In the aftermath of yet another AFC championship game triumph, the coach who grew up in Hollywood, the son of a scenic artist who once shaped set backgrounds and fashioned props for movies, plays and television shows, ambled toward the victory stage. En route, he bumped into the most famous singer-songwriter on the planet, another example of what’s now just ‘normal’ or ‘Sunday’ in Kansas City. They embraced, the 66-year-old coach and the 35-year-old singer/songwriter/icon. Television cameras crowded close nearby.

Andy Reid, it turns out, is a certified Swiftie. In fact, he knew Taylor Swift and her family long before she reached anything near her current level of fame.
