Alyson Hannigan, renowned for her iconic role in "American Pie," recently shared her excitement over a reference to the film in Taylor Swift's song "So High School." The track is part of Swift's surprise release, "The Anthology," which followed her latest album, "The Tortured Poets Department." This unexpected nod has created a buzz among fans of both the actress and the pop superstar. In this article, we delve into Hannigan's reaction, the context of the song, and the broader impact of such cultural crossovers. Alyson Hannigan The Big Surprise: Taylor Swift’s Album Release The Tortured Poets Department and The Anthology On April 19, Taylor Swift released her highly anticipated album, "The Tortured Poets Department." Fans, including celebrities like Alyson Hannigan, eagerly awaited its arrival. Hannigan, a dedicated Swiftie, made sure to listen to the album uninterrupted by texting her kids to give her some space. To her surprise, Swift released a second album, "The Anthology," the next day, which included the song "So High School." The Song “So High School” "So High School" is a standout track on "The Anthology," capturing the nostalgic and whimsical essence of adolescent romance. The song’s post-chorus includes a reference to the 1999 teen comedy "American Pie," one of Hannigan's breakout roles. The lyrics go: "I’m watching American Pie with you on a Saturday night / Your friends are around, so be quiet / I’m trying to stifle my sighs / ‘Cause I feel so high school every time I look at you / But look at you / Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah." Alyson Hannigan’s Reaction Initial Listening Experience Hannigan shared with Vulture her experience listening to the album. After staying up late to enjoy "The Tortured Poets Department," she woke up to the news of "The Anthology." She eagerly dove into the new album, and when she reached "So High School," she was taken aback by the unexpected reference to "American Pie." Initially thinking she might still be dreaming, she quickly realized it was real and couldn’t contain her excitement. Family and Friends’ Response In her excitement, Hannigan woke up her family to share the news, but they didn’t share her level of enthusiasm. However, a friend matched her energy, and they had a "nice freakout" together. Hannigan humorously remarked that she felt like she was on a date with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, highlighting her playful reaction to the shoutout. Dancing With the Stars Moment Hannigan also reflected on a video she recorded with her "Dancing With the Stars" partner, Sasha Farber, where they danced to "So High School." Farber posted the video on his feed, and Swift liked it, prompting Hannigan to wish it had been on her own feed. This interaction further amplified her excitement and connection to the moment. Cultural Impact of the Reference Nostalgia and Popular Culture The reference to "American Pie" in Swift's song highlights the enduring impact of the film on popular culture. For Hannigan, it was a touching reminder of her early career and the lasting impression her role has made on audiences. This kind of cultural crossover bridges different entertainment mediums and generations, creating a shared moment of nostalgia and joy. Reactions from Fans Swifties and "American Pie" fans alike have responded with enthusiasm to the reference. Social media has been abuzz with posts celebrating the connection, showcasing the power of music and film to unite people through shared cultural touchstones. Alyson Hannigan’s Career Reflections American Pie’s Legacy Reflecting on her career, Hannigan acknowledged that "American Pie" remains a significant part of her identity. Despite her diverse roles in projects like "How I Met Your Mother" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," she often gets recognized for her role in the iconic teen comedy. Hannigan shared that recognition depends on the context, noting that at a football game, it's definitely "American Pie." Intersection with Sports The mention of Travis Kelce, a Kansas City Chiefs tight end, in connection with the song and the film adds an interesting layer to the narrative. Hannigan pointed out that it’s not surprising Kelce might have watched "American Pie," considering its widespread popularity. This intersection of sports, music, and film underscores the pervasive influence of popular culture.

This “leather” costume is a great example of the common practice of having copies or multiples of a specific costume in the film and television industry. 📺 Costume duplicates can be needed for various reasons, including pieces for stunt doubles or variations that need to undergo aging, water damage, rips, tears, etc. Having an additional costume on hand ensures that the costume maintains continuity throughout the scenes if they need to be re-shot or if they are filmed out of order (as is usually the case). 👯‍♀️   This costume appeared in Joss Whedon’s 𝑩𝒖𝒇𝒇𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑽𝒂𝒎𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒆 𝑺𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒆𝒓, 🧛‍♀️ where Alyson Hannigan wore it as Vampire Willow in the 1999 episode 𝑫𝒐𝒑𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒅. Her body double, Jennifer Nicole, can be seen wearing a duplicate of the costume in a behind-the-scenes photo. 👀   The outfit was used again on actress Lindsey Stoddart as Katie Ney in 2006 in an episode of 𝑩𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒔 🦴 entitled 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑴𝒂𝒏 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒐𝒏𝒆, though it is not known if the costume that was utilized was the one worn by Alyson Hannigan or by Jennifer Nicole.   💫 Learn more about this piece on our website! http://bit.ly/PostEd014

S1E04: Teacher’s Pet

Xander’s obvious dream sequence becomes apparent after he saves Buffy from a vamp, performs a guitar solo, and has every intention of kissing her like she’s never been kissed before. Cueing the catalyst for this episode; male infatuation with the opposite sex.

This infatuation will be the downfall of a few as the new substitute teacher Ms. French takes over from the now headless former science teacher Mr. Gregory. When Xander goes to Ms. French’s house for an “assignment” and doesn’t return the following day, Buffy, Willow, and Giles must save idiotic Xander from his testosterone…… and a giant praying mantis.

While this is a pretty cut and dry episode, the best parts are the interactions between Buffy and Angel, the relationship takes itty bitty steps, but it is fascinating to watch and fills us with potential happiness.

S1E02: The Harvest

Episode 2 commences and as Luke is going in for the kill, but he places his hand on Buffy’s chest which coincidentally has the cross adorning it from “a friend”. Thus, resulting in a rather simple escape that is the opening 15 seconds of the episode, thankfully even back in TV days, the first two eps aired back-to-back.

Getting to hear Giles explain how vampires came to be is something that is lacking from practically any vamp film/show, which automatically raises this shows excellence and Giles’ bad-ass-ness. Willow shows hers when Cordelia is, well, Cordelia, but Willow still informs her that to save her computer project she needs to press “deliver”, which we all know what the abbreviation of that would be and also what it would actually do. #bestillmynerdheart

The Harvest, as it turns out, is the process to allow The Master to be freed from his subterranean prison, and to stop this, Buffy needs to kill a vampire with what can only be described as the Mercedes logo on his forehead.

As we will come to realise, Buffy gets the job done and stops The Harvest, and the episode concludes with Giles reminding our beloved teens that this will not be the last time that this will happen and that they should be prepared for more to come, in true teenage fashion they wave it off and walk off talking about how their lives could REALLY end, and with that Giles says to himself “the earth is doomed”.

Cue Credits.
