访谈录 2014-10-14&10-16 “水果姐”凯蒂·佩里向NFL球星表白遭拒

 Welcome back now to Katy Perry having some fun with college football fans. The pop superstar making an appearance on ESPN over the weekend, declaring her love for one team's star quarterback, and it's now going viral, of course. 

 

“I'm picking this one based on looks. Trevor Knight¹, do you hear me?”

 

Katy Perry wearing her heart on her fuzzy pink sleeve on ESPN's "College Game Day” Saturday, making a not-so-settled pass for University of Oklahoma QB Trevor Knight.

 

“Trevor knight, call me!”

 

The pop star’s confessed crush on the Sooner soon going viral.

 

“I still love you, Trevor Knight, call me! I love you!”

 

Unfortunately for Perry, it turns out her Knight in shining under-armor is not a free agent. The web lighting² up with pics of the 21-year-old and his girlfriend of more than a year – fellow Sooner Kate Williams. 

 

The chemical engineering major appears to have Knight smitten³, tweeting in August: “Trevor Knight deep cleaned my apartment and brought me flowers. He's perfect.”

 

Knight has yet to address Perry’s advances, but the California girl doesn't appear to be too heart-broken. 

 

“Are you ready?” 

 

Here she is taking in her very first college football game over the weekend, cheering on the sidelines for ole miss and then partying like a college student, even crowd surfing at this bar. And while Trevor's days of playing the field may be over, there is a dark horse now entering the race. Knight's older brother, Tyler, who is single, posting this picture Sunday with a sign that reads “call me”.

 

That’s great.

 

Well played, Tyler, well played. Although when you hold up a cardboard sign, I think it has lots of connotations. We got Tim Tebow here. Tim, if I recall, there were rumors⁴ swirling⁵ a couple of years ago that you and Katy Perry had a thing. You had to come out and deny it, right? 

 

I don't know about that, but I will say, Tyler, good for you. Go after if you want it, Tyler.

 

You know what? That was deftly⁶ played. You just completely avoided the question and wailed⁷ for Tyler. Well done. Well done. 

 

I tried. 

 

Yes, you have a future in media, and much more from you ahead, right?

 

Yeah, I’m looking forward to it.
