Fear not, Ole Miss Rebel faithful: Katy Perry keeps riding with you.

More specifically, the pop star, the iconic (and extravagant) appearance of College GameDay, is still ingrained in the minds of college football fans – and anyone who dares to eat a corn dog. seven years later, aboard the Lane Train.

This is not rat poison, they are just facts.

On Monday night, Kiffin posted a video asking Rebels fans to support his team at the opening gate against Austin Peay governors on Saturday. The coach, who had to watch Ole Miss take a 1-0 lead away from home after giving COVID-19 a positive, limited his enthusiastic plea by calling on the “Teenage Dream” singer to return his talents in “The ‘Sip.”

On Thursday, Perry answered the call, adding a request of his own and proving that Trevor Knight is seven years ago.

Given how QB Matt Corral appeared in Week 1 with a stellar pass (22 of 32, 381 yards, TD) and a calculated run (12 rushes, 55 yards, TD), it’s hard to blame her.

The intrepid Kiffin was clearly pleased with the response from the “California Gurl,” who added his own response with an emoji.

Lane Kiffin, corn dogs and a QB hoping for Heisman from California? If there was ever a time for Katy Perry to make her come back triumphant in The Grove, it’s something that seems like it is.
