Star athlete Travis Kelce and Grammy-award winning singer Taylor Swift are channeling major Troy and Gabriella vibes, stirring up memories of our High School Musical days.
Vanessa Hudgens, the Filipino American actress who brought Gabriella to life, couldn’t help but chuckle when fans drew comparisons between Kelce and the “Cruel Summer” performer and the well-loved fictional romance.
The comparison arose when an X (formerly Twitter) user, @TheLuckyMia, pointed out the similarities between Swift and Kelce’s relationship dynamics and scenes from High School Musical.
“The Chiefs game and the Golden Globes being within hours of each other reminds me when Troy and Gabriella had the basketball game and the academic decathlon at the same time as the audition for the school musical,” the tweet humorously noted.

From Swift’s enthusiastic support at Kelce’s games to her jet-setting journey from Tokyo to the Super Bowl just recently, fans couldn’t resist drawing parallels to Gabriella’s balancing act between academics and auditions.
The Fil-Am singer-actress took to Instagram, responding to an Entertainment Tonight post with a simple yet amused remark: “Hilarious.”
During an interview posted on YouTube with the same entertainment outlet, she reiterated her amusement, emphasizing that she finds the comparisons simply “hilarious.”
And it’s not just the “Love Story” singer-songwriter who has found herself in the arms of a star athlete; Hudgens is also basking in romance with baseball player Cole Tucker. While Swift cheers on Kelce, Hudgens said “I do” in Tulum, Mexico, last December.
As fans continue to spot these charming resemblances, it’s clear that the magic of High School Musical isn’t just confined to the screen—it’s sparking laughter and love in the real world too!
