Taylor Swift<\/strong><\/a> was upgraded to wife status during the Kansas City Chiefs\u2019 home game against the New Orleans Saints when sports analyst Troy Aikman<\/strong> mistakenly referred to her as Travis Kelce<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s \u201cMrs.\u201d<\/p>\n The former quarterback, 57, made the remark while commentating the Monday Night Football broadcast on Monday, October 7. After Travis, 35, made a big play in the second quarter and the camera panned to a cheering Taylor, 34, in a VIP box at Arrowhead Stadium<\/a>, Troy quipped, \u201cThe Mrs. likes it.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou know they\u2019re not married, right?\u201d his broadcast partner, Joe Buck<\/strong>, said.<\/p>\n Troy responded, \u201cI\u2019m sure I\u2019m in trouble for saying that.\u201d<\/p>\n Indeed, the analyst\u2019s comment received mixed reactions online. Many fans argued that the nickname wasn\u2019t respectful.<\/p>\n \u201cDear Troy Aikman, DO NOT call Taylor Swift \u2018the Mrs.\u2019 It\u2019s demeaning. Even if she WAS his wife. She\u2019s Taylor Alison Swift \u2013 global superstar,\u201d one fan wrote on X, while another user claimed it was a \u201cchauvinistic, disgusting statement.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s bigger than you could ever dream to be, cowboy,\u201d another person wrote.<\/p>\n On the other hand, some viewers laughed at the statement and hoped it was a positive sign about the couple\u2019s future.<\/p>\n \u201cTroy just got in trouble for saying Taylor Swift was the Mrs.,\u201d one fan wrote on X with a laughing emoji.<\/p>\n \u201cThe \u2018Mrs.\u2019 Will Taylor Swift finally settle down with Travis Kelce and have some [baby emoji]?\u201d another person commented.<\/p>\n Many fans have been wondering when Taylor and Travis, who began dating in July 2023, will take the next step in their romance. A source exclusively told Life & Style<\/em> around the couple\u2019s one-year anniversary that they \u201calready consider themselves unofficially engaged<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re very coy on the subject and quick to deny any specifics which is fair enough since they haven\u2019t come up with any yet, but they love to talk in general terms. It\u2019s something they\u2019ve been doing for a while and the secret is now leaking out,\u201d the insider said on July 10. \u201cPeople in the know are saying the common bet is that they\u2019ll be engaged within six months. They want it to be a non-pressured, spontaneous moment when it does happen. \u2026 They\u2019re both clear they\u2019ve found their person and they love to talk about the future, kids when the time is right and the wedding when it happens.\u201d<\/p>\n Later that month, amid rumors that the pair had already secretly gotten engaged, another insider exclusively told Life & Style<\/em> that Taylor was ready for it to happen<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cTaylor sees herself marrying Travis, but she\u2019s not pushing it because she knows what their future holds,\u201d the source said. \u201cTravis is in it for the long haul, too. He\u2019s been ready to pop the question for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n An official engagement announcement has yet to be made. For now, the NFL star and the Grammy winner are seemingly soaking up their time together before she heads back out on her Eras tour on October 18. Though Taylor will be busy with concerts in the U.S. and Canada and Travis with his football schedule, a source exclusively told Life & Style<\/em> in September that they have a \u201cplan\u201d for making long distance work<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re not nervous about their romance getting stale. In fact, they\u2019re very confident in what they have. They plan on doing FaceTime daily and will continue to fly out to see each other when their schedules open up,\u201d the insider said, adding that \u201cromantic dates are a must, even if it\u2019s just for a few hours.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cEither at out-of-the-way restaurants or holed in their hotel room with room service or their favorite takeout,\u201d the source continued. \u201cTaylor and Travis have perfected staying connected regardless of their busy lifestyles, proving that nothing, especially distance, can keep them apart.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
