The NFL player credited the FOX Sports commentators with his and the singer’s connection after they re-posted a throwback video from their “Calm Down With Erin and Charissa” podcast via Instagram Sunday.
In the clip, which was filmed last month, the ladies gave a strong pitch as to why Swift should date Kelce.
“You two are something else!!” the athlete, 33, wrote in the comments section of the post, adding laughing-crying emojis, as well as raised hands.
“I owe you big time!!”
In the social media upload, Andrews also asked Swift, 33, to “please try [their] friend Travis.”

The 45-year-old called the Kansas City Chiefs tight end a “fantastic” person, adding, “[Taylor] I know we’re not the best of friends, we’re not even friends, but I consider you one. Take us up on this. Go on a date with this guy.”
Thompson, 41, agreed during the August episode, asking the “Cruel Summer” singer to “do it for [her]self” but also for them and “for the people.”
She concluded, “There is no one who would give you a better time than this guy.”
Social media users praised the sportscasters for “totally call[ing]” the connection, with one calling them the “best wing women!”
Another added, “You guys manifested it lol.”
Andrews and Thompson shared their support for the possible couple after Kelce admitted on the “New Heights” podcast in July that he was “butthurt” about not getting to meet the performer on her Eras Tour.
“I was disappointed that … I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her,” the “Catching Kelce” alum said at the time, explaining that he beaded his phone number into the homemade jewelry.
“She doesn’t meet anybody — or at least she didn’t want to meet me,” he added. “So, I took it personal.”
However, reports surfaced two months later that Kelce and the songwriter had been “quietly hanging out” for a few weeks.
The duo went public on Sept. 24 when Swift watched his team beat the Chicago Bears in Kansas City, Mo., attending an afterparty post-game where they were photographed cuddled up.
This Sunday, Swift showed up to another Chiefs game — this time at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium with her A-list friends, including Blake Lively and Hugh Jackman.
The pair are reportedly “just getting to know each other,” with a source telling People Kelce is “focusing on football” as his “priority is the Chiefs” and “it’s all about the team.”
