The Kansas City Chiefs have played some atrocious football through two-quarters of their Week 14 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Patrick Mahomes has thrown an interception, Clyde Edwards-Helaire looks aggressively average, and the team’s defense has already surrendered two touchdowns.
One of the only notable occurrences in the game for Kansas City was a sound bite from CBS broadcaster Tony Romo who described pop superstar Taylor Swift as tight end Travis Kelce’s wife.

While rumors have swirled about Swift’s romance with Kelce in recent weeks, there has never been any indication of an engagement, and Jim Nantz was quick to correct Romo after the awkward mistake. The broadcast went on as normal, but social media was buzzing about the clip while the Chiefs floundered on the field.
“Swifties” and Chiefs fans took to Twitter after Romo misspoke to voice their opinions about the strange assertion.
Check out their top reactions to the bizarre moment in the broadcast below:
“As you see Kelce’s wife, Taylor Swift in the audience.” -Announcer

"Travis Kelce's wife." That's an all timer from Tony Romo, who will now be discussed on every Taylor Swift message board for all time.
