John Harbaugh might not be a fully-fledged Taylor Swift fan, but he’s majorly invested in her relationship with Travis Kelce.
In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, the Baltimore Ravens head coach and Harbaugh Coaching Academy co-founder, 61, explained he has daughter Alison to thank for giving him an education in all things Swiftie.
“I couldn’t say I’m a Taylor Swift fan because I don’t know enough of the songs,” Harbaugh admitted, “but the songs I’ve heard from my daughter over the years, I like ‘em. I think they’re excellent. I think she’s so talented. When you watch her perform, oh my god, it’s sick how talented she is.”
Once Swift, 34, started dating Kansas City Chiefs star Kelce, also 34, in summer 2023, Harbaugh couldn’t help but wonder if it might expedite the decorated tight end’s exit from the league, giving the coach and his staff one less headache to have to worry about.

“I hope they get married,” Harbaugh said. “I hope they have a bunch of kids. Heck, maybe he’ll get ready to retire here pretty soon to pursue that family aspect of his life.”
Harbaugh continued, “I would encourage that.” All jokes aside, Harbaugh said Swift and Kelce’s high-powered romance is “the coolest thing ever” and that he’s “rooting for them.”
As Harbaugh prepares to return to the sidelines this fall for his 17th season as head coach of the Ravens – opening up the regular season against Kelce and the Chiefs on September 5, no less – he has his sights set on mentoring the next generation of sports leaders.
