Joe Bucks Family Forbids Him From Joking About Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce jokes don't fly in Joe Buck's house, the football announcer revealed during a recent Chiefs broadcast. See what he said.

Since Taylor Swift became a major part of Kansas City Chiefs games, a couple of announcers have tripped up when referring to her during game day broadcasts — but Joe Buck doesn’t plan to fall into that trap.

After co-announcer Troy Aikman mistakenly referred to the pop star as Travis Kelce’s “Mrs.” during the Chiefs vs. New Orleans Saints match on Monday, Buck revealed that such missteps wouldn’t fly in his house. “My daughters have warned me multiple times today: ‘Dad, I know you think you’re funny, don’t make any jokes,'” Buck told the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback on air.

Moments before that, cameras had panned to Swift’s reaction to one of Kelce’s second-quarter plays. As the “Anti-Hero” singer cheered and applauded her boyfriend, Aikman said: “The Mrs. 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,” added Buck.

Aikman’s slip-up comes about 10 months after Tony Romo made headlines for a similar reason. During a Chiefs game in the 2023-24 season — which later saw Kansas City win the Super Bowl — Romo accidentally said during his broadcast, “As you see Kelce’s wife, Taylor Swift, in the audience … I’m sorry, girlfriend.”

Currently on a break from her global Eras Tour, Swift has attended several Chiefs games so far this season to cheer Kelce on. At her most recent outing to Arrowhead Stadium, the 14-time Grammy winner sported a plaid dress, platform boots and eye-catching glitter freckles on her cheeks.

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