Erin Andrews has “intel” on how NFL wives and girlfriends feel about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s romance.
While covering the Philadelphia Eagles-San Francisco 49ers game on Sunday, the lead sideline reporter for Fox NFL Sunday shared on her Calm Down podcast with co-host Charissa Thompson that she also picked up some behind-the-scenes opinions about the relationship between the music superstar and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end.
“Somebody asked in front of me what the gals on their team thought [about Taylor and Travis] and they were like, ‘Love it, adorable,’” Andrews, 45, said, adding they weren’t Eagles or 49ers “WAGs.” “And they were like, ‘You know why? Because that’s a man, and she’s with him.’ ”
Andrews continued, “Here’s a good take from an NFL WAG which I loved. “She said … for the first time publicly it seems like she’s with a guy that’s not like ‘Oh yeah, I’m with Taylor, don’t take my picture. I’m at the concert.’ ”
The new mom added about Swift and Kelce, “I’m into it all.”
She should be — the WEAR by EA founder and her fellow NFL broadcaster, 41, revealed in August on their podcast that they have played a role in the relationship from the start.

“Taylor, I don’t know what you are doing in your life right now besides rocking the world,” Andrews said at the time, floating the idea of the love connection. “Please try our friend Travis. He is fantastic.”
She added, “This is one Taylor, I know we’re not the best of friends, we’re not even friends, but I consider you one. Take us up on this. Go on a date with this guy. Do it for America.”

Thompson then agreed. “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.”
In October just weeks after Swift, 33, attended her first Chiefs game in support of Kelce, the athlete acknowledged Andrews’ and Thompson’s role in bringing them together.
“😂😂 You two are something else!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻” the 34-year-old wrote on Instagram after the duo reposted the clip from months before. “I owe you big time!!”
For Swift’s part, she’s seemingly relishing both her relationship with Kelce and her introduction to his sport.
In an interview alongside her reveal for Time’s 2023 Person of the Year on Wednesday, she joked: “Football is awesome, it turns out. I’ve been missing out my whole life.”
