Taylor Swift Eras Tour: Erin Andrews, Charissa Thompson’s Husbands React
Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson are noted fans of Taylor Swift — and turned their respective husbands into Swifties during the Eras Tour.
“For a three-and-a-half-hour concert, it went by in an hour, basically. It seemed like an hour,” Jarret Stoll, who is married to 46-year-old Andrews, recalled on the Wednesday, April 16, episode of the women’s “Calm Down” podcast. “We had a good setup. Me and Steve [Cundari, Thompson’s husband] had chicken wings, chicken tenders, fries, margaritas, beers [and] waters.”
Stoll, 42, further thanked Swift, 35, and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, for “hooking us up in the [VIP] tent.”
“Jason [Kelce] was there, Kylie was there,” Stoll added of Travis’ brother and his wife. “We were lucky to hang out with them, and it was great. … [It was] nonstop, like, she just kept going and kept going.”
Stoll and Cundari further marveled at the fact that Swift had “no break” and kept performing throughout the evening, also praising the Grammy winner’s outfit changes and her energy.
“It was fun. It was a great time,” Stoll added, before Cundari noted the production was “fantastic.”

“Even if you’re not a fan, to see that is wild,” Cundari gushed. “Like, I don’t know, she changes costumes, like, 40 times or something. Crazy. The stamina.”
Cundari also gave a special “shout-out” to fans who gifted their group friendship bracelets. (Swifties traded DIY beaded baubles at each show in honor of the lyrics in Swift’s “You’re on Your Own, Kid.”)
“I think we got about 800 bracelets that were handmade [and] custom,” Cundari said, also discussing the overall VIP experience. “We didn’t have to go to the bathroom. We could go on the sprinter van [before we arrived]. It was key. Thanks, appreciate it.”

Not only are Andrews and Thompson, 42, also impassioned fans of Swift’s music catalog, but they are also supportive of her romance with Travis, 35. (Before Swift and Travis confirmed their romance, the two sportscasters proclaimed on a 2023 episode of “Calm Down” that the duo should date.)
“Travis has been a good friend for a long time and I just love who he is as a person and I always want him to be happy,” Thompson exclusively told Us Weekly in May 2024. “My friend Erin Andrews and I have a podcast. We were talking about how we just want him to be happy and then it came to fruition. We put it out in the universe.”
She added, “We do not get any credit for it, but we were definitely big advocates of it, and I’m so happy to see them so happy together.”
