The budding romance between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce has been the word on everyoneâs lips over the past few weeks. The duo even made separate cameos on the season premiere of Saturday Night Live last week to cement their it-couple status.
Now it turns out we may have a certain sportscaster to thank for making this unexpected pairing.
During an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers on Monday night, Fox Sportsâ Erin Andrews joked about setting up the Grammy winner with the Kansas City Chief tight end through her podcast, Calm Down. On the Aug. 3 episodeâa month before Swift was first seen cheering on Kelce at a Chiefs gameâshe and her co-host Charissa Thompson suggested that the two should date.
âTaylor, I donât know what youâre doing in your life right now besides rocking the world,â Andrews said at the time. âPlease, try our friend Travis. He is fantastic.â
Apparently, Kelce had been trying to get in touch with the âCruel Summerâ singer. âTravis was very open about not getting to meet her, and so we were just being really candid because we love him,â she told Meyers. âWeâre good friends of his. And we just were like, âTaylor, date this guy.ââ
âHeâs just such a great, great guy,â Andrews went on. âAnd we just threw it out there. They got together. Of course, weâre getting all the credit now on the Calm Down podcast.
Andrews joked that she and Thompson hope to âofficiate the weddingâ and âbe there when he proposes.â The TV personality also gushed about Swift sporting a jacket from her sports apparel line, WEAR by Erin Andrews, during a Chiefs vs. Denver Broncos game on Oct. 12.
âI started screaming and freaking out and singing all my favorite Swiftie songs,â Andrews said. âAnd then we restocked and sold out.â
Knowing Swiftâs penchant for Easter Eggs this was probably not a coincidence. Weâll have to see if Andrews gets an invite to one of her famous New York dinners.
