Aikman’s co-commentator Joe Buck interrupted him immediately and asked if he was aware they weren’t married. Aikman said that he was aware and also foresaw getting into trouble for his comment.
Online speculation about Swift and Kelce’s relationship status had been widespread already, though no confirmation has been given by the couple.
Meanwhile, the Chiefs got a good 16-7 lead in the first half and eventually won 26-13. Kelce was reportedly at his best in the game. Despite the Chiefs getting continuous victories, Kelce was earlier criticized on the internet for putting on a lousy performance, with even Swift being blamed for it.

DO NOT call Taylor Swift “the Mrs.” It’s demeaning. Even if she WAS his wife. She’s Taylor Alison Swift – global superstar. #TroyAikman#ChiefsKingdom
Not sure which ahole #JoeBuck or #TroyAikman called @taylorswift13 "the Mrs" but you just lost ALL credibility w women.

Whether you meant it or not, it was a chavanistic, disgusting statement.
I hope you catch fire from fans, Taylor, & @tkelce. @espn, great way to lose fans.
