Erin Andrews is a Swiftie, so it’s no surprise what she chooses when it’s her turn at the karaoke bar.
“My go-to karaoke song is anything from Taylor Swift’s 1989 (Taylor’s Version), especially ‘Style’ or ‘Blank Space,'” Andrews, 45, exclusively tells Us Weekly‘s 25 Things You Don’t Know About Me.
It’s not just Swift’s “Style” song that she likes. The 33-year-old was spotted modeling a WEAR by Erin Andrews windbreaker at a Kansas City Chiefs game last month. The sports commentator — who has been a vocal supporter of Swift’s romance with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce — sent Swift some apparel in the hopes she might rock the merch. However, Andrews was still shocked when she actually saw Swift wearing her line.
She detailed her reaction on iHeartRadio’s “Calm Down With Erin and Charissa” podcast, revealing she discovered the news just before an interview with Chiefs defensive lineman Nick Bosa.
“I was like, ‘Wait wait, is that? Is that? I don’t know!’” Andrews told cohost Charissa Thompson on the October 20 episode. “Long story short, we finally confirm, we finally see it, we finally figure it out. I’m screaming my brains out. Nick Bosa calls me and he’s like, ‘Hey Erin, how are you?’ and I said, ‘You know, Nick, when Taylor Swift shows up to the Thursday night game in your windbreaker, you’re great.’ I mean, I couldn’t be better, how are you and your defense?’”

1. My celebrity crush growing up was Jonathan Knight from New Kids on the Block. We got him on our podcast, and I was red the whole time because I was so excited and nervous.

3. If I could switch lives with anyone, it would be Jennifer Aniston or Julia Roberts.
4. I was once at the same restaurant as Jennifer Aniston, and I died. I was like, “She’s gone through a fertility journey like me, and I’m going to tell her, ‘I love you so much.’” As she got to the table before us, the girls [there] did it before me, and I was like, “No!” because I couldn’t follow it up with, “Well, I love you too.” It ruined my night.
5. Not only have I taken Thorne Basic Prenatal for the last eight years to support my fertility journey, but I continue to take it. I swear by them. [Editor’s Note: Andrews welcomed son Mack via surrogate in June with husband Jarrett Stoll.]
