A meteorologist's Taylor Swift-themed weather report has delighted the internet.
Adam Krueger, chief meteorologist at CW39 Houston, has been making followers smile with his music-inspired forecasts, with videos featuring tracks from the likes of Usher, Blink-182, Lil Jon, Metallica and the Jonas Brothers.
For his Swift-inspired weather report, Krueger used the pop star's track "Karma," from her 2022 album Midnights.
The video begins with Krueger singing along to the song in his car, before cutting to him standing in front of a green screen in the CW39 Houston studio.
"With the rain departing today, it's back to dry weather," Krueger begins his broadcast.
"It's coming back around," he adds, quoting a line from "Karma."
"When it comes to street flooding, the storm drains are crucial. They need to be free of debris," Krueger says, resuming his weather report, before dropping the "Karma" line: "Which is why I keep my side of the street clean."
"I think after this wet week we've earned some good karma," Krueger continues, throwing in the Swift lyrics "karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend" and "karma's a relaxing thought."
"Notice how this line of storms goes from a linear shape to sort of bowing out, flexing like an acrobat a little bit as it goes through Louisiana," Krueger says, adding: "flexing like an acrobat," another line from Karma.
Quoting Swift again as he discusses heavy rain in Texas, Krueger concludes his broadcast with the line: "let's go through this step-by-step, from town-to-town."
Newsweek has reached out to Krueger for comment via Instagram and Swift via email.
Kruger's 1.5 million Instagram followers found the video hilarious, with user Caitlyn Clyne demanding "Someone give this man his Emmy."
"Iconic," commented Cassie.
"This is PURE TALENT," said Annelee Grace.
"Karma is my favorite weatherman comin thru again!!" wrote Cecelia.
"This man's ability to stay dead serious while saying this makes me feel like I can accomplish anything I put my heart to," said Joy Schultz.
"It just got better and better!!!" commented Marybeth Johnson.
"I thoroughly enjoy these. All of them," said Grace Cope. "Thank you for what you do."
Swift recently made her own on-stage tweak to "Karma" to serenade her football star boyfriend Travis Kelce.
While performing in Argentina in September, the music icon changed the original line of "karma is the guy on the screen, coming straight home to me" to "karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me."
The 34-year-old began dating the Kansas City Chiefs tight end in July. Kelce was watching the show from a V.I.P. tent alongside the singer's father, Scott Swift, with the moment publicly confirming the relationship for the first time.
