BREAKING NEWS: Chiefs Coach Andy Reid Criticizes Taylor Swift, Warns Her to “Stay Away From My Players”
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has sparked a social media storm after making controversial comments directed at pop superstar Taylor Swift, telling her to “stay away from my players” and calling her “not a good role model.” The remarks reportedly stem from Swift’s rumored involvement with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and her increasing presence at NFL games this season.
The Controversial Statement
During a post-practice media session, Reid allegedly commented:
“I’m focused on football, not distractions. If people are going to be around my team, they need to set a positive example. Stay away from my players if you’re not going to be a good role model.”
While Reid didn’t explicitly name Swift, the timing and context of his remarks have left little doubt that he was addressing the pop icon.
