Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce’s recent romance, thanks to Erin Andrews, the sports commentator and matchmaker.
In a recent interview with TODAY, Erin Andrews admitted her role in bringing Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce together. She humorously noted that Kelce never sought her endorsement to Swift. She also expressed her intention to catch up with Kelce for more details. “I’ve left him alone. I’ll bug him this week to check in,” she said.
Erin Andrews, known for her matchmaking, even sent Taylor Swift a Chiefs jacket, which the singer wore during a recent appearance at one of Travis Kelce’s games.
On Late Night with Seth Meyers, Erin Andrews discussed her part in Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s love story. She revealed, “Travis was very open about not getting to meet her. We were candid because we love him and said, ‘Taylor, date this guy. He’s good-looking.'”
Andrews continued, “He’s a great guy. They got together. Of course, we’re getting all the credit.” She teasingly added, “We hope to officiate the wedding and be there when he proposes.”
This all began on the August 3 episode of Erin Andrews’ podcast, “Calm Down With Erin and Charissa,” co-hosted with Charissa Thompson. During that episode, Andrews encouraged Taylor Swift to consider dating Travis Kelce, saying, “Go on a date with this guy. Do it for America.”
Less than two months after the podcast’s viral moment, Swift surprised everyone by attending the Chiefs vs. Chicago Bears game at Arrowhead Stadium, where she cheered on Kelce alongside his mother, Donna. She even brought some star power to Kelce’s next game, introducing her friends Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, and Hugh Jackman.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have become a power couple in the public eye. They solidified their budding romance with a classic celebrity-style outing in New York City, photographed hand in hand as they headed to dinner at Nobu with Kelce’s friends. Later, they surprised fans by making appearances on the season premiere of Saturday Night Live at Studio 8H.
Erin Andrews’ matchmaking skills played a role in uniting these two stars, and fans await more updates on this high-profile relationship.
