Erin Andrews Claims Credit For Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce Relationship
During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show, Erin and Charissa explained the situation to host Jimmy Fallon.
“[Travis] had mentioned on his podcast that he went to the [Eras tour] show, wanted to meet her afterwards, didn’t get the chance to,” Erin recalled, according to Life & Style.
“So, we just started talking about it on our podcast [“Calm Down”] saying, ‘Taylor, do this for America. Date him.’ I mean, the guy, he’s not ugly by any means. So, we’re like, ‘Taylor, go!’”

Charissa Thompson: It’s True! We Created Traylor!
Charissa agreed with the account, noting that she and Erin “were advocating early on.”
“And he was very sweet, and he commented, and he was like, ‘I owe you guys big time,’ so then, of course, everyone gives us credit,” she said, adding:
“We, you know, we’ll take the credit. But I just love both of them, and I’m so happy to see them happy.”

Fallon was quick to praise his guests for their role in bringing together two of the world’s most beloved celebs.
“As a country, we’re thanking our servicemen and women [on Memorial Day], but we really have to thank you for what you’ve done for all of us,” he joked, adding:
“You brought us Taylor and Travis, oh my God.”
So are Erin and Charissa actually responsible for the beginning of Taylor and Travis’ romance?
