The duo are in Nashville for Travis’ Tight End University event
Taylor Swift delighted fans when she appeared onstage at the Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville to sing one of her biggest hits for the lucky crowd – yet it was her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, who cheered the loudest of all.
The star took to the stage on Wednesday during fellow musician Kane Brown’s set for the Tight End and Friends show, which is hosted by Travis every year as part of his Tight End University summer camp event.

Taking to the official NFL Instagram account, who posted a series of photos from Taylor’s special night, Travis commented: “Turn me up Tay Tay!!!”
The Kansas City Chiefs star’s comment caused a stir amongst the Swifties, who shared how happy they were for the talented couple. “Y’all are goals,” one fan wrote, while another added, “Ok I believe in love again.”

Taylor was glowing up on stage in a black minidress, armed with only her acoustic guitar. This marked the 35-year-old’s first performance since her record-breaking Eras Tour concluded in December 2024.
Other performers included Sophia Scott, Graham Barham and Chase Rice. The Grammy winner covered one of Chase’s songs after “Shake It Off”, going back to her country roots with the track.
Couple goals

Taylor has been supporting Travis during the three-day Tight End University event, which aims to bring tight end players from around the country to “bond, collaborate with, and learn amongst their peers while participating in a variety of activities including film study, on-field drills, recovery, rehabilitation, and more,” according to the website.
The “Cruel Summer” singer was radiant in a green and white checkered top and matching skirt with white heels and a beige handbag to complete the look.

Fans couldn’t have been happier for the pair as they made their red carpet debut, albeit on a much smaller stage than expected.
“The red carpet moment that the world has waited on for two years happened at TEU? I kind of love this. Met Gala? Grammys? Hell no we’re doing TEU!” one fan wrote under the video posted of the couple on the TE University Instagram account, while another added, “Can we call this a red carpet??”
© Instagram“This, as their first red carpet appearance, is kinda perfect!!” declared another, while a fourth chimed in, “From making friendship bracelets at TEU 2 years ago to bringing Taylor Swift herself at TEU event 2 years later, Travis really had a friendship bracelet and a dream.”
Taylor and Travis went public with their relationship in September 2023, two months after the NFL star admitted that he had made a friendship bracelet for her with his number on it.
They have been going steady ever since, and continue to make headlines with their open devotion and public support of each other.
