NEWS UPDATE: Jason Sudeikis asked Travis Kelce about making Taylor Swift ‘an honest woman.’ We need to talk about it
Jason Sudeikis made a joke about Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift in a skit over the weekend − and while Kelce took it in good humor, it’s an important reminder your relationship is nobody’s business but yours.
While performing in a comedy sketch at the 15th annual Big Slick Celebrity Weekend charity fundraiser in Kansas City, Missouri, with Kelce, Sudeikis, in character, popped a question referencing Kelce’s relationship plans with Swift: “Hey Travis, real talk OK, just the guys here … When are you going to make an honest woman out of her?”
The “Ted Lasso” star also referenced Kansas City Chiefs’ kicker Harrison Butker’s recent commencement speech, in which the athlete suggested the highest calling for a woman is marriage and motherhood. “Taylor doesn’t need to be working anymore,” Sudeikis said. “I know your kicker agrees with me.” Sudeikis was playing a character, and Kelce didn’t seem bothered by the joke, smiling along and not giving an answer.
Still, mental health and relationship experts previously told USA TODAY we should keep in mind not every couple wants to get married and that’s OK. Furthermore, it’s probably time to retire the phrase “make an honest woman out of her,” which traditionally means to marry a woman that you are having sex with, per the Cambridge Dictionary’s website. “Sudeikis is hilarious,” wrote one X user. “But seriously, Taylor Swift doesn’t need anyone to ‘make an honest woman’ out of her. She’s doing just fine on her own.”
