Reports suggest that Pop icon Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce welcomed NFL reporter Erin Andrews along with them at their recent vacation, a skiing trip in Montana via Daily Mail.
Kansas City Chiefs star Kelce has been enjoying downtime following the Super Bowl loss in February to the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans. He nearly retired afterward, before deciding that he will play on.
Swift has faced her own troubles with her friendship with Blake Lively taking a hit amid her ongoing legal feud with Justin Baldoni.
The star couple were spotted earlier in March in Utah together. That may well have been around a reported trip to Montana by DeuxMoi, which now says they had a friend with them in Andrews.
The report stated that they were all spotted in an exclusive lounge on one of the days at Big Sky, Montana, while Swift and Andrews were also seen having lunch without Kelce on another occasion. It comes after DailyMail.com reported that Swift, was ‘in hiding’, holed up with Kelce and cutting contact with many of her closest friends.
As per our source, this battening down of hatches is by design — as she tries to avoid being further dragged into the vicious legal battle between former best friend Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. (Swift has been mentioned in legal filings and has apparently been left feeling ‘used’ by Lively).
However, it now appears that a friend she hasn’t cut off is Andrews.
During the NFL season, Andrews works with Fox Sports for their football coverage and has been a long-standing fan of Swift’s. She was also there in New Orleans covering the Super Bowl when Kelce’s hopes of a Chiefs three-peat turned to dust last month.
The 46-year-old also joked that she was a match-maker for Kelce and Swift in an appearance on the Jimmy Fallon show last year with Charissa Thompson, who she hosts a podcast with.
‘Yeah, well, obviously we’ve covered him. And we’re friends with him. And how could you not be? The guy’s a time, right? I’ve seen you guys on a golf course and everything. He’s a time,’ said Andrews.
‘He had mentioned on his podcast that he went to the show, wanted to meet her afterwards, didn’t get the chance to.
‘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: ‘We were advocating early on. And he was very sweet and he commented and he was like, ‘I owe you guys big time,’ so then of course everyone gives us credit.
‘We, you know, we’ll take the credit. But I just love both of them and I’m so happy to see them happy.’
Kelce, meanwhile, was pictured in North Carolina on Friday, playing golf at the iconic Pinehurst course.
