Kylie Kelce is the MVP of the “Eras Tour.”
Fox Sports veteran reporter Erin Andrews recalled having “a meltdown” after encountering former NFL star Jason Kelce’s wife in the bathroom at night one of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in London this past weekend.
During Wednesday’s episode of her and co-host Charissa Thompson’s “Calm Down” podcast, Andrews shared a story about how Kylie assisted a distressed Swiftie during the concert.
“She’s amazing. She was really, really a cool girl. I’ll also say this, an amazing mother. She saw a fan maybe that needed water right away, didn’t think twice about it,” Andrews said. “She grabbed water from the tent, threw it at the fan. I was like, this chick is incredible. Kylie, she’s amazing.”
Andrews and Thompson, both die-hard Swifties, attended the London” Eras Tour” on Friday and praised Kylie as “the MVP” of the night. Thompson even compared the mother of three to Swift herself.
“She did like what Taylor does where she’s like, someone needs help. She’s like scanning the crowd, gets water, the whole thing,” Thompson explained. “Yeah, she’s a dream.”
The Fox Sports personalities and BFFs — who jokingly take credit for matchmaking Swift and boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, last summer — enjoyed VIP treatment at the concert with their significant others: two-time Stanley Cup champion Jarret Stoll and entrepreneur Steven Cundari.
They danced and partied with the Kelce family, as shown in photos shared on social media.
“We. Made. It.,” Andrews wrote on her Instagram Story, including a video of her and Thompson jumping up and down dancing to Swift, whom she called “queen.”
On Wednesday’s episode of their podcast, the two detailed Travis’ behind-the-scenes involvement in his girlfriend’s record-breaking tour.
It was the first time Thompson, 42, had been to a Swift concert with Travis.
‘There is a picture that I took just of her on stage and he is, like, off to the side, and the way that he looks at her when [she’s] performing — I said to him, like: ‘You must be so proud.’ He was like: ‘You have no idea,” Thompson said.
Kylie Kelce is the best 😍

Andrews also raved about the viral moment of Swift serenading Travis with her 2019 hit “Lover” as he stood in the crowd.
She praised Travis for visibly cherishing the experience of being there for his girlfriend.
“We were kinda all standing there watching it and it was awesome,” the host said. “For romantics like Charissa and I, for a guy that we cheer for on and off the field, and obviously we’re massive fans of hers, it was really cool and it was kinda like an inside look of, like, a relationship that all of us had been hoping for. But it was really, really special and he was just standing there and just taking her in.”
In August 2023, Andrews and Thompson publicly urged Swift to consider dating the Chiefs star.
“Please, try our friend Travis. He is fantastic,” Andrews said. “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. Do it for America.”
Swift and Travis took their relationship public in September 2023.
During an appearance on “The Tonight Show,” Andrews and Thompson playfully claimed to Jimmy Fallon they were the ones who sparked the romance.
Thompson explained that she and Andrews “were advocating early on” for Swift and Travis.
“(Travis) was very sweet and he commented [last summer] and he was like, ‘I owe you guys big time,’ so then, of course, everyone gives us credit,” Thomson said. “…We just love both of them and I’m so happy to see them happy.”
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes also said that he’d like to “take some of the credit” for Swift and Kelce’s relationship during a separate appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show.”
