Keegan-Michael Key, the host of the NFL Honors, couldn't resist mentioning the high-profile relationship between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce during the league's annual end-of-season award ceremony. Key highlighted the fact that Kelce isn't the first NFL player to date a pop star, referencing Russell Wilson and Ciara, as well as Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson. However, the Romo-Simpson relationship caused drama and controversy, with some fans blaming their presence for the Dallas Cowboys' struggles in the 2008 season. The couple eventually broke up when Romo discovered that Simpson was still in touch with her ex, John Mayer.

Despite this, Romo has been supportive of Swift and Kelce's relationship, expressing his hopes for them to get married. Key also made jokes about the Carolina Panthers and former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick during the event. Only time will tell if Swift and Kelce's relationship will be a success like Wilson and Ciara's, or if it will become a bad memory for Cowboys fans, like Romo and Simpson.
