Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce put their love for each other on full display!
Erin Andrews shared her observations of the newly-engaged couple when speaking on her iHeartRadio podcast, Calm Down, opposite her cohost Charissa Thompson, in an episode released on Thursday, Aug. 21.
“When they’re around each other, they’re always kissing. They’re always touching. You saw it on the podcast,” said Andrews, 47, of the couple, while discussing the pop superstar’s appearance on Kelce’s New Heights podcast.
“After hanging out with them, we’re like, ‘Wait! We’re not making out as much as we should’!” the sports broadcaster added with a laugh.

Swift, who announced her engagement to Kelce on Aug. 26 in joint post on Instagram, made her podcast debut opposite Kelce and his brother Jason in a New Heights episode released on Aug. 13.
Throughout the podcast’s two hour-plus duration, the 14x-Grammy winner and 3x-Super Bowl champion engaged in lovey PDA as they recounted details of their relationship timeline. They were seen leaning into each other, holding hands and sweetly smiling from star to finish.
“Taylor and Travis… are obsessed with each other,” Thompson, 43, added of the couple, who first sparked romance rumors in September 2023 and confirmed their relationship one month later when they stepped out holding hands at a Saturday Night Live afterparty.
“Every time I leave them, I look at Steven and go, ‘You need to love me more’,” she joked of her partner Steven Cundari, a marketing executive and co-founder of the creative agency Summit House.

Of what her boyfriend tells her, Thompson joked, “And he’s like, ‘You need to love me more!’ ”
Andrews considers Swift and Kelce’s outward display of affection for each other “a good reminder” for couples, especially her own relationship where they often have a “let’s go, let’s go, let’s go” mentality.
“We love our people, but they’re magnets with each other,” Thompson added of Swift and Kelce.
This wasn’t the first time Andrews has commented on the power couple, who made their first public appearance together since the engagement at the Cincinnati Bearcats and the Nebraska Cornhuskers game on Thursday, Aug. 29.

In fact, Andrews and Thompson both went on a vacation with the couple — as seen in a now-infamous carousel of photos shared by Kelce where he went Instagram-official with Swift.
In one of the pictures from his offseason exploits, the couple posed with Thompson and Andrews, along with their husbands, during a snowy trip to Montana — so inevitably, a listener asked all about it during the episode shared on July 28.
Thompson excitedly told her listeners that Swift is “everything I’d ever hoped and dreamed that she could have been and more.”
Andrews added that she and Thompson are both “protective of” Kelce and Swift.
“We’re so protective of them and their privacy and what they deserve,” she shared, explaining, “So that’s why we never said anything or planned on saying anything.”
