Charissa Thompson and Erin Andrews, co-hosts of the popular “Calm Down” podcast, shared their heartfelt reflections on the event, labelling the wedding as a “royal wedding” that resonated with romance and joy. Thompson, who is a well-known sports commentator, expressed her excitement about the occasion during a recent podcast episode, stating, “It was magical… maybe there’s a subliminal part of seeing them get married that makes me want to have a version adjacent to marriage and the commitment ceremony.”
The sentiment continued as the Fox Sports commentator described the event as a poignant reminder of the significance of companionship. “Watching them get married… when you find your person, everything else in the world is right,” she remarked. Thompson emphasised the value of love and partnership, noting that material success pales in comparison to having someone special to share it with. “So congratulations to both of them. Thank you for including us in your special weekend,” she added warmly.
Echoing Thompson’s sentiments, Andrews also described the wedding as a highlight, describing the atmosphere as filled with joy and celebration. “Like you said, ‘magical’,” Andrews affirmed, before elaborating on the experience of mingling with friends from both families. “I was so excited to meet people in both of their lives that we’ve heard about and we haven’t met before. I thought that was so exciting. Everybody was just so lovely and fun,” she noted.
The celebration served as an opportunity for friends and family from different walks of life to come together, and Thompson acknowledged the importance of such gatherings. “It was so fun to see our friends in the same place… our fun lobby hangs and all the things that we did as a group,” she commented, highlighting the camaraderie that defined the weekend.
The friendship between Swift, Kelce, Thompson, and Andrews has been longstanding. In the offseason, the four were seen enjoying a holiday in Montana together, and the close-knit circle frequently supports each other’s endeavors, including the recent opening of Kelce’s steakhouse. Their bond reflects a mutual admiration and respect that continues to grow over time.
Thompson has previously stated that watching Swift and Kelce’s love story unfold has been a source of inspiration for her own relationship. In May, she remarked to PEOPLE that her boyfriend, Steve Cundari, should take cues from the couple’s affectionate interactions. “They love each other so much, and it’s so beautiful to see,” she shared, expressing the joy that comes from witnessing their romance blossom.
As the couple embarks on this new chapter of their lives, their friends are eager to celebrate their journey. Both Thompson and Andrews have praised the couple’s undeniable chemistry, highlighting how their love not only unites them but also brings together those in their lives, creating cherished memories across the board.
As the festivities of the wedding linger in the air, the general sentiment remains one of happiness and excitement for what lies ahead for Swift and Kelce. With their union trailing headlines across various platforms, fans and supporters continue to rally behind them, eager to witness the evolution of their love story that captivates audiences around the globe.
