Back in August, Belichick openly shared his admiration for Taylor Swift, and in September, he playfully mentioned her as the "biggest catch" in Travis Kelce's career. As the Chiefs gear up to face the Patriots at Gillette Stadium this month, the 71-year-old coach is avoiding any extraneous conversation.
During his weekly WEEI radio show on Monday morning, Belichick was asked if he could secure tickets for a co-host to meet Swift.
"Taylor Swift should be in attendance. You know I'm a Swiftie, just like yourself. If there are any other tickets that seem to pop up, I am able and willing. If you would like to make my dream come true in life, I'm all ears."
Belichick responded, "We'll pass that along to our ticket department and let them handle it. I don't really know anything about tickets."
"What about a postgame meet-and-greet, Bill? Will you be meeting Taylor Swift?"
Belichick: "Yeah, I'm really focused on trying to get our team ready to play Kansas City."
As his team prepares to host the Chiefs and Taylor Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelce, in just a few days, the Patriots' head coach is not interested in such discussions.
It remains uncertain whether Swift will be at Gillette Stadium on Sunday. Her attendance at Chiefs games has been sporadic this season since she started dating Kelce. She is currently on a personal two-game losing streak, with losses at Lambeau Field and Arrowhead Stadium.
Belichick is experiencing the most challenging season of his 29-year head-coaching career, and his position in Foxboro is facing intense scrutiny.
New England and Kansas City are scheduled to kick off at 1 p.m. ET.
