Austin Hooper accidentally embarrasses himself with Taylor Swift oops in viral Tight End University video
Dec 15, 2024; Glendale, Arizona, USA; New England Patriots tight end Austin Hooper (81) against the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium.

With Taylor Swift being such a big part of Tight End University this year, it's only fitting that some of the participants were asked about their favorite song of hers. 

Rob Gronkowski said "Shake It Off," while Kelce went with "So High School," which is a song Swift wrote about the Kansas City Chiefs tight end. George Kittle said his favorite is "Love Story," while another popular answer was "22." 

But, when it was Austin Hooper's turn he answered a little too quickly. 

"Party in the USA," he said before being quickly called out that he picked a Miley Cyrus song instead of a Taylor Swift song. 

Seems like Hooper has to refresh himself on Swift's discography. 

Travis Kelce shocks fans with his answer about favorite Taylor Swift song at Tight End University

Travis Kelce has made it very clear that he is a big fan of Taylor Swift's hit song, "Blank Space," from her album 1989. He's even gone as far to say it's his favorite in the past.

But recently, when he was asked about his favorite Taylor Swift song during Tight End University, Kelce switched up his answer.

"So High School," the Chiefs tight end said and was asked to sing it. "I’m nervous. You’re making me nervous!” 

And fans couldn't get enough of this.

"Not so high school beating blank space," one fan wrote.

"SO HIGH SCHOOL PASSED BLANK SPACE," another fan commented.

"It’s been a good run Blank Space but all good things must come to an end," a fan joked.

It's fitting that "So High School" from her album The Tortured Poets Department has become the favorite, especially considering it's a song Swift wrote about Kelce.

When the song was first released, Swift has numerous lines that people quickly realized were about Kelce.

  • "You know how to ball, I know Aristotle."
  • Are you gonna marry, kiss, or kill me (Kill me) / It's just a game, but really (Really) / I'm bettin' on all three for us two (All three)
  • I feel like laughing in the middle of practice / To that impression you did of your dad again

And then, she added this song to her Eras Tour setlist, which had numerous references to the tight end just based on the dance moves and the lights.

The singer and the rest of the dancers appear to be on bleachers, with red and yellow lights flashing through the stadium. And Swift and her backup dancers even were swag surfing, which is a popular dance that is heavily associated with the Chiefs. Then, she did Kelce's iconic Archer pose.

Both answers would have worked but this one is just a little sweeter given the context.
