A video claiming a professor cancelled a midterm examination so that he and the students could celebrate the big announcement breaking the internet - Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement - is going viral on social media. In the video, the teacher playfully announces that the test is cancelled as he cannot focus, adding that his students must be feeling the same emotions. However, it is a skit where associate professor Matthew Pittman breaks the news in his class.

Due to this information, I can’t focus, you all can’t focus, class is cancelled, get out of here.” As soon as the professor says this, the students start cheering and running out of the classroom.
