NFL host Charissa Thompson opens up on embarrassing Eras Tour moment in front of Taylor Swift’s dad
NFL host Charissa Thompson has lifted the lid on the moment she was caught dancing in the Eras Tour VIP tent by none other than Taylor Swift’s dad Scott.
Thompson was one of the star guests at one of Swift’s shows in London this summer, where she was joined by Travis, Jason and Kylie Kelce, among others.
She appeared on Kylie’s new podcast, I’m not gonna lieon Thursday, and the host shared one of Thompson’s secrets when she opened up at one point that took place during the show.
“The first time we really got to hang out and spend time together was in the Eras Tour tent,” Kylie began. “I’ll never be able to watch you drop it like it’s hot while Mr. Swift walks into the tent and you turn around and just look shocked.”
Kylie joked that she could pull the story from the show if Thompson didn’t approve of it, but the NFL host instead told her to keep it — and then shared another hilarious moment from their Eras Tour experience.
“At one point I was with Leslie Mann, and I didn’t even know it was her and I hit her on the butt, and she turned around and I was like, ‘I’m so sorry,'” she revealed. “And she says, ‘don’t be like that,’ and I say, ‘great, I’m with my people.’

‘We went to the bathroom. You know you’re going to love someone when you go to the toilet and talk to each other through the stalls, we had an extensive conversation. Kylie, you’re amazing. As advertised. I’ll take you.’
Soon after, things got more heartfelt, when Fox and Amazon host Thompson revealed the emotional circumstances that led to her becoming a fan of Taylor Swift.
“I told Travis this when we were in the tent,” she began. “My love affair with Taylor started when my niece was in the hospital. She was diagnosed with a brain tumor when she was six years old. She is now 22.

“All she wanted to do when she got out of the hospital was go to a Taylor Swift concert. So she comes out of the hospital, half her head is still shaved, bandages, the whole thing… she gets cleared to go to the hospital and she sings every word to these songs, and it’s just me and my sister crying.
‘From that moment on I thought: ‘I love her’.’
At the time, Thompson shared a series of images and videos from the concert, which she attended with her own podcast co-host Erin Andrews.
