Travis Kelce Says He Will ‘Save Some’ of Taylor Swift’s Homemade Pop Tarts ‘for Coach’ Andy Reid
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid revealed the star “makes a mean pop tart” — even if he hasn’t tried them for himself. “As good a singer as she is and entertainer, she’s also a really good cook,” Reid said on The Rich Eisen Show on Thursday.
Reid, who first talked about Swift’s baking earlier in March, explained that she brought her desserts for the offensive linemen (which includes Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce) during the season.
She just doesn’t share it with me, she shares it with all the linemen,” he said lightheartedly to Eisen. “And I’m telling her, ‘You gotta give a little to the coach.’”
Now Kelce — who was spotted dancing in Singapore at Swift’s Eras Tour performance — is making sure that happens. “😂😂😂 We gotta save some for coach!!” Kelce commented on an Instagram clip of the interview.
Reid emphasized the “Karma” singer’s “smart” choice to treat the linemen first in a previous interview with Mike Florio and Chris Simms at the NFL Scouting Combine.
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,” said Reid . “So it was over. She knew right where to go.”
Eisen asked if the baked goods’ filling was “Chief’s red,” and Reid replied, “She doesn’t miss much so I’m sure it probably was.”
The official Pop-Tarts company heard about Swift’s recreation and called on her to “release” the recipe. The toaster-pastry brand shared an Instagram post recreating Swift’s Eras Tour poster — and included a call to action in the caption.
To KC’s most famous fan, we heard there’s a Pop-Tarts pastry (Your Version) and in its honor, we’re donating to @harvesters, a local Feeding America partner food bank,” it read. “But if you #releasetherecipe, we’ll double our donation 🫶🫶.”
This isn’t the only baked good Swift has shared with the Chiefs during the football season. While on Audacy’s AM 560 Sports WQAM in December, former NFL player Bernie Kosar said Swift brought Kelce homemade cinnamon rolls before one of his games.
We’re having pregame meal and Taylor is so nice she comes in by herself and she’s so cool, she brings, she made her homemade cinnamon rolls for Travis for pregame meal,” said Kosar.
