On December 10, Romo made the same mistake during the Chiefs' game against the Buffalo Bills, per Page Six.

"As you see, Kelce's wife, Taylor Swift, in the audience," Romo said as the camera panned to Swift.

"I'm sorry, girlfriend," Romo said, quickly correcting himself.

"Not yet!" Nantz responded.

Swift made quite a splash at the matchup against the Bills after she wore a vintage Chiefs sweatshirt from a boutique in Kansas City.

Business Insider's Amanda Krause spoke to Chris Harrington, the boutique owner, who shared that orders to his shop increased significantly, known as the "Taylor effect."

"We've had hundreds of orders over the last 48 hours," he told BI. "Sometimes our online store lights up after a Chiefs game when we win, but this is 100 times more than that, and we lost the game. It was the Taylor effect."
