Call sports commentators Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson modern-day cupids as the two credit themselves with bringing Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift together. In an August episode of their “Calm Down” podcast, they encouraged Swift to consider taking a chance on their good pal Kelce.
“Taylor, I don’t know what you are doing in your life right now besides rocking the world. Please try our friend Travis. He is fantastic,” Andrews said. “Take us up on this, go on a date with this guy. Do it for America.” Thompson reiterated Andrews’ plea, saying: “Do it for yourself, do it for us, and do it for the people. Because there is no one that would give you a better time than this guy.” Now, it’s unclear if Swift actually managed to give the podcast a listen, but Kelce took to Instagram to thank the co-hosts for their efforts. “You two are something else!!” he wrote. “I owe you big time!!”

Of course, Andrews takes pride in contributing to bringing together a superstar and a famous athlete, joking on “Today” that she was “the new Bumble” and clarified they did it on their own accord, with Kelce having zero involvement in it whatsoever. But she has no regrets at all, telling The Messenger that Swift seems to have a positive impact on her friend. “He’s having a real glow-up. He looks great,” she said.
