Erin Andrews is calling it: Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's love story is going way beyond any football stadium.
"I want them to get married so bad," the FOX Sports commentator recently told E! News in an exclusive interview. "I love, love. I love him. He's amazing."
She's also a big fan of the Grammy winner. "I'm fully obsessed with her and what she's done in her life," Erin added, "how she makes me feel as a woman."
Taylor and Travis, both 34, confirmed their romance at the beginning of the NFL season when she attended a Sept. 24 Chiefs game with his mom, Donna Kelce. Days later, Travis gave Erin and her Calm Down podcast co-host Charissa Thompson credit for encouraging Taylor to give him a shot, writing to the duo on Instagram Oct. 2, "I owe you big time!!"
The following week, the "Blank Space" singer also gave Erin a nod by sporting a jacket from her WEAR line to an Oct. 12 Chiefs game.
"I'm so pumped how happy she's made Travis," the Enfamil partner said. "Their support for each other is adorable."
That support includes Taylor's 13 appearances at Chiefs games this season, including the team's Super Bowl win in February, as well as Travis' trips to her Eras Tour concerts in Argentina, Australia and Singapore.
Travis himself also offered insight into his recent reunion with Taylor.
"Fun times in Singapore," he said on the March 13 episode of the New Heights podcast. "I got to see two amazing shows of the Eras Tour. The last of the leg that Taylor has until she's back at it here in a couple months. Outside of that, got to eat some lovely Singapore food and just catch the views. Everything over there just seems so nice."
And now that Travis is in his off-season and Taylor is on a break from her history-making tour, they're enjoying some quality time together away from the spotlight.
"I hope they enjoy the hell out of it," Erin added. "They are just absolutely adorable."
Keep reading to revisit Taylor and Travis' love story from the beginning, when the tight end called out the singer on his podcast...
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's love story began in July 2023, when the singer's Eras Tour made a stop at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.
As a huge Swiftie, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end caught the show with hopes of giving Taylor a friendship bracelet with his number on it. However, he failed to complete the pass due to her pre-show rituals.
"I was disappointed that she doesn't talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings," Travis shared on the July 26 episode of his New Heights podcast. "So, I was a little butt-hurt I didn't get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her."
After publicly recounting his fumble—a move Taylor would later describe as "metal as hell"—Travis decided to shoot his shot and invite the Grammy winner to watch the Chiefs play at Arrowhead Stadium.
"I threw it out there, I threw the ball in her court," he shared on The Pat McAfee Show. "I told her, you know, 'I've seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead, you might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead and see which one's a little more lit.' So, we'll see what happens in the near future."
Travis was rocking a mustache—which he debuted in August during training camp—when he was first introduced to Taylor.
As he later noted of the era, "That 'stache and the 87 jersey was pretty iconic there for a little bit, and I had it when I met Taylor for the first time."
By early September, a source close to the situation told E! News that Travis and Taylor were "texting and talking here and there."
"It's been very low-key," the insider explained, "as he's been in season."
Accepting Travis' invite, Taylor joined the athlete's mom Donna Kelce at Arrowhead Stadium to watch him and the Chiefs take on the Chicago Bears. After the game, Taylor and Travis were seen packing PDA at a local bar.
Though folklore had it that it was the couple's first in-person meeting, the "Karma" singer later clarified the two had spent a "significant amount of time" getting to know each other beforehand.
As Taylor noted, "We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date."
As an indication that the relationship was heating up, Taylor brought her squad—including friends Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Sophie Turner, Hugh Jackman, Sabrina Carpenter and Antoni Porowski—to watch the Chiefs play against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
Another sign that Travis could be The 1? Taylor started bonding with Brittany Mahomes—the wife of Travis' BFF and teammate Patrick Mahomes—in and outside of NFL games.
The couple took their romance to TV, making a surprise appearance on the Oct. 14 episode of Saturday Night Live. Their Big Apple takeover also included the after-party for the NBC sketch show and a date night at the Waverly Inn.
During a bye week, Travis traveled down to Argentina to catch the South American leg of Taylor's Eras Tour. Not only did the NFL star bond with Taylor's dad, Scott Swift, at the Nov. 11 show in Buenos Aires, but he also got a special shoutout from the stage.
"Karma is that guy on the Chiefs," Taylor sang, "coming straight home to me."
After the show, the Midnights artist was seen running up to Travis backstage and greeting him with a passionate kiss.
Taylor addressed the lavender craze surrounding her appearances at Travis' games.
"I'm going to see him do what he loves, we're showing up for each other, other people are there and we don't care," she told Time. "The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you're seeing someone."
The music superstar turned Travis' Dec. 17 game into a family affair, bringing her dad to cheer on her man.
Taylor and Travis spent their first New Year's Eve together, sharing a romantic kiss when the clock struck midnight on Jan. 1.
Continuing to bond with Travis' family, Taylor hung out with his brother Jason Kelce and sister-in-law Kylie Kelce at the Chiefs' game against the Buffalo Bills.
Taylor joined Travis on the football field when the Chiefs won the AFC Championship, a victory that cemented the team's spot in the 2024 Super Bowl. The couple shared a celebratory kiss before exchanging the L-word.
"Tay, I'm gonna enjoy with the guys," he told her. "I love you—so much it's not funny."
The pair locked lips on the field after Travis led the Kansas City Chiefs to victory on Feb. 11, 2024 in Las Vegas.
Taylor posted footage of Travis on social media for the first time Feb. 12, poking fun at how she took her parents clubbing with the athlete after the Super Bowl.
