Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have recently been spotted enjoying some private time together in Montana, amidst ongoing buzz about their relationship. The pair, who have been publicly dating since they were first linked at a Kansas City Chiefs game in September 2023, took a romantic trip that included a notable dinner companion: sportscaster Erin Andrews.
The trio was seen dining at the Auric Room, a renowned supper club and speakeasy at Lone Mountain Ranch. Insiders revealed their close friendship, noting that “Erin is close friends with Taylor and Travis, and Travis even jokingly credits Erin with encouraging Taylor to date him.” This close bond highlights the supportive network that surrounds the couple.
Andrews, who is 46, played a pivotal role in their romance from the beginning. Shortly after Travis Kelce, 35, attempted to connect with Swift by giving her a friendship bracelet during her Eras Tour at a concert in Kansas City in July 2023, Andrews publicly urged Swift to consider dating him. During an episode of her podcast “Calm Down” with co-host Charissa Thompson in August 2023, Andrews asked Swift directly, “Go on a date with this guy.” This played a significant part in kick-starting Swift and Kelce’s relationship.
Swift, who is also 35, made headlines when she attended her first Chiefs game shortly after Andrews’ podcast plea, marking the unofficial start of their high-profile romance. The couple has since shared several date nights and vacations, expressing their desire to keep their relationship private amid their fame.
Both Swift and Kelce arranged some time off recently, as Swift wrapped up her monumental “Eras Tour” in December 2024, while Kelce's season with the Chiefs culminated in February 2025 after a disappointing Super Bowl loss. Following that defeat, the couple took to spending quality time away from the public eye, starting with a getaway abroad before their recent trip to Montana.
The cozy trip coincided with their mutual need for privacy and rest after a whirlwind season. Eyewitnesses have noted the couple is committed to cherishing these moments away from the frenzy that often surrounds their careers. On the night at the Auric Room, the trio shared laughter and camaraderie, reminiscing about how Andrews had been a significant part of bringing them together.
Earlier in March 2025, Swift and Kelce had been seen enjoying a low-key dinner in Park City, Utah, after returning to the U.S. from their international travels. They later went on to share another meal in New York City just days before their dinner in Montana, showing their eagerness to carve out intimate moments in busy schedules that pull them in different directions.
While their public appearances together have been limited, their decision to vacation with Andrews reveals the trust they share with their inner circle. Friends have noted that Kelce acknowledges Andrews’ support with a sense of humor, claiming he owes her “big time” for her encouragement in pursuing Swift.
As they step between the worlds of music and sports, both Swift and Kelce continue to navigate their burgeoning relationship with care and intent, sealing it with shared experiences that reinforce their bond. The couple is eagerly planning their next steps together, balancing the demands of their respective careers and personal aspirations.
As rumors swirl around Swift's upcoming music projects, the couple appears to be thriving more than ever, supported by friends who believe in their connection.
In every interaction and public outing, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce demonstrate not just their commitment to one another but also the importance of friendship and support in building a lasting and meaningful relationship.
