In a surprising turn of events, CBS Sports analyst and former quarterback Tony Romo made the same blunder not once, but twice, when he mistakenly referred to singer Taylor Swift as Travis Kelce's "wife" during a recent broadcast. Romo's slip-ups occurred during the Kansas City Chiefs' game against the Las Vegas Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri.

During the game, as Kelce achieved his 900th career reception, Romo made the first fumble by stating, "And his wife loves it - I mean, girlfriend." The comment elicited a chuckle from his play-by-play colleague, Jim Nantz.

This was not the first time Romo stumbled over the pair's relationship status. Just earlier this month, during a Chiefs game against the Buffalo Bills, Romo again made a similar mistake. When Kelce made an impressive catch, Romo exclaimed, "That's amazing! You see Kelce's wife Taylor Swift in the audience - er, I'm sorry."

These repeated blunders by Romo have drawn attention, considering the media spotlight that has recently shone on the romance between Swift and Kelce. In her Time magazine "Person of the Year" profile for 2023, Swift disclosed that their relationship blossomed after Kelce mentioned her on his podcast. In July, Kelce had expressed his desire to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it when he attended one of her Eras Tour shows.

Swift confirmed that their connection began shortly after that moment. However, they managed to keep their relationship under wraps for some time, allowing them to get to know each other away from the spotlight. Swift clarified that the first game they attended together was not their actual first date, debunking any assumptions of a dramatic public debut.

Throughout this NFL season, Swift has been a supportive presence at many of Kelce's games. On Monday, she attended the Chiefs' game against the Raiders in the company of her mother, father, and her brother, who even donned a Santa Claus costume. Swift added a touch of festive cheer by wearing a Santa hat with Kelce's jersey number during the game.

Following the Raiders' victory, Swift and Kelce were seen holding hands, confirming the strength of their relationship. While Romo's slip-ups may have provided some lighthearted moments, they serve as a reminder to be cautious with assumptions and to verify facts, especially in the fast-paced world of live sports broadcasts.

As the season continues, fans will eagerly watch to see Swift's continued support for Kelce, cheering him on from the sidelines. Meanwhile, Romo will undoubtedly be more careful with his words in future broadcasts, aiming to avoid any further mix-ups.
