Erin Andrews first took credit for playing matchmaker when on her "Calm Down" podcast in late August. At the time, Andrews said she urged Swift, "Please try our friend Travis. He is fantastic!"

More recently, Andrews brought up the topic once again as she appeared on Monday's "Late Night", claiming, "Travis [Kelce] was very open about not getting to meet [Taylor Swift], and so we were just being really candid because we love him. We're good friends of his. And we just were like, 'Taylor, date this guy.'"

Andrews used Kelce's "good looks" as a way to persuade the "Teardrops On My Guitar" singer to give him a shot -- that and the fact that he is "just such a great, great guy."

Yeah, this was a huge moment," Andrews said of Swift wearing a jacket from her sports apparel line. Andrews was right as the windbreaker sold out almost immediately after  Swift was spotted wearing it at the game.
