The 43-year-old Romo was doing the commentary at the time as he reportedly said, “And his wife loves it, I mean, girlfriend.”

Broadcaster Jim Nantz immediately said, “You’ve been down that road with that before,” referring to the time when Romo referred to the ‘Lover’ hitmaker as Kelce’s wife during the Bills-Chiefs game last week.

At the time, the former football quarterback stated, “As you see, Kelce’s wife, Taylor Swift, in the audience,” before correcting, “Er, I'm sorry. Girlfriend!”

Besides, a person on X (formerly Twitter ) tweeted, “He did that on purpose.”



 



 

The second person stated, “It’s the second game he’s done that - so at this point, it’s on purpose.”



 

“Tony Romo needs to be quiet. He put the bad word on the @Chiefs and my beloved @PatrickMahomes, saying this is a trap game. Jinx!!!” a user remarked.



 

Another user posted, “Yeah that for sure on purpose 🤣🤣...man predicts the future of upcoming plays and relationships.”



 



 

“Romo and Nantz critical of Chiefs and Raiders sloppy first half play, but their broadcast was even more sloppy and embarrassing,” a critic asserted.

Recently, the football tight end’s teammate and friend Patrick Mahomes commented on the brewing romance as he reportedly said, “At first, I feel like everybody kind of stayed away, we all just let him (Travis) do what he was doing.”

He continued, “And then he started bringing Taylor around and you realize how cool of a person she is. For us, there were a couple of jokes in the beginning."

Mahomes then stated, “But she's just part of Chiefs Kingdom now and she is part of the team.”

“And for me, it's Travis man, he's lucky enough to be with a great woman. She's a top tier at her profession, and how she drives and becomes that, dude it's really cool to hear about and to see and now I have a first-hand look at that through Brittany and Travis' eyes,” he added.
