In a recent episode of the podcast "New Heights" hosted by NFL player Jason and Travis Kelce, comedian Andrew Santino reminisced about a 2012 episode of MTV's "Punk'd" that involved Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber. The prank, which left Swift feeling traumatized and terrified, has resurfaced as Santino, Kelce, and Swift herself discussed the memorable experience.
During the episode, Bieber invited Swift to his swanky Malibu recording studio overlooking the ocean. As they prepared to record, a friend of Bieber's suggested lighting fireworks from the deck into the ocean. Initially hesitant, Swift was convinced to participate. Little did she know, the fireworks ignited a nearby boat, causing it to catch fire.
Santino vividly recalled the aftermath of the prank, where he played the groom aboard the burning boat. He and the "wedding party" were dinghy-ed ashore, placing the blame on Swift for ruining their special day. Kelce expressed his amusement, calling the prank "so good" and giggling through the retelling.
The "Punk'd" episode showcased Swift's genuine distress and concern for the boat and its passengers. She even suggested calling the Coast Guard for help. Swift later admitted feeling sincerely upset with Bieber for subjecting her to the ordeal, as Santino revealed during his conversation with Kelce.
Though Swift has maintained her belief in the prank's authenticity, both Santino and Kelce wondered if she truly believed she had set a boat on fire and ruined a couple's wedding. Kelce even expressed his intention to ask Swift to clarify her perception of the event.
In a previously conducted interview with CMT Insider via MTV, Swift described the incident as traumatic and terrifying. However, she admitted that she would not seek revenge on Bieber, as she believed he was too smart and would turn the tables on her in a prank war.
As the discussion concluded, Kelce admitted to being personally entertained by the "Punk'd" prank and stated that he bought into Swift's genuine reaction during the episode. The 2012 incident between Bieber and Swift remains a memorable and controversial moment in both their careers.
It's clear that the "Punk'd" prank had a lasting impact on Taylor Swift, leaving her traumatized and hesitant to engage in such pranks. As fans continue to reminisce about the 2012 episode, the question remains: will Bieber and Swift ever engage in a prank war? Only time will tell.
