Charissa Thompson’s top 2025 moments included going snow tubing with Taylor Swift.
On Wednesday, Dec. 31, NFL host Thompson, 43, shared a carousel of images on Instagram to mark the end of an “unforgettable” year, and her memories included hanging out with Swift, 36, after she and sportscaster Erin Andrews, 47, joined the singer and her fiancé Travis Kelce on a trip to Montana back in March.
The snap, believed to have been taken on the snowy getaway during the NFL offseason, showed Swift sitting on a green rubber ring in the show, wearing a colorful jacket and snow boots.
The pop superstar posed in the middle of Thompson and Andrews, who were also wrapped up warm while sitting on rubber rings during the tubing activity. Thompson and Andrews were also joined by their husbands on the trip.

Other snaps included in the carousel featured multiple work-related photos, as well as images showing Thompson posing with loved ones and her animals.
Thompson captioned the post, which was liked by Kelce, 36, “2025 …. Wow!!! 🎉 You were one to remember!!!! The last 365 days were filled with SO many unforgettable memories.”
“Earlier this year I was in the car with some girlfriends and someone asked , ‘what’s the song that you think sums up your life?’ It’s a tough question but I said this one playing right now 🤍,” she added, as OneRepublic’s “I Lived” played in the background.
Thompson continued, “I never ever take these people or places for granted. And I especially don’t lose sight of how lucky I am to be a mom to so many animals. Which is why we were so devastated to lose Daisy a month ago. I miss you so much Daisy and I hope you’re chasing squirrels and crushing pup cups 🥹,” paying tribute to her beloved German Shepherd, who died in November.
“Cheers to 2026 everyone 🥂 ❤️,” Thompson concluded.

Thompson and Andrews’ snap with Swift comes after the pair previously joked that they’re “responsible” for her and Kelce’s relationship.
Thompson then spoke about the group’s Montana vacation during the July 28 episode of her and Andrews’ podcast, Calm Down with Erin and Charissa, excitedly telling listeners at the time that Swift was “everything I’d ever hoped and dreamed that she could have been and more.”
Thompson reminded those listening that she and Andrews had “advocated for” Swift to give Kelce “a chance” when he initially spoke about trying to give her his number after her Eras Tour concert in 2023, quipping that the suggestion “clearly worked out” for the couple.
“They are so happy and adorable and all things, so when the opportunity came about for all of us to spend time together and go on vacation, we were elated to just have time with them and in general see what she was all about,” the Fox Sports commentator shared.
Kelce previously posted a couple of photos from the trip on Instagram in a July post featuring “adventures” from his 2025 offseason. The collection marked the first time he included photos with Swift on his account since they started dating in the summer of 2023.

Andrews and Thompson initially kept their trip with the superstar couple under wraps before Kelce posted the images, which Thompson previously said on their podcast was because they wanted to respect their privacy.
“Their lives are so public, so it was very important for Erin and I not to say anything, not because we don’t like to share stuff with you, but it’s important for us to let them dictate the narrative on things they do in their personal life,” Thompson explained.
“She’s a dream and I adore her and I’m so happy that they make each other happy,” she said.
Andrews added that she and Thompson are both “protective of” Kelce and Swift. “We’re so protective of them and their privacy and what they deserve, so that’s why we never said anything or planned on saying anything,” she said, speaking about the March trip.
