The actor remembered, “There was a wedding party [on board].”

“As the groom, we blamed her for ruining our wedding as we dinghy-ed to shore with our boat on fire.”

As Santino played out the joke again, 34-year-old Kelce burst out laughing and stated he “had to ask Tay about that.”

She then claimed that the event had “traumatized” her.

Claiming that he “know[s] she bought it,” Santino described the practical joke as “the perfect bit that worked.”

“Some of the bits were so wild they didn’t work,” he continued. But the reason hers was so good was that so many things worked together. They don’t always unite in that manner.

Swift said at the time to CMT Insider that the event had left her “absolutely traumatized and terrifieʀ.”

The pop singer didn’t think she was capable of pulling a practical joke on Bieber again.

Regarding the throwback episode, Kelce wishes to “ask” Swift.

The “Fortnight” singer clarified that she was not “really that girl” when asked if she intended to get back at Bieber, who is now 30 years old, for participating in the practical joke.

“He’s too smart,” she said to the outlet. I could never hit him with a punch. It would be Justin 2, Taylor 0 when he figured it out and turned the tables on me.

In a September 2023 episode of his own podcast, “Whiskey Ginger,” Santino discussed the viral moment and expressed his pride in pulling it off to the audience.
