Kelce’s Big Game — after all, she has a concert in Tokyo just a day before kickoff … though given the way she’s already traveled this year for Travis, it seems likely at this point.
And, it appears Reid and the rest of the Chiefs will be more than happy to have her around if and when she makes it to Vegas.
