Andy Reid has embraced a recent compliment from Taylor Swift.
“She’s a good girl, first of all,” the Kansas City Chiefs coach told PEOPLE exclusively at the event held at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Kansas City. “And I mean, might be the most famous lady in the world right now since the queen has passed away.
“But what a phenomenal person she is, and I appreciate her saying that. She’s a great leader herself, and so is Travis.”
Swift complimented Reid’s leadership qualities during her appearance on boyfriend Travis Kelce‘s “New Heights” podcast.
On Aug. 13, the 35-year-old Swift called Reid “the most iconic, legendary coach of all time.”
She was most impressed, by his leadership style.
“I respect it so much because I feel like it’s done without aggression or raising your voice or losing your composure,” Swift said.
“It’s all very composed and focused.”
Swift’s comments were made in reaction to ESPN’s six-part docuseries, “The Kingdom,” which chronicles the Chiefs’ 2024 season.
“That’s a great compliment,” Reid said. “That might be the best compliment you can have.”
