Erin Andrews for the win. After using her podcast to publicly urge Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce to start dating — which the two eventually did, based on recent photos of them holding hands — the sports commentator has now opened up about her matchmaking success in a new interview with TODAY.
“I’m the new Bumble,” Andrews joked to hosts Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie on Tuesday (Oct. 17).
“I have left him alone, although I am going to bug him this week because I just want to check in,” she added, noting that Kelce never asked her to endorse him to Swift. “I know him obviously, better than her. He looks adorable.”
To recap, Andrews and her Calm Down podcast cohost Charissa Thompson served as wing-women for Kelce back in August. After hearing that the Kansas City tight end had tried unsuccessfully to give his phone number to Swift at an Eras Tour show, they implored the “Anti-Hero” musician to “please try our friend Travis, he is fantastic!”
“Take us up on this — go on a date with this guy,” Andrews had urged at the time. “Do it for America.”
Less than two months later, Swift made a surprise appearance at the Chiefs vs. Chicago Bears game at Arrowhead Stadium, where she was spotted cheering on Kelce alongside his mom, Donna, and leaving the stadium with the football star at her side after the game. And that Chiefs jacket the pop superstar has been spotted wearing? Andrews revealed on TODAY that she sent it to Swift. “I sent her the team apparel jacket and she wore it!” the sports commentator gushed. “I just sent it to her, and you never know if people will really wear it, and she showed up!”
Swift has now attended several games, and the pop star was most recently spotted with Kelce over the weekend, holding hands as they grabbed dinner in New York City.
The night before that, the two made their public debut as a couple. After they both made surprise cameos in Saturday Night Live‘s season 49 premiere episode, Swift and Kelce attended the afterparty together.
On TODAY, Andrews reacted to the hand-holding photos seen ’round the world. “He’s got a glow to him,” she said of Kelce. “That’s a glow up, girls. He looks fantastic.”
And while the world will probably never know what exactly motivated Swift to give Kelce a chance, the athlete himself saluted Andrews and Thompson earlier this month for their efforts in swaying the singer in his direction. “😂😂 You two are something else!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 I owe you big time!!” he commented on one of their Instagram posts.
“I’m a huge fan of his, work with him, he’s great,” Andrews added about Kelce on TODAY. “He sent Mack [Andrews’ newborn son] an adorable baby gift just out of the blue, so sweet, and I was just like, ‘Check, check and check.’”

The rumored new couple left NFL disciples and Swifties alike reeling after the “Anti-Hero” singer made a surprise appearance at the Sunday night (Sept. 24) Chiefs-Bears game at Arrowhead Stadium, where she was captured cheering Kelce on from a suite box alongside his mother, Donna Kelce. Fans have spent the hours since poring over footage of the pop star banging ecstatically on the glass and cheering after Kelce scored a touchdown in the third quarter, as well as photos and video of Swift leaving the stadium with Kelce at her side.
The fated gameday came months after Kelce first confessed to having a crush on Swift in July, admitting that he tried unsuccessfully to give her a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it at an Eras Tour concert that summer. From the jump, some Swifties were rooting for the American athlete to become the Grammy winner’s new love interest, especially as rumors broke out that the two had started seeing each other.
And after Sunday, it looks like most of the country is rooting for him as well. “Taylor Swift, dating an American footballer is literally like the declaration of independence,” joked one fan, touching on Swift’s breakups this year from Brits Joe Alwyn and Matty Healy. “free from the shackles of British colonialism! This is the moment.”
One fan tweeted, “if this sticks they will literally be the closest thing america has to a royal couple.”
“The chokehold that Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift has on me is INSANE,” wrote another.
Even NFL pros have been weighing in on the matter. After the game, Bill Belichick joked: “Travis Kelce has had a lot of big catches in his career — this would be the biggest.”
Patrick Mahomes too reflected on his touchdown pass to Kelce, saying he knew he “had to get [the ball]” to his teammate to help impress Swift. “I think he wanted to get in the end zone just as much as all the Swifties wanted him to,” added the quarterback.
Keep reading to see some of the best fan reactions to Taylor Swift’s appearance at Arrowhead Stadium — and her likelier-than-ever romance with Travis Kelce — below.

Millie Bobby Brown has ascended to global stardom as a character who has telepathic powers on Stranger Things. In real life she also seems to have a special sixth sense when it comes to love.
The 19-year-old actress told the Sunday Times that she was intrigued by future fiancé Jake Bongiovi, so she did what anyone her age would: she bombed through his Instagram. “I was interested in him and wanted to know more. As soon as we spoke I knew he was going to be a huge part of my life,” she said. “After we met we knew we never wanted to leave each other’s side.”
Brown and Bongiovi, 21 — the youngest of Bon Jovi singer Jon Bon Jovi‘s four children — appeared to confirm their engagement in April with a black and white post on Brown’s Insta that featured a clever Taylor Swift reference. “I’ve loved you for three summers now, honey, I want ’em all,” Millie wrote alongside the image of Jake hugging her from behind on a beach while she modeled what appeared to be a diamond ring on her ring finger. Jake’s version of the post featured the word “Forever” followed by a heart emoji; Brown and Bongiovi were first linked after they posted a selfie together in June 2021.
The actress told the paper that she quickly knew Jake was her forever person. “I ran to my mum and said, ‘I really, really like him!’ After we met we knew we never wanted to leave each other’s side,” she recalled. “You can’t pinpoint why, it’s just the feeling of knowing that that’s the person you want to spend the rest of your time with. I think so much of life is overthinking. The one thing that made clear sense to me was him.”
Speaking of that bling, Brown said Bongiovi used her mother’s ring in his proposal. “I’ve always loved that ring, it’s always stuck out to me, so she gave it to Jake,” she revealed. “They were in cahoots about the whole proposal. I love that I can always keep a piece of my mum with me.” Brown said her parents “adore” Jake, noting that they both come from families where their parents have been together for a long time; Jon Bon Jovi and wife Dorothea Hurley are high school sweethearts.
“My parents were young when they got together, so I always had amazing role models for relationships,” she said. “His family are wonderful people who welcomed me with open arms. I’m really grateful to be a part of their world.”
Brown said there is no set wedding date yet, but several designers have contacted her about making her a dress, though she insisted it’s “not about what I wear.” As of now, Brown said she’s not sure whether she’ll change her name to something like Millie Bobby Brown Bongiovi, or Brownovi, joking, “I definitely don’t think that’s it. We are having those conversations [though] and they are important to me.”
