Erin Andrews gets candid about her hookup skills.
The NFL broadcaster, 45, opened up on Late Night with Seth Meyers about her role in helping Travis Kelce, 34, and Taylor Swift, 33, hook up — which happened after she proposed the idea of them dating her Take it easy with Erin and Charissa podcast.
“Travis was very open about not meeting her. And so we were just really honest because we love him. We’re good friends of his and we were just like, ‘Taylor, date this guy. I mean, it looks good,’ Andrews told Seth Meyers.
“He’s just such a great, great guy. And so we put it out there and they teamed up. Of course, now we get all the credit,” she added.
Travis Kelce says he ‘owes’ Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson after they told Taylor Swift she was dating him
On an episode of their podcast in August, Andrews and Charissa Thompson asked Swift to “please try our friend Travis. He’s fantastic.” Andrews said: “This is one Taylor, I know we’re not best friends, we’re not even friends, but I consider you one. Tell us this. Go on a date with this guy. Do it for America.”
Kelce even thanked them in an October tweet for whatever role they played in making the match. In response to the clip on Instagram, the 33-year-old wrote on Sunday: “😂😂 You two are something else!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 I owe you a lot!!”
“We’re hoping to officiate the wedding,” Andrews teased Meyers. “We hope to be there when he proposes, all of that.”

“If you have something and she puts it on … I mean if you own a Kleenix company and she wipes it — it’s like oh my God. Yes, this was a big moment,” she said.
“As soon as she put it on, I saw it,” she continued. “I started screaming and sizzling and singing all my favorite Swiftie songs. And then yes, we restocked and sold out. And thank you, thank you Taylor Swift.”
She said they were able to restock the jackets on fanatics.com again and even joked with Meyers about his wife signing to wear some of her Philadelphia-designed garments.

Swift and Kelce bonded over the NFL tight end and expressed regret on their podcast New heights with Jason and Travis Kelce about not being able to give Swift a friendship bracelet with my number on it. Swift has since attended several Chiefs games and the pair have been photographed together several times.
“Taylor is different from anyone Travis has dated before,” a source told PEOPLE earlier this month. “It was very unexpected for his friends, but he is very much in love with her and very, very happy.”
