Oct. 12 was a fairytale for Fox Sports NFL reporter Erin Andrews.
And it’s all thanks to Taylor Swift.
The 12-time Grammy Award winner continues to shock fans with surprise attendance at Kansas City Chiefs games (including Sunday against the Chargers) to support rumored boyfriend Travis Kelce, and her style hasn’t gone unnoticed.
When Swift was spotted at the Chiefs’ game in Week 6, she showed up to Arrowhead Stadium sporting a Kansas City “WEAR by Erin Andrews” windbreaker.
“I sent her a WEAR apparel jacket and she wore it!” Andrews boasted Tuesday on the “TODAY” show.
Swift wore the gifted Chiefs windbreaker over a black tank top with gold accessories to the Chiefs suite to watch Kelce and Co. beat the Denver Broncos, 19-8, on “Thursday Night Football.”
“You never know if people will really wear it … and she showed up,” Andrews continued.
Andrews apparently had “no idea” that Swift would be going to the game.
“I wasn’t even thinking about it,” she said to co-host Charissa Thompson on Friday’s episode of the “Calm Down With Erin and Charissa” podcast.
“I was more excited that she was coming because it was your game,” Andrews said to Thompson, who works on “Thursday Night Football” for Amazon Prime. “We have a friendship with Travis [Kelce]. I was excited about all that. Like, maybe you go have a chicken finger with ketchup and ranch with her because let’s be honest, you and I are waiting for our suite invite even though we can’t ever go.”
Taylor Swift’s gameday apparel has been at the forefront of NFL broadcasts for the past few weeks, and Swifties are paying close attention.
Kelce saw a 400 percent increase in merchandise sales since the dating rumors began, and his jersey became a top-five selling jersey in the NFL.
Since Swift’s appearance on the 12th, the WEAR by Erin Andrews jacket has completely sold out.
“These Swifties are serious, you guys,” Andrews said to co-hosts Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie on the “TODAY” show.
Since then, the jacket has been restocked “for a limited time” but is expected to sell out again quickly.
The wear might just be Andrews’ karma for encouraging Swift to take a chance on her “friend” Travis Kelce.
Andrews feels she had a significant role in the budding romance between Swift and Kelce, referring to herself as “the new Bumble.”
On their podcast, Andrews and Thompson begged Swift to give “their friend Travis” a chance.
“Taylor, I don’t know what you are doing in your life right now besides rocking the world,” Andrews said on the podcast.
“Please try our friend Travis. He is fantastic … Take us up on this. Go on a date with this guy. Do it for America.”
A few weeks later, Kelce thanked Andrews and Thompson for their help in securing his first date with Swift.
“You two are something else!!” Kelce, 33, commented on Instagram. “I owe you big time!!”
