Taylor Swift surprised fans with an unannounced performance of “Shake It Off” at Travis Kelce’s Tight End University concert in Nashville. The singer joined the event’s lineup as a guest performer, stepping onstage in black boots, a mini skirt, and her signature fringe, with guitar in hand.
Held as part of the multi-day Tight End University programme, the concert brought together NFL tight ends including Kelce, George Kittle, and Greg Olsen. Before launching into her 2014 hit, Swift made a playful reference to “the tight ends,” nodding to the players behind the event.
Footage shared on social media captured Kelce cheering her on from the side of the stage, clicking along and shouting “Hell yeah” as the song wrapped.
Earlier that evening, Swift arrived at the venue with Kelce, best friend Abigail Anderson, and Anderson’s husband Charles Berard. The appearance followed the couple’s red carpet debut at the event’s opening night party, where they held hands and posed for photos together.
In another moment from the evening, Swift and Kelce were seen singing and dancing to “Love Story,” adding to the celebratory feel of the event. Tight End University also featured appearances from NFL stars and celebrities including Isaiah Likely, Jeremy Ruckert, and Theo Von.
Now in its fifth year, Tight End University blends athletic training with team bonding and entertainment. Swift’s performance added a personal touch to the event, and her support of Kelce was welcomed by fans of both music and sport.
