The power ofTaylor SwiftandTravis Kelce’s relationship has even reachedZac Efron.
Efron, 36, recently fielded a question fromE! Newsabout perceived similarities between 34-year-old Swift’s relationship with Super Bowl champion and NFL star Kelce, also 34, and the plot of Efron’s famous Disney movieHigh School Musical.
Efron rose to fame on the back of the 2006 Disney Channel musical, in which he played Troy Bolton, a high school basketball star who falls in love with fellow student Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens). Gabriella is seen in the movies cheering on Troy during the team’s basketball games, similar to Swift’spresence at the recent Super Bowlin Las Vegas as Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs won the NFL championship.
“Wow, I didn’t think about that,” Efron, who was promoting his upcoming movieRicky Stanicky, said. “That’s really cool. Shout out to all theHigh School Musicalfans.”

The threeHigh School Musicalfilms follow a blending of worlds at the fictional East High School in Albuquerque, New Mexico, as Efron and Hudgens' characters contend with their friends from the basketball and theater world’s disapproval of their choice to bridge the gap between the court and the stage.
“I love the whole Travis, Taylor thing. Man, I’m so happy for them,” Efron added to the outlet. “They’re two of the best people in the world. How can you not be stoked?”
