Fans at the Tennessee-Kentucky game at Neyland Stadium got an amazing surprise Saturday when what started as an argument quickly became one of the most viral moments in recent football history.
In a video posted on social media, a security guard can be seen standing right in the way of the Tennessee Vols Dance Team’s performance. One of the dancers even falls into the security guard and shoves him, starting what looks like a fight.
She quickly stormed off the grass and grabbed one of the coaches or players (I don’t know anything about Tennessee/Kentucky football) and got him to yell at the security guard. The guard fights back for a second, before things take a very, very interesting turn. Check it out:

Okay so clearly this isn’t a real security guard. His name is Michael Galyean, and he’s an aspiring actor and dancer, according to WBIR. He was approached by the dance team’s coach, Kelly Tafazzoli, to take part in the stunt. (RELATED: Can Someone Give This Woman And Her Emu A Show Please?)
“I see the shift in the crowd going, ‘Why are you in the way?'” Galyean told the outlet. “And then when it flipped, their reaction was just such genuine shock and excitement. To see the joy that’s bringing other people … and that’s one of my main goals daily is just to make people smile.”
If you want to give someone you love a smile today, or even a stranger, send them this video or this other amazingly hilarious cure for the Mondays/Tuesdays. We could all do with being a little more like Galyean these days, don’t ya reckon?
