Vanessa Hudgens Reacts To Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce HSM Comparisons

Vanessa Hudgens has responded to the comparisons between High School Musical and Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship.

Swifties noted the similarities on Jan. 8, when Swift, who’s attended Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs football games throughout the season, missed one to attend the 81st Golden Globe Awards.

While some were surprised by Swift’s absence, she had good reason to skip the event: Her Eras Tour concert film was nominated for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement.

“The Chiefs game and the Golden Globes being within hours of each other reminds me of when Troy and Gabriella had the basketball game and the academic decathlon at the same time as the audition for the school musical,” one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter) at the time.

“They’re so insanely Troy and Gabriella coded,” another Swiftie wrote.

Vanessa’s “Hilarious” Response

Hudgens, who played Gabriella Montez in the Disney musical, soon caught wind of the fan comparisons. “Hilarious,” she wrote under an Entertainment Tonight Instagram post.

High School Musical, which was released on the Disney Channel in 2006, follows A+ student Gabriella Montez (Hudgens) and star athlete Troy Bolton (Zac Efron) who, despite their differences, fall in love and secretly audition for East High’s musical.

The film spawned two sequels, 2007’s High School Musical 2 and 2008’s High School Musical 3: Senior Year. In 2019, the Olivia Rodrigo-led spinoff, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, debuted on Disney+.
