Tennessee Professor Viral Video: What happens when classroom stress meets pop culture drama? A viral video is giving the internet the answer. A clip from Tennessee shows a professor telling his students that their biochem midterm is cancelled because he just heard Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged. In the viral video, Associate Professor Matthew Pittman playfully says, “We have a biochem midterm today, but Taylor and Travis just got engaged. Due to this information, I can’t focus, you all can’t focus, class is cancelled, get out of here.” The moment sparks cheers and laughter as students rush out of the room, celebrating the announcement.
Social media went into a frenzy after the clip surfaced. However, it turns out the whole thing was just a fun skit. The Tombras School of AD & PR in Knoxville later shared that the video was part of Professor Pittman’s creative way to bring pop culture into learning. While breaking down the Swift-Kelce buzz from an advertising and PR perspective, he ended with the humorous classroom sketch that went viral.

With a mix of humour, trending news, and smart teaching, the professor showed how even a celebrity engagement rumour can turn into a lesson and a viral moment.
