Erin Andrews is hoping that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will become a lasting couple, and she jokingly takes credit for their connection. Andrews, who is 45 years old, appeared on Late Night With Seth Meyers on Monday, October 16, and spoke about how she played a part in setting up the new couple. In her "Calm Down" podcast back in August, Andrews mentioned that Kelce, who is 34 years old, had expressed his desire to meet Swift on his "New Heights" podcast in July. Andrews, being friends with Kelce, openly suggested to Swift that she should date him.
Seth Meyers acknowledged Andrews and her cohost, Charissa Thompson, for introducing Kelce to Swift before they were seen together in Kansas City in September. Andrews playfully expressed her desire to be a part of all the couple's significant moments.
"We're definitely getting the recognition now... We'd love to officiate their wedding," she joked. "We hope to witness the proposal and all the other special occasions."
Andrews gushed over “good looking” Kelce, calling him “such a great, great guy.”
Taylor Swift has shown her support for Travis Kelce by attending three Kansas City Chiefs games since September 24. She was last seen cheering him on at Arrowhead Stadium on Thursday, October 12, wearing a jacket from Andrews’ sportswear line.
"On a late-night show, Andrews playfully hinted at the significance of a moment where, if you are the owner of a Kleenex company and she uses your product to wipe her nose, it becomes a big deal. Swift and Kelce have a strong support system with many close friends who believe that they are a great match and are genuinely fond of each other, even though their relationship is still in its early stages."
According to an insider, Swift and Kelce both desire to spend time together whenever possible and they both have a good understanding of each other's busy schedules.
Over the weekend in New York City, the two made quite an impression by unexpectedly appearing on the season 49 premiere of Saturday Night Live. Afterwards, they were seen holding hands while heading to an afterparty. Adding to their romantic outings, Swift and Kelce went for a delightful dinner in downtown Manhattan on Sunday, October 15.

Swift has chosen to remain silent about her situation with Kelce. However, Kelce did address their relationship on his podcast in September. He admitted that he was responsible for drawing attention to himself with the friendship bracelet incident and expressing his disappointment about not meeting Taylor at the Eras Tour. Kelce also stated that he wanted to honor and maintain his connection with Swift. Although he expressed his happiness with his current life, Kelce acknowledged that he will focus more on sports moving forward and keep his personal life private.
Despite Kelce's preference for privacy, other celebrities have not hesitated to comment. On the October 17 episode of the Today show, Andrews playfully discussed her involvement in their relationship.
"I'm like the new Bumble," she jokingly remarked. "I've given him space, but I plan to reach out this week just to see how he's doing. ... He's got this amazing radiance. Talk about a transformation, ladies. He looks absolutely incredible."
