Perfect Match: Erin Andrews Shares Thoughts on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce
Five months after Travis Kelce credited Erin Andrews for assisting in his romance with Taylor Swift, the NFL reporter weighed in on the couple’s future together during an exclusive interview with E!.
Erin Andrews is calling it: Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift‘s love story is going way beyond any football stadium.
“I want them to get married so bad,” the FOX Sports commentator recently told E! News in an exclusive interview. “I love, love. I love him. He’s amazing.”
She’s also a big fan of the Grammy winner. “I’m fully obsessed with her and what she’s done in her life,” Erin added, “how she makes me feel as a woman.”
Taylor and Travis, both 34, confirmed their romance at the beginning of the NFL season when she attended a Sept. 24 Chiefs game with his mom, Donna Kelce. Days later, Travis gave Erin and her Calm Down podcast co-host Charissa Thompson credit for encouraging Taylor to give him a shot, writing to the duo on Instagram Oct. 2, “I owe you big time!!”
The following week, the “Blank Space” singer also gave Erin a nod by sporting a jacket from her WEAR line to an Oct. 12 Chiefs game.
“I’m so pumped how happy she’s made Travis,” the Enfamil partner said. “Their support for each other is adorable.”
That support includes Taylor’s 13 appearances at Chiefs games this season, including the team’s Super Bowl win in February, as well as Travis’ trips to her Eras Tour concerts in Argentina, Australia and Singapore.

Travis himself also offered insight into his recent reunion with Taylor.
“Fun times in Singapore,” he said on the March 13 episode of the New Heights podcast. “I got to see two amazing shows of the Eras Tour. The last of the leg that Taylor has until she’s back at it here in a couple months. Outside of that, got to eat some lovely Singapore food and just catch the views. Everything over there just seems so nice.”
And now that Travis is in his off-season and Taylor is on a break from her history-making tour, they’re enjoying some quality time together away from the spotlight.
“I hope they enjoy the hell out of it,” Erin added. “They are just absolutely adorable.”

July 2023: So, Make the Friendship Bracelets
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s love story began in July 2023, when the singer’s Eras Tour made a stop at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.
As a huge Swiftie, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end caught the show with hopes of giving Taylor a friendship bracelet with his number on it. However, he failed to complete the pass due to her pre-show rituals.
“I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” Travis shared on the July 26 episode of his New Heights podcast. “So, I was a little butt-hurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.”

“I threw it out there, I threw the ball in her court,” he shared on The Pat McAfee Show. “I told her, you know, ‘I’ve seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead, you might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead and see which one’s a little more lit.’ So, we’ll see what happens in the near future.”
