Cop caught on video listening to Taylor Swift while racing to an emergency

Taylor Swift’s music may have helped police get to a medical emergency, or at least given him some tunes as he raced to the scene.

The cop, who was going to a call that required urgent assistance, decided to blast out one of Taylor Swift’s hits on his way. The dashcam footage shows the early morning roads fly by as the policeman tries to get to the person in need as fast as he can. Taylor seems to help the situation as it wasn’t one of her slow hits he decided to play.

Police listen to Taylor Swift’s music while traveling to emergency

In the video obtained by TMZ, Taylor Swift’s discography can be heard in the background as the police officer responds to a medical emergency. Their song of choice was Cruel Summer, which has been going viral recently all over social media, particularly TikTok.

Ironically, the authoritative figure was traveling to help the NFL owner (in case you missed it, Tay Tay is dating Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce) Jim Irsay during a health scare he had in December.

The footage was recorded at around 4.30 am and the cam captured the policeman weaving in and out of traffic as well as accelerating to high speeds; he also went through at least one red light. Cops undergo strict vehicle training they utilize when permitted to drive with sirens and lights.

At one point, he goes at his fastest speed as Taylor sings: “He looks up grinning like a devil / It’s new!”

At least three other cops rushed to the scene – though they weren’t listening to any tunes – where they found Irsay “gasping for air” in his bed and though they struggled initially to give him treatment, he survived and is still recovering.

Police hunt stolen Eras Tour poster

This isn’t the first time Taylor Swift has been somehow linked with the police recently – though the other incident doesn’t involve her music. Instead, it has to do with a stolen movie theater poster.

Taking to Facebook, cops in Tulsa shared they were looking for a man who took the poster featuring the celebrity from its frame and called the act “a little extreme.”

They wrote: “On 11/12/2023, the person in the photos, wearing a black “Billy Strings” cap entered the AMC Theatre at 8207 S Olympia Ave.

“The subject went to the Taylor Swift Concert movie then, on the way out, proceeds to steal a 6’ x 4’ poster outside the theater room. While this may seem relatively juvenile and benign, it caused thousands of dollars of damage to the poster frame.”

They continued: “Whether you love T. Swift or not, it’s not cool to destroy other people’s things and abscond with stuff that doesn’t belong to you.”

The CCTV picture they included shows a bearded man with the stolen item in his hands. He wore a Billy Strings snapback as part of his outfit.
