Taylor Swift performing on stage

Taylor Swift had the time of her life at Tight End University.

The global icon, songwriter, and Nashvillian surprised fans with an impromptu performance during Tuesday’s annual Tight End University concert in Nashville.

Swift has been in her adopted hometown all week to support her partner, NFL star Travis Kelce, while his Tight End University (TEU) player camp is being held at Vanderbilt University.

Taking to the stage—for the first time since the end of the Eras Tour—alongside Kane Brown, Taylor performed her hit “Shake It Off.”

“See the one thing tight ends have in common with Nashville musicians,” she said on stage as seen in footage from the event, “is we’re all friends, right? We would like to dedicate this to our favorite players, who are going play, and these are the tight ends.”


Now in its fifth year, TEU was founded by George Kittle, Kelce, and Greg Olsen to help train tight ends and build a community. At least 80 players and their partners attend the annual event in Music City.

This was Taylor Swift’s first performance since the end of her record-shattering Eras Tour last year.

Taylor Swift Suffered Her First Loss During 2025 NFL Season

Taylor Swift is a good luck charm to the Kansas City Chiefs.

When Taylor Swift attends Kansas City Chiefs games, the team has a very strong record. They are 19-3 overall when she is in the stands, and they were previously undefeated in the postseason with her.

The only loss she endured was the Super Bowl in New Orleans, when the Chiefs were run out of the building. Most teams would love a 1-1 record in the big game like she has.

Outside of the playoffs, Swift is still riding a 14-game winning streak.

Now, that he no longer has to attend concerts on her tour, she can probably attend every game during the 2025 season, including road games, something she avoided in 2024.
