Fans of Chicago Fire know the cast brings serious talent to the screen—and it’s not just in firefighting. Many cast members are talented performers: Joe Minoso has some serious dance moves, while Kara Killmer, Hanako Greensmith, and Miranda Rae Mayo can all hold their own vocally. So, where does Taylor Kinney fit in when it comes to musical talents? Let’s just say we’re still waiting to find out. A recent video suggests he could be a great singer, but the world may never know—thanks to his dedication to lunch.
Taylor Kinney: A Triple Threat?
Kinney, known for his role as Lieutenant Kelly Severide on Chicago Fire, attempted to showcase his vocal chops in a TikTok clip shared by a fan account. In the video, he tries singing alongside Miranda Rae Mayo, who plays his on-screen wife Stella Kidd. The twist? Kinney is mid-bite, trying to belt out a tune while chewing, making it impossible to tell if he’s got the pipes to match his charisma. It’s hilarious, and Kinney’s earnest effort makes it all the more endearing. Kinney’s fans can watch the video here and judge for themselves whether he’s a singing sensation in hiding—or just a hungry actor enjoying a meal.
Can’t Sing? No Problem – Kinney’s Got Moves
While Kinney’s singing abilities might be questionable due to his snack-time performance, his dancing skills are undisputed. He’s been caught on camera showing off his dance moves, and fans can attest to his surprising rhythm and confidence. In fact, he and Joe Minoso would make a dream team on the dance floor. Could there be a potential musical episode of Chicago Fire in the future where Kinney and Minoso bring their talents together? With Kinney’s moves and Minoso’s energy, the cast could give fans a surprise duet worth petitioning for.
Laughter Is Just Part of the Job at Chicago Fire
Kinney’s attempt to sing is more than just comedy—it’s a reminder of the playful spirit on set. Kara Killmer, who starred as paramedic Sylvie Brett for a decade, recently shared with NBC Insider how humor is a core part of the show’s culture. Killmer said that a big part of what keeps the team connected is their lighthearted approach to work, which show creator Dick Wolf encourages, making sure the cast keeps a “good sense of humor.”
The fun atmosphere is apparent not only in Kinney’s comical singing attempts but in the frequent behind-the-scenes laughs shared by the cast. They may be portraying first responders dealing with life-and-death situations, but their genuine camaraderie brings a refreshing balance to the series.
More Fun Moments to Come?
With a cast so connected and light-hearted, fans of Chicago Fire can likely expect more moments like this, where the actors give us a peek at their off-camera personalities.
