Tony Romo Refers to Taylor Swift as Travis Kelce’s “Wife” During Live Broadcast
Tony Romo, former NFL quarterback turned sports commentator, caused a stir during the CBS live broadcast of the Chiefs-Bills game on Sunday. Romo mistakenly referred to Taylor Swift, who was in attendance supporting her boyfriend Travis Kelce, as Kelce’s “wife.” The slip of the tongue sent fans into a frenzy on social media.
Romo’s Accidental Blip
During the second quarter of the game, the camera cut to a video of Swift cheering from her box after Kelce made a catch. Romo, in his commentary, said, “You can see Kelce’s wife Taylor Swift in the audience,” before quickly correcting himself and saying, “I’m sorry, girlfriend.” Jim Nantz, Romo’s co-host, jokingly responded, “Not yet. You don’t know something we don’t know, do you?”
Fans React on Social Media
The accidental blunder by Romo sparked a frenzy among Swifties and Kelce fans on social media. Fans expressed their excitement and amusement over the slip-up. One user wrote, “Tony Romo has made a TV career out of knowing what will happen next. He may have just done it again.” Another user simply shared, “I SCREAMEEEEEDDDDDD.”
Romo’s History of Controversial Commentary
This is not the first time Romo has caused an uproar with his commentary. In a previous game, he called his co-host Jim Nantz “sexy,” which drew criticism from fans who were unhappy with his broadcast style.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Relationship
Swift recently confirmed in her Time Person of the Year interview that she and Kelce have been romantically involved since July. The couple was first linked in September and went public with their relationship the following month when they were photographed holding hands in New York City.
Despite rumors of a wedding, it is clear that Romo’s slip-up was premature. Just last week, Swift’s publicist shut down rumors of her previous marriage to long-time boyfriend Joe Alwyn, stating that there was never a marriage or ceremony of any kind.
Overall, Romo’s accidental reference to Taylor Swift as Travis Kelce’s “wife” during the live broadcast has caused quite a buzz among fans. While it was a simple mistake, it highlights the public’s fascination with celebrity relationships and the power of social media in amplifying such moments.
