Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce haven’t publicly defined their relationship — but Al Michaels has!
The sportscaster referred to the Grammy winner as Kelce’s “girlfriend” during Thursday’s Kansas City Chiefs game against the Denver Broncos.
“Of course, looking on is, at the moment, his good buddy and girlfriend Taylor Swift!” Michaels, 78, told viewers during the fourth quarter.
As the sound byte went viral on Twitter, social media users questioned whether the duo’s status is “official.”
Regardless, many Swifties tweeted that they were “kicking [their] feet” and “blushing” over the comment, while others poked fun at it.
“Al Michaels just said Taylor Swift is Travis Kelce’s ‘good buddy and girlfriend’ and that’s how all gfs should be referred to from now on,” one wrote.
Another noted that “Al Michaels being the first person to call Taylor ‘girlfriend’ is so hilarious.”
Although the camera panned to Swift, 33, in the audience many times throughout the night as the Chiefs beat the Broncos 19 to 8, Michaels previously told Sports Illustrated that the singer would only be shown “in moderation.”
He explained, “You can’t make a sideshow the show. The vast majority of the audience are tuning in to watch a football game.”
The match marked Swift’s third time supporting Kelce, 34, since news broke in September that they were “quietly hanging out.”
The songwriter, however, made headlines for missing the Minnesota Vikings game on Sunday.
That being said, Pvnew confirmed on Tuesday that Swift spent time with the “Catching Kelce” alum in Kansas City, Mo., earlier in the weekend to celebrate his birthday.
When the tight end released a “New Heights” podcast episode with his brother, Jason Kelce, on Wednesday, he kept quiet about Swift and avoided addressing their “chill night” together.
Previously, Travis has gushed to listeners about how “amazing” the American Music Award winner looked in the stands and what a “great” impression she made on his family.
