Troy Aikman sparked rumors during “Monday Night Football” when he referred to Taylor Swift as “The Missus,” hinting that she may be engaged to Travis Kelce. The ESPN color commentator shared this juicy gossip on Barstool Sports’ “Pardon My Take” podcast, where he addressed the viral remark from the broadcast.
Aikman seemed surprised by the attention his comment received, stating, “This morning, I woke up and saw a headline like, ‘Aikman knew he was in trouble’ or something,” he said. “And I was thinking, ‘Gosh, if this is newsworthy,’ like really?”
Despite the playful banter from PFT Commenter about potentially cursing the Chiefs with his remark, Aikman stood by his claim that Kelce might have already proposed to Swift. “I might have broken the story,” Aikman teased.
Speculation about the couple’s relationship status arose when Swift was notably absent from two games, leading many to believe they had split. However, any doubts were put to rest when the pair were spotted showing affection after the Chiefs’ victory over the Saints.
While Aikman may not be known for his celebrity gossip expertise, if his prediction about Swift and Kelce’s engagement turns out to be true, he’ll certainly deserve credit for the scoop. Stay tuned for more updates on this budding romance!
