Erin Andrews, Charissa Thompson party with Travis Kelce at Taylor Swift London show
Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson lived their best lives in London.
The Fox Sports personalities and BFFs enjoyed the VIP treatment at Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour” concert at Wembley Stadium on Saturday.
Andrews and Thompson — who often joke they played matchmaker to Swift and her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce after they suggested the pair should date before they got together last summer — took in the concert from the VIP tent, where they danced and partied with the Kelce family, as seen in photos the “Calm Down” podcast hosts shared on social media.
Andrews and Thompson attended the concert with their significant others, former two-time Stanley Cup champion Jarret Stoll and entrepreneur Steven Cundari, respectively.
“London + Taylor = best time,” Thompson wrote on her Instagram Story, including a photo of the couple with Kelce and his sister-in-law Kylie Kelce, the wife of former Eagles center Jason Kelce.
Jason — who announced his NFL retirement in March and signed a broadcast deal with ESPN last month — was seen wearing a bunch of friendship bracelets, which are a staple at Swift’s concerts.
Tom Cruise, Liam Hemsworth, Hugh Grant, Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis, and Greta Gerwig attended the Swift’s Saturday show at Wembley.
The group, including Kelce, was seen dancing and singing along to Swift’s mega hit “Shake It Off” while in the VIP tent.
“We. Made. It.,” Andrews wrote on her Instagram Story, including a video of her and Thompson jumping up and down dancing to Swift, whom she called “queen.”
The pair — who are diehard Swift fans — previously shared on their “Calm Down” podcast that they were trying to figure out when they could attend one of the stops on the singer’s “Eras Tour.”
Andrews and Thompson discussed their journey to London in recent episodes, but did not share if they had any plans to meet up with Kelce.
The two have been open about their friendship with Kelce.
Last August, Andrews and Thompson encouraged the “Down Bad” singer to give Kelce a shot during an installment of their “Calm Down” podcast.
“Hey Taylor, date Travis Kelce! He’s so fabulous! Do it for America!” Andrews said at the time.
It came shortly after Kelce explained on his “New Heights” podcast that he tried to meet Swift and give her a friendship bracelet when he attended her concert last July, but his plan didn’t work out.
Andrews and Thompson discussed the whirlwind romance during an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” last month and joked about “taking the credit” playing matchmaker.
Thompson explained that she and Andrews “were advocating early on” for Swift and Kelce, who “was very sweet and he commented [last summer] and he was like, ‘I owe you guys big time,’ so then, of course, everyone gives us credit.”
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes also said he’d like to “take some of the credit” for Swift and Kelce getting together during a separate appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” while he was OTAs.
