Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce jokes don't fly in Joe Buck's house

Ever since Taylor Swift played a major role in Kansas City Chiefs games, some announcers have stumbled when referencing her during gameday broadcasts — but Joe Buck doesn't plan on falling into that trap.

After co-announcer Troy Aikman mistakenly referred to the pop star as Travis Kelce's “Mrs.” During the Chiefs-New Orleans Saints game on Monday, Buck revealed that such missteps wouldn't happen at his house. “My daughters warned me several times today: 'Dad, I know you think you're funny, don't joke,'” Buck told the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback on air.

Moments earlier, cameras had panned to Swift's reaction to one of Kelce's plays in the second quarter. As the “Anti-Hero” singer cheered and applauded her boyfriend, Aikman said, “The woman likes it.”

“You know they're not married?” Buck corrected him at the time, to which Aikman replied, “I'm sure I'm in trouble for saying that.”

“I mean, it happens,” Buck added.

Aikman's gaffe came about ten months after Tony Romo made headlines for a similar reason. During a Chiefs game in the 2023-24 season – in which Kansas City later won the Super Bowl – Romo accidentally said during his broadcast, “If you see Kelce's wife, Taylor Swift, in the audience… I'm sorry, girlfriend.”

Swift is currently on a break from her global Eras Tour and has attended several Chiefs games so far this season to cheer on Kelce. For her final performance at Arrowhead Stadium, the 14-time Grammy winner wore a plaid dress, platform boots and striking glitter freckles on her cheeks.

After the game ended in a 26-13 victory for the Chiefs, the tight end joined Swift in her pit suite and leaned in for a PDA-filled moment, as captured on camera by a fan. The team remains undefeated with a record of 5-0 and will next face its 2024 Super Bowl opponent, the San Francisco 49ers, on October 20.
