‘Best hot mic ever,’ Ingham Co. dispatcher accidentally broadcasts Taylor Swift engagement

LANSING, Mich. (WILX) - Ingham County dispatchers are tasked with relaying important information to first responders in the field.

For one dispatcher, that also means pop culture news. At least accidentally.

An Ingham County dispatcher accidentally left their microphone on as they read aloud the biggest news in music: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement.

The hot mic moment was met with laughter and teasing from first responders.

“Best hot mic ever,” one voice said.

Ingham Dispatch uploaded a clip of the accidental announcement. You can see that in the player above:
