Amid fan claims challenging the performance of CBS Sports’ Tony Romo in the broadcast booth, Taylor Swift seemed to offer a supportive comment during the post-game celebrations following the Kansas City Chiefs’ AFC Championship win over the Baltimore Ravens.
In the viral clip, the first part of Swift’s comment to Romo is not clearly audible, but he appears to compliment her, to which she responds: ‘We’re doing very different things. It’s a different skillset.’
Romo retired from the NFL in 2016 and has been CBS Sports’ primary football color commentator since then. He was in the booth for the Chiefs’ 17-10 victory over the Ravens on Sunday.
While Swift and Romo exchanged a fist bump on the M&T Bank Stadium field, some viewers expressed dissatisfaction with Romo’s commentary. Criticism for CBS’ top pair, Romo and Jim Nantz, emerged online as the network prepares to broadcast Super Bowl LVIII in less than two weeks.
Critics claimed that Romo made no sense and lacked enthusiasm, suggesting CBS should replace him with Greg Olsen. Some also believed that Nantz and Romo were hesitant to make critical remarks about players like Patrick Mahomes or Lamar Jackson.
Swift, who has attended numerous Kansas City Chiefs games since publicly announcing her relationship with Travis Kelce, provided a positive comment about Romo, even as some online felt he did not deserve such praise.
For those hoping to watch Super Bowl LVIII without distractions from Swift or Romo, it could be a challenging experience, given the ongoing attention on both.
