Taylor Swift has once again made an impact with her presence at an NFL game, and this time caught the attention of CBS viewers at the Kansas City Chiefs versus Buffalo Bills matchup on Sunday.

In the broadcast, CBS announcer Tony Romo mistakenly labeled Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce‘s relationship with Swift and sent her fans into a frenzy.

As the Chiefs faced a third-and-long, quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed a 23-yard pass to Kelce, which resulted in the first down. Romo and play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz expressed their amazement at the play.

“That’s amazing,” Romo exclaimed as the cameras showed Swift in the audience. “This is intercepted by most people, as you see Kelce’s wife, Taylor Swift, in the audience – er, I’m sorry.”

“Not yet,” Nantz jokingly responded.

Romo continued to praise Kelce and Mahomes for their ability to find the defense’s weaknesses, which prompted Nantz to humorously ask if Romo had any inside information.

The cameras later returned to Swift’s booth in the second quarter, after the Chiefs scored their first touchdown of the game, and captured Swift high-five and hug people in her box above the field.

Swift has been seen at games with Brittany Mahomes, Mahomes’ wife.

Swift arrived at Arrowhead Stadium just before the Bills took the field. Players from the Bills noticed the pop star as she walked by them in a black outfit with “Chiefs” written in large red letters on her shirt. This marked Swift’s sixth Chiefs game of the year and her fourth at Arrowhead Stadium. In a recent interview with Time magazine, Swift mentioned that she isn’t concerned about the fans who criticize her game appearances.

NBC’s Mike Tirico also began to feature Swift at the games and noted that it helped broaden the audience. He shared that his daughter’s friends who watched the game thought it was cool and emphasized the broadcaster’s goal to appeal to a wide range of viewers –  celebrities like Swift don’t distract from the game itself and can help grow the overall audience.
