Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are enjoying some well-deserved downtime together after an eventful year. With Swift wrapping up the latest leg of her Eras Tour and Kelce concluding his Super Bowl-winning season with the Kansas City Chiefs, the power couple is soaking up some quiet moments away from the public eye. However, they recently took a sweet trip down memory lane—revisiting the person who played a crucial role in the beginning of their relationship.

A special reunion with Erin Andrews, the friend who encouraged their relationship


According to Page Six, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce spent time with sports broadcaster Erin Andrews during a recent trip to Montana. For those who have followed their love story from the start, Andrews’ involvement might sound familiar. On August 3, 2023, Andrews and her Calm Down podcast co-host Charissa Thompson playfully encouraged Swift to give Kelce a chance after he publicly expressed his disappointment about missing an opportunity to meet her at one of her concerts.
Erin Andrews didn’t hold back in her appeal to the pop superstar, saying, “[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. Please try our friend, Travis. He is fantastic!”

Kelce, who had attempted (and failed) to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number at her Kansas City show in July 2023, didn’t get his chance that night. But thanks to Andrews’ enthusiastic matchmaking, fate had other plans.

Looking back on how Erin Andrews helped set them up in the first place


Fast forward to today, and Swift and Kelce have become one of the most talked-about couples in entertainment and sports. Their romance has captivated fans, with Swifties and NFL enthusiasts alike following their journey closely. While the couple remains relatively private about their relationship, their recent reunion with Andrews speaks volumes about the role she played in bringing them together.
During an October 2023 appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers, Andrews reflected on her unexpected role in their relationship, explaining, “Travis was very open about not getting to meet her, 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.’”
Describing Kelce as “good-looking” and “a great, great guy,” Andrews admitted she suggested the match for fun. Little did she know her words would help spark one of the biggest celebrity relationships in recent years.

Could Erin Andrews be at their wedding if they decide to tie the knot?


Now, as the couple continues to strengthen their bond, Andrews remains in their close circle. The Page Six report noted that Swift, Kelce, and Andrews were spotted enjoying an evening at the Auric Room at Lone Mountain Ranch, further proving their friendship remains strong.
A source even revealed that Kelce jokingly credits Andrews with making the relationship happen. “Erin is close friends with Taylor and Travis, and Travis even jokingly credits Erin with encouraging Taylor to date him,” the insider shared.

With their relationship going strong since September 2023 (though they’ve hinted at an earlier start), many fans have already begun speculating about a possible wedding in the future. If and when that happens, Andrews seems like a natural choice for a VIP guest—if not the wedding officiant herself. For now, Swift and Kelce continue to enjoy their love story, with the woman who helped bring them together cheering them on every step of the way.
