The Baltimore Ravens took full advantage of their first possible opportunity to troll Taylor Swift during the AFC Championship game.
When a Zay Flowers touchdown helped tie the game at 7-7 in the first quarter, the Ravens busted out a touchdown celebration mocking one of the Kansas City Chiefs’ favorite traditions: swag surfin’.
Why did the Ravens do the Swag Surf celebration?
The song Swag Surfin’ by Fast Life Yungstaz and its classic dance are often played at sports events. In particular, Kansas City has a tradition of playing the song when the team needs a boost at a key point in the game, making it one of the Chiefs players’ favorite songs.
“Since I’ve been here, it’s been a huge fourth quarter, big time moment, big time drive in the game for our defense,” Travis Kelce explained on the New Heights Podcast.
“They play a video that has Swag Surf on it as the song, and it gets everybody hype.”
Taylor Swift brought new attention to the trend when she was seen swag surfing alongside Donna Kelce and Brittany Mahomes in the Chiefs’ first playoff game against the Dolphins, one of many team traditions she has caught onto.
The Ravens knew how to hit Kansas City where it hurt, and the internet rejoiced over their pettiness shown in the touchdown dance.
“This is how you swag surf btw not that BS that I’ve been seeing the past couple of weeks,” a user on Twitter/X said.
