In the ever-evolving intersection of sports and pop culture, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce continue to captivate audiences across the globe. The power couple, who went public with their relationship in September 2023, has now stunned veteran NFL broadcasters with an off-the-field moment that caught everyone by surprise — and left seasoned voices in awe.
A private escape goes public
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce recently shared a rare photo dump on Instagram, offering a glimpse into his private offseason vacation with none other than global pop icon Swift. But among the snowy snapshots, what truly caught fans — and media insiders — off guard was the presence of two familiar NFL voices: Fox sideline reporter Erin Andrews and Prime Video's Thursday Night Football host Charissa Thompson, accompanied by their significant others.
The surprising reveal prompted the two media veterans to finally speak about their low-key trip with Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift on their podcast Calm Down with Erin and Charissa. Until that moment, the broadcasters had kept their lips sealed — out of respect for the couple’s fiercely guarded privacy.
“She’s everything and more”
Once the images surfaced, Andrews and Thompson were glowing with admiration for Swift. Charissa Thompson didn’t mince words, calling the 14-time Grammy winner “everything and more,” while Erin Andrews described Swift as a “20 out of 20.”
"I'm not going to elaborate too much on it, other than saying (Swift's) a dream and I adore her and I'm so happy that they make each other happy," Thompson said on the podcast, her words underscoring the genuine bond that has grown between the broadcasters and the couple.
While neither host disclosed the exact location of their vacation, both emphasized how committed Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were to creating authentic memories away from the spotlight. As experienced journalists with years of covering high-profile athletes, Andrews and Thompson respected that boundary without hesitation.
Respecting the narrative
“Their lives are so public, so it was very important for Erin and I not to say anything,” Thompson explained. “Not because we don’t like to share stuff with you, but it’s important for us to let them dictate the narrative on things they do in their personal life.”
Still, the broadcast duo didn’t shy away from a little playful banter. Andrews jokingly called out Kelce for sharing the photo without a heads-up:
"You know, Travis, I'd really like some privacy," she quipped. "No photo approval on this end, what the hell my man? No joke, that's one of my favorite photos from the trip we all took together."
