Taylor Swift made headlines at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 5 game against the New Orleans Saints at Arrowhead Stadium. As expected, the broadcast cameras frequently captured the pop star cheering on her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. In a shocking moment during the second quarter, after the camera panned to Swift following a Kelce play, NFL legend Troy Aikman made a comment that sent social media into a frenzy.
Here’s everything you need to learn about what Troy Aikman said about Taylor Swift.
Troy Aikman’s ‘Mrs’ comment about Taylor Swift explained
Former NFL quarterback and Monday Night Football analyst Troy Aikman praised a second-quarter play by Chiefs star Travis Kelce against the Saints. Meanwhile, ESPN cameras captured his girlfriend, pop superstar Taylor Swift, celebrating in a suite at Arrowhead Stadium.

Aikman immediately regretted his words after his broadcast partner, play-by-play announcer Joe Buck, called him out on his mistake.
“You know they’re not married?” Buck said, to which Aikman reverted saying: “I’m sure I’m in trouble for saying that.”

Scott Swift sported a red quarter zip and black slacks, while Taylor Swift opted for a plaid minidress and high black boots. Notably, this marked Swift’s return to a Chiefs game after missing the previous two weeks.
At halftime, Kelce led the Chiefs in receptions with eight and tied with JuJu Smith-Schuster for most receiving yards with 67. His longest reception of the half was a 21-yard catch in the first quarter. The Chiefs held a 16-7 lead over the Saints going into the second half.
Kelce entered the game following his best performance of the season. This strong showing came after Swift made a surprise visit to support the tight end following a disappointing Week 3 game.
Swift had been a frequent attendee at games last season after the couple publicly confirmed their relationship in September.
