As the Golden Globes and one of the Chiefs' games were scheduled within hours of each other, a netizen took to X (formerly Twitter) to point out how similar the circumstance was to that of the 'High School Musical'. 

They wrote, "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 music."



 

Hudgens, who played Gabriella in the Disney movie franchise, supposedly reacted to the post by saying, "Hilarious," as per E! News.

Several others took to social media to point out the similarities, with one writing, "Taylor having a concert across the world the same day as travis is playing in the superbowl is so high school musical coded you can't even make this up."

Another enthralled individual noted, "Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce having the Grammys, the Eras Tour Tokyo and the SuperBowl all in one week is literally the plot of high school music but if Gabriella had a jet."
