According to meteorologist Adam Krueger’s professional opinion, love is definitely in the air following Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s engagement.
Ahead of his latest viral forecast, the Los Angeles weatherman received a bombardment of requests from Swifties that he incorporate the pop star’s 2008 smash “Love Story” into his next report. Considering the fact that Swift announced her engagement to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end on Tuesday, it’s not hard to guess why.
Rising to the challenge, Krueger — who is known for paying tribute to various hit songs in his forecast — snuck several different “Love Story” lyrics into his on-air appearance, clips of which he posted to Instagram on Wednesday (Aug. 27). “I close my eyes and the flashback starts, I’m standing there on a balcony in summer air — sweaty,” he said when giving an update on the area’s heat. “That’s how hot it was.”
“With heavy rain and strong winds — like Romeo, who was throwing pebbles — with a little bit of small hail coming down,” he continued, gesturing to a storm pattern on his screen. “All there’s left to do is run through the temperatures now.”
It was kismet that Krueger also had tropical storm “Juliette” to report on. Playing on the lyric, “And my daddy said, ‘Stay away from Juliet,’” he warned that those who are nearby the dangerous weather event should “Stay away” from Juliette as much as possible.
It’s not the first time the anchor — whose other recent weather-report themes have included KATSEYE, Kendrick Lamar and Eminem — has paid tribute to Swift. In January 2024, he devoted a forecast to her hit single “Karma,” similar to a Welsh meteorologist who gave a Swift-themed forecast that June to celebrate the Eras Tour coming to Wales.
What makes Krueger’s latest address particularly impressive, though, is how quickly he turned it around. The presenter posted his video just one day after Swift and Kelce shared their big news by posting photos of the athlete down on one knee and the 14-time Grammy winner showing off her massive diamond ring, writing, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
