Taylor Swift is not only a pop superstar, but also a secret weapon for the Kansas City Chiefs. The singer, who is dating tight end Travis Kelce, made homemade Pop-Tarts for the team’s offensive line during the 2023 NFL season, according to coach Andy Reid.
A Sweet Surprise from Taylor Swift
Reid revealed the sweet surprise during an interview with NBC Sports’ Mike Florio and Chris Simms at the NFL Scouting Combine on Tuesday. He said that Swift, who attended 13 of Kelce’s games throughout the season, showed her culinary skills to the team “behind-the-scenes”.
“Kind of behind-the-scenes, she, to fit in — she didn’t even know she was doing this, I don’t think — she likes to cook, so she made the offensive linemen these homemade Pop-Tarts,” Reid said. “So it was over. She knew right where to go.”
Reid joked that he didn’t get any Pop-Tarts from Swift, and that the offensive linemen didn’t share them with him either. He added that Swift’s gesture was just another example of her being “grounded” and “cool”.

“I knew her dad and her mom — good, solid people. I met her when she was young. And she’s so grounded for who she is. I mentioned somewhere that since the queen passed away, she might be the most famous woman in the world,” Reid said. “But she handles it.”
Reid also said that having Taylor Swift at their games was “never an issue — honestly”. He praised Kelce for handling the relationship well, and said that Swift was supportive of the team.
“Travis handled it great,” he said. “She handled it great. And it was never an issue.”
A Winning Recipe
Taylor Swifts homemade Pop-Tarts may have been a winning recipe for the Chiefs, who won their second Super Bowl in franchise history earlier this month, defeating the San Francisco 49ers 31-20. Swift was present at the game, cheering for Kelce and his teammates from a VIP suite. She was seen waving to fans, singing along to her songs, and even handing out guitar picks. After the game, she greeted Kelce with a kiss and celebrated with him and the team.
Taylor Swift and Kelce, both 34, have been dating since last summer, after meeting at the MTV Video Music Awards. They have been inseparable ever since, traveling the world together and spending time at Kelce’s home in Kansas City, Mo.
Swift has also been a generous hostess to Kelce’s friends and former teammates. In December, retired NFL star Bernie Kosar revealed that Swift made him homemade cinnamon rolls when he visited Kelce’s house.
“Taylor is so nice,” Kosar told the “Tobin and Leroy” show. “She comes in by herself, she’s so cool, she brings … she made her homemade cinnamon rolls for Travis for a pregame meal.”
Swift has also been busy with her music career, releasing two albums in 2023, Anti-Hero and Eras. She recently wrapped up the Australian leg of her Eras Tour, which Kelce joined her for. The couple enjoyed some quality time in Sydney, visiting the zoo and going on a boat ride.
Swift and Kelce are one of the most popular celebrity couples in the world, and their fans can’t get enough of their adorable moments. Whether it’s baking, traveling, or supporting each other, they seem to have a perfect relationship.
And who knows, maybe Swift will make some more Pop-Tarts for the Chiefs next season. After all, they seem to have a sweet tooth for success.
