Erin Andrews recently received some recognition for pairing her “amazing” boyfriend Travis Kelce with multiple Grammy winner Taylor Swift.
And the longtime NFL sideline reporter, 45, noticed that the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, is doing better than ever since dating Swift, 33.
“He’s really glowing. “He looks great,” she told The Messenger on Tuesday.
The new romance began in September, months after Kelce said he tried to give her his number when she brought her Eras Tour to Missouri in July.
To her fans’ surprise, Swift decided to give the NFL star a chance and since then the two have been spotted on several dates and she supported him at his games.

Erin told the outlet that it was “so cool” to watch the couple’s relationship blossom publicly and believes it has led to more girls becoming interested in soccer.
“These two little girls saw her and were jumping up and down and waving at her, and she blew them a kiss,” Erin recalled of Swift’s participation in one of Kelce’s more recent games.
She added, “And I was like, ‘Come on!’ This is so beautiful, you know?’
Erin then revealed that she had actually met Swift and praised the superstar for her down-to-earth personality.
“I’ve met Taylor before and was blown away by how sweet she was, how great she is with her fans and how much fun she has.” “I think it’s so cool,” she gushed, adding, “I I think it’s great for our sport.”
Erin then remembered texting Kelce to express her approval and let him know how happy she was for him.
“I texted him and said, ‘You know I love you and I’m glad you’re having fun.’ He’s just a great guy, and that’s why we were so open and said, ‘Hey, Taylor, go on a date with our friend,” she said.
Over the summer, Erin and her “Calm Down” podcast co-host Charissa Thompson pleaded with Swift on their show to give her “amazing” friend Kelce a chance.

“He’s just awesome.” “He’s just as cool as he is on TV – he’s the same in real life,” Erin continued.
“You’re attracted to people like that and yeah.” He’s fun to be with and he’s the best.
Speaking on the TODAY show on Tuesday, Andrews joked that she was the “new Bumble” who (maybe) brought the couple together.
She reiterated that Kelce looked “adorable” and had something “shiny” about him in his new romance.
When asked if she knew any details about Swift and Kelce’s budding relationship, Andrews said she “left him alone.” Although I’m going to bug him this week because I just want to check in.’
Back in August, Andrews and Thompson fought for their then-single friend Kelce on their podcast.
‘[Taylor] “I know we’re not best friends, we’re not even friends, but I consider you one,” Andrews said on the August 3 podcast. “Make us aware of this. Go on a date with this guy.’
Thompson told Swift to “do it for herself,” but also for the two podcast hosts and the public: “There’s no one who would give you a better time than this guy.”

And the pair were spotted walking hand in hand in New York City over the weekend

Kelce responded to the reposted clip on social media, writing, “You two are something else!! I owe you a lot of time!!’
Not only did Swift travel to Kansas City twice (and once to New York) to see Kelce play, she even wore an Andrews WEAR brand windbreaker.
The jacket that Andrews allegedly sent to Swift costs $112 and has unsurprisingly since sold out.
The 33-year-old pop star and the 34-year-old football player from Kansas City strolled holding hands around Catch NYC – a glamorous steakhouse frequented by celebrities including David Beckham and the Jenners – around 2:20 a.m. early Sunday.
The couple also attended the SNL season premiere afterparty earlier in the night.
