Troy Aikman will "escort" Taylor Swift if she agrees to cover MNF with ESPN
The 2024 NFL season began on Sunday and fans will get to see more of pop star Taylor Swift in the upcoming games of the Kansas City Chiefs. Not just the games but if Swift wants to be in ESPN's booth for Monday Night Football, former quarterback and NFL analyst Troy Aikman is more than happy to "escort her up."
In the latest trailer of Aikman's podcast episode with "Sports Media with Richard Deitsch," the Dallas Cowboys legend revealed interest in having Swift in the ESPN booth. Shedding light on the same, Aikman said:
“Are you kidding me? We’ll escort her up. 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.” (3:00)
Troy Aikman's statement came shortly after Taylor Swift's dinner date in Brooklyn with boyfriend Travis Kelce. Before enjoying date night with the tight end, the "Blank Space" singer cheered for him during the Chiefs' season-opening game against the Baltimore Ravens.
