Erin Andrews felt “like a little bit kid” upon learning Taylor Swift was in attendance for Sunday’s Chiefs game to support rumored beau Travis Kelce.
When reflecting on the day during Monday’s installment of her “Calm Down” podcast, which she co-hosts with Charissa Thompson, Andrews detailed how she got the confirmation from Kelce while on the sector before the sport along with her Fox NFL teammate Greg Olsen, who also appeared on the podcast’s episode.
“The entire sudden, Erin walked up and he or she’s like, ‘Guys, I just got a text from Z [their producer],’ and he or she’s like, ‘The word on the road is that Taylor Swift is here,’” Olsen, also a guest on the podcast. recalled.
The previous NFL tight end, 38, then told Kelce as he was warming up: “‘Travis, once you’re done with this whole football thing, Erin Andrews needs to talk to you.’”
Andrews, 45, then connected with Kelce, who had invited Swift to ascertain him out in motion at Arrowhead.
“He’s in the course of a drill, Greg screams, ‘Hey, Trav, EA needs you in a minute to speak about some non-football things,’” Andrews said.
“I am going and I consult with Travis, he confirms … and the three of us, great friends, Greg more so simply because they’ve the brotherhood and the Tight End U going for them, but Trav, great guy, all three of us, he goes, ‘Yeah, she’s going to be here but you didn’t hear that from me.’”
She then ran over to Kevin Burkhardt, Fox’s play-by-play announcer, to share the news.
“I run over to Greg and Kevin like a little bit kid, I’m like, ‘You guys! She’s here!’”
Andrews then detailed her animated response to seeing the shot of Swift within the box.
“When he [Rich Russo] finally got the shot, Greg, I don’t find out about you, but, when she finally sat within the seat I began screaming and talking back, ‘That’s her!’”
“Cause I saw the red lips and I used to be similar to a 15-year-old,” Andrews said. “It was so exciting.”
The longtime NFL sideline reporter also spoke to Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes about Swift in a post-game interview, with the two-time Super Bowl champ revealing he felt pressure to get Kelce the ball.
“I heard she was in the home… so I knew I needed to get the ball to Travis,” Mahomes said.
Shortly after the sport, video emerged of Kelce and Swift walking together through the hallways of the stadium.
They later ventured to a neighborhood Kansas City restaurant to maintain the post-game festivities going.
Swift and Kelce were first linked romantically earlier this month.
