She had joined boyfriend Travis Kelce at the annual Tight End University training summit, which he co-founded with NFL players George Kittle and Greg Olsen so players across the league could network and share techniques.
This year, the three-day event has doubled as a surprise viral moment for the Swifties. In a clip that has since gone viral, the pop star is seen singing 2014 track ‘Shake It Off’ with an acoustic guitar at the event’s opening night afterparty at Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl.
Her brief appearance wasn’t officially announced, with DJ Mike Fresh later taking to Instagram to say of the moment: “There are Monday fun days, and then there are Monday fun days when Taylor Swift is in the building partying to your set” (via Billboard).

Earlier this month, Kelce shared that he would like to DJ at Swift’s live shows in the future.
While she wrapped her titanically successful ‘Eras World Tour’ last December, it hasn’t stopped Kelce from telling listeners to his New Heights podcast that he wants to be out there on stage with her when she does hit the road again.
Referencing his own successful DJ career, in which he performs under the name DJ Diesel, podcast guest Shaq had said: “You know what [would be] crazy? You opening up with your girlfriend. Bro, you’d be a fucking star. Ten minutes hyping up the crowd, oh my god.”
Travis responded: “Come on, you know I’m a hype man. Get it rocking in there. Have the Swifties bouncing off the walls before T gets out there.”
Imagine you’re just in Nashville on a business trip or vacation… and Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift casually walk out of a regular bar. 😅

Kelce has joined Swift on stage once already – during the ‘Tortured Poets Department’ segment of one of her Wembley Stadium shows in June 2024, Kelce lifted her off her feet while dressed as one of her regular backing dancers. As he placed her on her seat, and shook her awake, he dusted her off and got Swift ready to perform ‘I Can Do It With A Broken Heart’.
Swift has attended the last two Super Bowls to support Kelce, helping the 2024 game become the most-watched broadcast in US TV history since the 1969 moon landing.
In other news, Swift recently bought back the master recordings for her first six studio albums after a years-long struggle. “All of the music I’ve ever made…now belongs…to me,” she wrote in an emotional Instagram post. Some Swifties believe they spotted a potential clue in the post that she was even hinting at a new album too.
More recently, a judge has allowed Justin Baldoni to obtain text messages shared between Blake Lively and Swift as part of the discovery process in the court case between the former It Ends With Us co-stars.
