There is no doubt that Taylor Swift has the Midas touch. On her most recent visit to Arrowhead Stadium, the singer joined the crowd to chant Fast Life Yungstaz’s (FLY) hit Swag Surfin’ and now, the song is on everyone’s lips.

FLY is usually considered a one-hit wonder. The group released a single studio in 2009 and only one of its songs appeared on the Billboard Hot 100; that song was Swag Surfin’, which peaked at number 62, although it reached number 12 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.

FLY is usually considered a one-hit wonder. The group released a single studio album, Jamboree, in 2009 and only one of its songs appeared on the Billboard Hot 100; that song was Swag Surfin’, which peaked at number 62, although it reached number 12 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.

Although the song is quite familiar to sports fans, as it is constantly played in large stadiums, it is relatively unknown to the rest of the world.

That was until Taylor Swift sang the song at Arrowhead during the Super Wild Card game between the Miami Dolphins and the Kansas City Chiefs.

The group, also known by its acronym FLY, was founded in 2009 in Stone Mountain, Georgia. The members are best known by their nicknames: Myco McFly, Vee, and Mook.

In addition to Jamboree, the group released two mixtapes in 2010: Mile Hi Club, where they collaborated with DJ Pretty Boy Tank and DJ Geronimo, and Auto-Pilot, where they also featured DJ PBT.

The group is still active and constantly publishes images of their performances on their Instagram profile, but they have not released another album.

As happened with the green dress she wore to the Golden Globes ceremony, FLY’s catchy tune left its relative corner in sports stadiums to become a trending topic on social media.

The song is a common tune in large stadiums, but it is also a kind of unofficial anthem for the Chiefs. Kansas City players often ask the sound guys at Arrowhead for the tune when they feel like they need an extra boost.

Something similar happened towards the end of Dolphins-Chiefs, when the home sound played the tune, and the entire stadium began to move from side to side. As has happened since she started going to stadiums to support her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, Swift was immediately captured by cameras moving to the rhythm of the song.

At that time, Kansas City had already secured the game, with the score 26-7 in its favor, but the song served as a victory dance. Taylor joining the celebration was just the icing on the cake.
