Taylor Swift has quickly become a popular figure in the NFL circles due to her relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. With the Chiefs defeating the Baltimore Ravens in the season opener on Thursday night, Swift caught plenty of attention and eyeballs on social media. Her fame in the NFL circles has spread rapidly in less than one calendar year, and it doesn’t seem to be subsiding anytime soon.
Moreover, Monday Night Football broadcaster Troy Aikman has indeed given out a unique offer to Swift, as he mentioned in an episode of the Sports Media with Richard Deitsch podcast. Aikman said they would have Swift in for an interview if the opportunity presents itself.
“Are you kidding me? We’ll escort her up,” Aikman said. “There’s no doubt that if we could get her on Monday Night Football in the booth, we would interview her, and we’d have a place for her to sit, and she could take as long as she wanted. I say that now my producer may feel otherwise.”
The Taylor Swift effect has swept the country quickly, and it seems that every Chiefs game brings plenty of attention to the pop star.
On Thursday night, the Sunday Night Football X account had a video of Swift as she was spotted to begin the 2024 campaign.
While not everybody is quite on board with Swift’s popularity during NFL games, Aikman said he doesn’t mind it one bit. “I loved it, quite honestly,” Aikman said.
“I loved it. I think that the fact that a generation of people got exposed to the NFL that, in all likelihood, wouldn’t have otherwise, I think is really positive. I think it’s fair to say the NFL liked it. I just wish we had more Chiefs games.”

Aikman and Joe Buck were not able to call a Monday Night Football game for the Chiefs on ESPN last season as the Week 15 matchup with the New England Patriots got the flex treatment. The Chiefs play on Monday Night Football in Week 5 against the New Orleans Saints and then Week 9 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, so it will be worth watching to see if Aikman can bring Swift in for an interview.
