Tony Romo was just having fun.
The CBS analyst explained his decision to consistently refer to Taylor Swift as Travis Kelce’s wife during Chiefs games this season.
“I’m kidding,” Romo said during a CBS Sports media session ahead of the 2024 Super Bowl. “Once upon a time, someone did something like that to me. … People come up to me all the time (asking), ‘What do you know?’ People love it and are obsessed with it.
“It’s Taylor. She has as great a personality as anyone in the world right now. I think it’s great for her to be in the football game. I think that will only add value. , I think our team is doing it the right way. … It’s just showing up naturally.”
Since they started dating in late summer, Swift has become a fixture at Chiefs games this season, appearing in 12 games, including wins in all three playoff games.
“Right behind you is your brother-in-law,” Romo said of Swift and Travis’ younger brother, Eagles center Jason Kelce, in the suite together during the AFC Divisional Round win over the Bills. That’s what I said when I was there.
Swift made his first appearance in Week 3 against the Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.
