Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson of the “Calm Down” podcast have jokingly taken credit for setting up America’s favorite couple, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.

It seems that the sports commentators enjoy jokingly taking credit for the successful relationship that they feel partially responsible for, despite acknowledging that they were not actual friends with the couple.
Since publicly dating Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift has been spotted wearing items from Erin Andrews’ NFL-inspired apparel line. Swift was seen wearing a Chiefs windbreaker from the WEAR by Erin Andrews line at a game between Kelce’s team and the Denver Broncos, as well as a Chiefs bomber jacket at the Super Bowl. Andrews expressed her excitement at seeing Swift wear her designs and mentioned losing her mind when the singer wore the apparel to the Super Bowl. It appears that the relationship between the couples has extended beyond just dating, into the fashion sphere as well.
