Before he was asked about Patrick Mahomes or Brock Purdy, Tony Romo was first asked about the phenomenon that is Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s relationship during Thursday’s CBS Sports media session ahead of Super Bowl LVIII.
Romo, who is preparing for his third Super Bowl as a color commentator (CBS, stream on Paramount+), probably upset some Swifties when he was asked why he refers to Swift as Kelce’s wife.
“It’s a joke,” Romo said. “Someone did that to me back in the day. … People come up to me all the time (asking), ‘What do you know?’ People love it and go crazy for it. It’s Taylor.
“She’s just as big a personality as anybody in the world right now. I think it’s a great thing that she’s at football games. I think it just adds value, and I think our team does it the right way. … It just out organically.”
Romo knows better than anyone what Kelce is currently experiencing. During part of his time as the Dallas Cowboys‘ quarterback, Romo was in a relationship with singer/actress Jessica Simpson. He received criticism at the time stating that the relationship caused an unneeded distraction may have affected his play on the field.
Kelce, Romo said, has avoided similar criticism…
