Erin Andrews knows all too well how enchanting Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are as a couple.

Because the Fox Sports NFL reporter was there—for the couple’s getaway to Montana this past March, that is—and she knows it was a rare experience.

But for those looking to fill the blank spaces in the pair’s two-year love story, Andrews would suggest huddling up with a recording of Swift’s Aug. 13 appearance on her fiancé and brother Jason Kelce‘s New Heights podcast.

“That’s what was so cool about everyone getting to see them on the podcast together,” the longtime broadcaster explained in an exclusive interview with E! News’ Francesca Amiker. She, husband Jarret Stoll, best friend Charissa Thompson and her boyfriend Steven Cundari “loved” the record-breaking chat, Andrews continued, “because that’s what we get to see with them together—the way they interact, how cute, funny, witty they both are, how they’re sarcastic.”

When the couple—who announced their engagement as August sipped away like a bottle of wine—took the field, so to speak, “I feel like everything was really on display there,” Andrews noted. “And that’s what I thought was so special and really cool that she gave others an invitation to see that.”

The former Dancing With the Stars cohost also applauded the 14-time Grammy winner’s game plan for her upcoming album The Life of a Showgirl.

“She looks ridiculous and amazing—ridiculously amazing—on her album cover,” Andrews said. “And, oh gosh, I’m very excited for October 3.”

As for the life of a sideline reporter, Andrews is tackling a new role in addition to her longtime gig at Fox Sports.

Admittedly a bit “neurotic” following her 2017 battle with cervical cancer, not only does she stay on top of medical appointments for Stoll and their 2-year-old son Mack, “I tell my friends, ‘Go get that looked at. I’ve got a doctor for you. Go get that tested.’”

And now she’s expanding that roster, teaming with insurance provider Aflac for their Check for Cancer movement.

“They really want to increase early cancer screenings in the U.S. by 10 percent in the next decade,” Andrews explained of the company, which is donating up to $1 million for childhood cancer care and research for each person who posts a snap of their check-up.

Because keeping on top of those crucial appointments is a key play, swears Andrews.

“I was really on top of my health,” she explained of sticking to her annual check-ups, “and because of that, yeah, I did get bad news, but it was in early stages. We were able to treat it.”

Andrews can still recall that meeting with her oncologist ahead of her second cancer-related surgery.

“I told him, ‘It’s fourth and four and you’re Tom Brady. And I need you to get this s–t out of me,’” she recounted. “And he did, so it was amazing.”

Which means she gets to take the field with the actual football G.O.A.T. and play-by-play sportscaster Kevin Burkhardt every weekend this fall, starting with the Washington Commanders taking on the New York Giants Sept. 7.

“Look, the NFL is a 24-hour news cycle,” Andrews gushed of her dream gig. “It’s the best reality show out there. It’s so much fun. We get to cover the best athletes in all of the world.”

That includes Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, of course, and a few other boys on the football team. Before you tune in to see the guy on the Chiefs attempt to bring home another trophy, get to know the other key players and their IRL costars.

If Hailee Steinfeld likes a man with true grit, she could’ve done worse than marrying the Bills’ three-time Pro Bowl selection.

After more than a year of unostentatious dating, Josh’s first appearance on Hailee’s Instagram featured the athlete taking a knee for a waterfront proposal.

“She makes everything easier, so I don’t really focus on the other stuff,” the newlywed told reporters in June. “That was the most important decision I’ll make in my life—and I made the right one.”

What’s better than winning a Super Bowl? Why, it’s winning three—and getting to make the requisite trips to Disneyland afterward with the love of your life.

“I was not prepared for this,” Brittany Mahomes told CBS News in July 2023 of the whirlwind of accolades and excitement that came with falling for QB1 at her high school in Whitehouse, Texas. “And at such a young age. We were in love and I loved him with all of my heart. But, you know, I didn’t expect it to skyrocket this soon, and us kind of just being thrown into the fire like this.”

Patrick proposed at Arrowhead Stadium on Sept. 1, 2020, the day the Chiefs were presented with their Super Bowl LIV rings, and they tied the knot March 12, 2022.

The athlete told CBS that being dad to daughter Sterling Skye, born Feb. 20, 2021, Patrick “Bronze” Lavone Mahomes III, born Nov. 28, 2022, gave him “a much better understanding of being present and enjoying” the game of football.

“When my kids grow up,” he explained, “I wanted them to see that dad wasn’t just gone just to be gone. I was gone doing something, to build, to be great. And so, whenever they get older, they can see how hard I worked.”

Brittany gave birth to daughter Golden Raye on Jan. 12, 2025, her name another nod to precious metal ahead of the Chiefs’ 10th straight trip to the postseason.
