Andy Reid Defends Taylor Swift After She Got Booed at Super Bowl: ‘She’s Part of the Team’

Andy Reid is not happy about the Taylor Swift slander.

The Kansas City Chiefs coach joined NFL on NBC this week for a wide-ranging conversation about the Super Bowl, where he came to the “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” singer’s defense after she was met with boos from the crowd at the big game in New Orleans on Feb. 9. The star was in attendance to support her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

“She’s a good girl, she handles that whole thing the right way, that’s a tough deal,” Reid said of the disheartening moment. “But she does a great job of handling it. Kelce, I think, does a great job of handling it… She’s part of the team.”

In videos taken at the event at Caesars Superdome — where the Chiefs lost to the Philadelphia Eagles 22-40 — Swift is seen sitting next to her “Karma” collaborator Ice Spice when the Jumbotron pans to her, showing off the myriad of celebrities in attendance at the Super Bowl. A choir of “boos” then erupts from parts of the stadium, likely from Eagles supporters. In the moment, the 14-time Grammy winner handled the situation with grace, simply giving a side-eye and a wince before laughing. “What’s going on,” she’s seen saying, shaking the whole situation off.
