Fans couldn't help but notice the similarities between the pop star and football star's unlikely romance and the plot of the hit Disney Channel movie 'High School Musical.'

The romance between Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift has taken the world by storm, and at this point, there is absolutely no avoiding it.

And while some may be focused on how often the singer shows up during an NFL broadcast or the logistics of her making it to Las Vegas in time for the Super Bowl after finishing a concert in Japan, others can't help but point out their relationship is something straight out of a romantic comedy.


Some believe the plot of this rom-com is all too familiar.

It started when the Grammy winner had to attend the Golden Globes on January 7 instead of cheering on her beau and the rest of the Kansas City Chiefs, as she was nominated for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement for her film Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour.

A user on X, formerly Twitter, pointed out her predicament eerily paralleled the storyline of High School Musical, in which Gabriella's academic decathlon took place at the same time as Troy's championship basketball game.

And when Taylor was there to rush the field and celebrate the Chief's victory over the Baltimore Ravens, sending them to the Super Bowl, fans took notice.

Further proving their point is the fact that Swift has a concert in Japan the night before Kelce plays for another NFL championship.

All the buzz surrounding the HSM plot even had Gabriella herself—or Vanessa Hudgens, who played her in the films—chiming in.

In response to an Entertainment Tonight post on the subject shared on Instagram, the actor commented:

"Hilarious"

And they completely agreed with her that fans' observations are both hilarious and accurate.

We guess we'll have to wait until February 11 to see how it all plays out for Troy and Gabriella Taylor and Travis.

Trump Roasted After Sharing Quote Praising Him For Winning 'His First Nobel Prize'—And Yeah, Nope

President Donald Trump was widely mocked after he published a Truth Social post in which he quoted Energy Secretary Chris Wright, who claimed this year's Nobel Prize in physics is by an extension a win for the Trump administration.

The Nobel Foundation awarded this year's physics prize to John Clarke (UC Berkeley), Michel H. Devoret (Yale and UC Santa Barbara), and John M. Martinis (UC Santa Barbara and Qolab) for “the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunneling and energy quantization in an electric circuit."

CEO predicts society accepts robot death

In 2009, Waymo introduced its first fleet of driverless cars, sleek pods equipped with sensors, AI, and a “Sense, Solve, Go” system designed to navigate roads autonomously without human input. According to the company, its robotaxis now experience 91 percent fewer crashes and 91 percent fewer serious injuries than human drivers over the same distances.

But even as Waymo brags about its spotless stats, co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana is already bracing for the inevitable: the first fatality caused by one of its cars, and she thinks society will accept it.

Prince Harry Had The Perfect Response When Asked If He Can Do An American Accent—And It Was Actually Pretty Good

Americans are fascinated by hearing people from other countries "drop" their accents and emulate an American one.

For example, it's always interesting to see a British or Australian actor in a movie where they're portraying an American character, but while they might veil their natural accent, they sometimes emulate an American accent from a different part of the country than what would make sense for their character.

Democratic Senate Candidate Blasts Trump Administration With Reality Check Over Their Withholding Of SNAP Funding

If you ask pretty much any conservative, they will tell you that the government shutdown and all its blowback is entirely the Democrats' fault.

This includes the cancellation of SNAP benefits, or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program previously known as "food stamps," beginning in November, which will cut off access to food to millions of people.
