Vanessa Hudgens has responded to the chorus of fans comparing Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s romance to High School Musical.
Taylor has been a repeated presence in the VIP box at Travis’ NFL games, sending fans to paroxysms of delight while cheering her boyfriend on.
The dynamic has inspired delirious comparisons to Troy Bolton (Zac Efron) and Gabriella Montez (Vanessa) in High School Musical, in which he is the star basketball player and she is a bookish member of the Scholastic Decathlon team.
In particular, the social media comments zeroed in on January 7, the night Taylor had to skip Travis’ football game in order to attend the Golden Globes.
Fans compared the moment to the sequence in High School Musical where Gabriella’s academic decathlon and Troy’s game occur on the same night as the school musical audition – and now, Vanessa herself has added her voice to the mix.

The comparisons between the Taylor-Travis romance and High School Musical reached a fever pitch following their on-field PDA celebration on Sunday.

Completely in awe of the couple, fans swarmed X, formerly known as Twitter to highlight the comparison.

Other images from the celebration showed Swift whispering into Kelce’s ear though it’s unclear what she may have said in that exchange.
Swift was wearing her hair in her Reputation-era curls, while also donning a cherry red Guest in Residence sweater.
During the game, she was spotted in one of the luxury suites, taking in the game with Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Also in the suite was Keleigh Sperry and Cara Delevingne as they cheered on the Chiefs and Kelce, who caught 11 passes for 116 yards against the Ravens.
After the game when the Chiefs punched their ticket to Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday, February 11, Swift was seen walking onto the field with Travis’ parents, Donna and Ed.
She ultimately made her way to Travis as they embraced several times on the field and shared a few kisses as well.

The pop star will most certainly be a presence in the luxury suites at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, the home of Super Bowl LVIII.
However, the star may be quite tired, since, just a day earlier, she’ll be performing the last of three shows at the famous Tokyo Dome in Japan.
Taylor kicks off the next international leg of The Eras tour with four straight shows from February 7-10.
She’ll have nearly two weeks off after the four Tokyo shows to potentially celebrate a Super Bowl win, with the AFC champion Chiefs facing the NFC champion San Francisco 49ers.
Taylor doesn’t hit the road again until February 23, where she will perform four shows in ‘s Accor Stadium.
The tour will keep her on the road internationally for most of the year, with small breaks in between, with the tour wrapping up December 6-8 at BC Place in Vancouver.
The tour kicked off last March and made history by becoming the first tour ever to gross over $1 billion from 60 shows in 2023.
