Erin Andrews is over the moon to watch Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s love story blossom!

Last year, the sports commentator was one of the first people who encouraged the Grammy winner to go out with the Kansas City Chiefs star, something she and podcast co-host Charissa Thompson discussed while on the Thursday, May 23, episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

When Jimmy Fallon, 49, noted that the ladies “predicted” their romance, Andrews jokingly exclaimed, “Yes, Jimmy, we are responsible!”

“He had mentioned on his podcast that he went to the show, wanted to meet her afterwards, didn’t get the chance to, so we just started talking about it on our podcast saying, ‘Taylor, do this for America! Date him!'” the mom-of-one explained, noting she’s “friends” with the athlete.

The “Calm Down With Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson” co-hosts listed a few reasons they think Kelce would be a great catch, quipping “he’s not ugly” and complimenting his performance when he hosted Saturday Night Live.

“We were advocating early on,” Andrews pointed out. “And he was very sweet and he commented [on an Instagram post about their encouragement] and he was like, ‘I owe you guys big time.'”

“So then of course, everyone gives us credit. We’ll take the credit,” she declared, “but I just love both of them, and I’m so happy to see them happy.”

The former Dancing With the Stars co-host isn’t the only person who thinks they helped bring the NFL superstar and Swift, both 34, together, as his teammate Patrick Mahomes recently claimed he was also playing cupid.
