Andrews and Thompson attended the concert in the VIP section with their partners – former two-time Stanley Cup champion Jarret Stoll and entrepreneur Steven Cundari, respectively.

And they had the time of their lives based on Thompson's Instagram posts.

“London + Taylor = best time,” Thompson captioned a photo that included Travis and his sister-in-law Kylie Kelce, the wife of former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce.

Andrews, for her part, posted a photo showing all the friendship bracelets she and Thompson had collected at the concert.

"We. Made. It.," the Fox NFL broadcaster wrote.

Andrews and Thompson recently appeared on The Tonight Show and shared their beliefs about how Kelce and Swift's romance first came about.

The Fox NFL colleagues were on the late-night TV show promoting their popular podcast Calm Down.

During a sequence, host Jimmy Fallon asked the pair, "You guys predicted Kelce and Taylor?"

"Yes Jimmy, we are responsible," Thompson boldly replied.

That caused Fallon to laugh and tell Thompson and Andrews, "That was you who did that, thank you.

"As a country, we're thanking our servicemen and women, but we really have to thank you for what you've done for all of us.

"You brought us Taylor and Travis, oh my God."

"You’re welcome, America," Thompson said.

Fallon asked the pair about how they put the Kansas City Chiefs star Kelce and 14-time Grammy winner, Swift, together.

Andrews explained she and Thompson had covered Kelce as sports broadcasters and became friends with him.

And Andrews then shared that when Kelce went on his popular podcast New Heights to let his crush on Swift be known, both Andrews and Thompson also spread the idea.

"He had mentioned on his podcast that he went to the show, wanted to meet her afterwards, didn’t get the chance to," she said.

"So we just started talking about it on our podcast saying, ‘Taylor, do this for America. Date him.’

"I mean, the guy, he’s not ugly by any means."

Thompson added that they were "advocating early on" and said that Kelce told them, "I owe you guys big time."

"So then, of course, everyone gives us credit," Thompson continued.

"We, we’ll take the credit, but I just love both of them, and I’m so happy to see them happy."

Kelce has continued showing his appreciation for Thompson and Andrews' help getting him to date Swift.
