Erin Andrews hopes Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will be endgame — and she’s taking “credit” for setting up everyone’s favorite new couple.
Andrews, 45, appeared on the Monday, October 16, episode of Late Night With Seth Meyers and joked about getting the ball rolling for Kelce, 34, on her “Calm Down” podcast back in August. “Travis was very open about not getting to meet her,” Andrews said on Monday, referring to Kelce’s Eras Tour recap on his own “New Heights” podcast in July. “And so we were just being really candid because we love him. We’re good friends of his. And we just were like, ‘Taylor, date this guy.’”
Seth Meyers gave Andrews and her cohost, Charissa Thompson, “credit where credit’s due” for pitching Kelce to Swift, 33, before the twosome were first spotted together in Kansas City in September. Andrews playfully hinted at wanting to be involved in all of the pair’s potential milestones.
“Of course, we’re getting all the credit now … We hope to officiate the wedding,” she quipped. “We hope to be there when he proposes, all the things.”
