Travis Kelce Says He Owes These Women ‘Big Time’ for Urging Taylor Swift to Date Him
Written by djfrosty on October 3, 2023
Travis Kelce may have scored big with Taylor Swift, his rumored love interest, but he’s making sure to give credit to a couple of female sports commentators who might have helped him win her over.
Back before the Kansas City Chiefs tight end was all over the news due to speculation he’s dating Swift, their rumored romance began with Kelce simply saying that he had a crush on her — and even tried unsuccessfully to give her his number at an Eras Tour concert — on his New Heights podcast with brother Jason Kelce. Soon after, FOX Sports commentators Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson took to their own podcast, Calm Down, to put in a good word for Travis and convince Swift to give him a chance.
And now that the pop star and NFL star have been spotted together, Travis made sure to thank Andrews and Thompson. “😂😂 You two are something else!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 I owe you big time!!” he commented on a Sunday (Oct. 1) Instagram post from Thompson, who’d re-shared their Aug. 3 podcast clip.
“@killatrav we do what we can. This is what we’re here for! 😘” responded Andrews and Thompson via their official Calm Down account.
Back in August, the two women had used their show to send a message to the “Anti-Hero” singer. “Taylor, I don’t know what you’re doing in your life right now besides rocking the world … please try our friend Travis, he is fantastic!” Andrews had said at the time. “Take us up on this — go on a date with this guy. Do it for America.”
Less than two months later, Swift showed up at the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Chicago Bears game at Arrowhead Stadium, cheering on Kelce alongside his mom, Donna, and leaving the stadium with the tight end at her side after the game ended. A week after that, she was in attendance at MetLife Stadium for Kansas City’s away game against the New York Jets, occupying a box suite with a fleet of famous friends including Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Hugh Jackman, Sophie Turner and more.
