Lane Kiffin is getting asked the hard questions this week in preparation of facing Texas A&M on the road in College Station. One question, however, might be more important that the rest.
What’s Kiffin’s favorite song off the new Taylor Swift album?
Of course the 3rd-year coach is a “Swifty” and can’t stop listening to the new hits off “Midnights.” As for his favorite bop? Kiffin took to Twitter to announce “Karma” was the go-to hit.
The reasoning? Come back and find out after a win.
It’s “Karma” but didn’t want to tell you why yet. Will explain later ?@taylorswift13 @gnybarra https://t.co/HTLVi0bAsN

Kiffin, who has been known for his trolling techniques on social media, could be pulling off the ultimate hit with this one. The Rebels are set to take on Jimbo Fisher and the Aggies this Saturday at Kyle Field. Since the offseason, Kiffin has been very tongue in cheek when discussing A&M and its recent recruiting tactics.
In February, Kiffin said that A&M might have to “pay a luxury tax” because of how much money the Aggies were rumored to have raised for NIL deals. During the spat between Fisher and Alabama coach Nick Saban, Kiffin publicly defended the 7-time national champion on Twitter, often making posts on Fisher’s comments.
The Aggies, who currently are below .500 for the 1st time in the Fisher era, are trending down despite paying their coach $9.5 million a season. One could consider it ‘karma’ right?
Could this be what Kiffin means by “will explain later?”
