If there’s a guitar in sight, Swift will play it.
Swift has been in Nashville supporting her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, at Tight End University.
Kelce and his fellow TEU co-founders, George Kittle and Greg Olsen, hosted Tight Ends & Friends, a benefit concert at Brooklyn Bowl Nashville.
The event advertised Kane Brown, Chase Rice, and other country artists.
Toward the end of Brown’s set, the country artist said he wanted to play a “really cool” song, so the band started playing Swift’s Shake It Off.
“Do you care if I bring out a really, really, really, really special guest?” Brown said to the crowd.
You can guess what happened next.
Swift walked onstage to thunderous applause, grabbed a guitar, and dedicated the song to the tight ends.
“We would like to dedicate this to our favorite players who are going to play,” the 14-time Grammy winner said before electrifying the crowd with her rendition of Shake It Off.
The Tuesday night appearance was Swift’s first concert since The Eras Tour concluded in December. The Eras Tour grossed over $2 billion in revenue, making it the highest-grossing tour of all time.
Swift had some fun later and flexed in a picture with Kelce, Taylor Lewan, and Will Compton.

Tight End University, or TEU, is a three-day program that brings together some of the best tight ends in the country under one roof.
Founded in 2021, Tight End University allows attendees to learn from current players and retired legends about how to further their development at the position. Activities include on-field drills, film study, rehabilitation, and more.
Yesterday, Kelce was seen in a clip teaching young tight ends about how to get out of a break when running a route.
TEU also hosts charitable initiatives, such as the benefit concert that Swift performed at.
Perhaps Swift might even show the tight ends a thing or two about elite stamina, considering she performs three-hour shows on her tour.
