Travis Kelce got a little help from his friends to help him get together with Taylor Swift. Shortly after the Kansas City Chiefs tight end detailed his failed attempt at giving Swift a bracelet with his "number" on it during an Eras Tour stop in July, sports commentators Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson shared a public plea for her to give the NFL star a chance.

In a clip posted to Thompson's Instagram yesterday (October 2), Andrew states in the August 3 recorded podcast episode: "Taylor, I don't know what you're doing in your life right now besides rocking the world. Please try our friend Travis. He is fantastic! This is one, Taylor, 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!" Thompson added in, "Do it for yourself, do it for us, and do it for the people. Because there is no one who would give you a better time than this guy." As for what Travis had to say in response to their public assist, he commented: "[laughing face emojis] You two are something else!! [praise hands emojis] I owe you big time!!"

Fans also chimed in with the same sentiment, with one user writing, "Thank you for manifesting this. Really hope they can work out!" Meanwhile, another added, "YES you shake that magic." A third commented: "Best wing women!"

As we recently reported, Taylor has cheered on Travis two weekends in a row. On October 1, she supported her new beau with some of her famous pals as Kansas City headed to the East Coast to face off against the New York Jets. The pop star arrived at Metlife Stadium in New Jersey with Sophie Turner, Sabrina Carpenter, Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Queer Eye‘s Antoni Porowski, and even her younger brother, Austin Swift.
