Taylor Swift is all about supporting boyfriend Travis Kelce on and off the field — including at his annual Tight End University event.
Kelce, 35, cofounded TEU in 2021 with fellow NFL stars George Kittle and Greg Olsen to, per the website description, “bring the Tight End community together” in a three-day program. (TEU is also the catalyst of Kelce’s relationship with Swift, 35, considering he made friendship bracelets for the 2023 attendees weeks after attending her Eras Tour concert and failing to meet her backstage.)
“Over the course of the summit, attendees are able 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,” the website reads. “In addition to current players, TEU also features several retired legends who provide attendees with the invaluable opportunity to learn from some of the best to ever play the game.”
This year’s TEU took place in Nashville, where rookie tight ends got a chance to practice and learn from athletes like Dallas Goedert, Rob “Gronk” Gronkowski and the three cofounders. The camp also invited the athletes to a welcome party, in which Swift accompanied Kelce, and a “Tight Ends & Friends” concert, where she performed with Kane Brown.

“When you think you’re the special guest BUT you’re not 
,” Brown, 31, jokingly wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, June 25, sharing footage of his duet on Swift’s song “Shake It Off.”
Swift’s performance was her first since buying back the masters to her first six albums.
“How loud could this place get?” she quipped. “I was, like, ‘I don’t have a guitar’ and then Chase Rice said, ‘You can use mine!’ So, we would like to dedicate this to our favorite players who are going to play — and these are the tight ends.”
She added, “We just figured we were going to play that three minutes ago. You guys have a lovely evening!”
@macloversss Such an amazing experience with some of the best brands and people!! #fyp #foryou #nashville #nfl
As Swift’s appearance suggests, TEU is not just for the athletes, but their families, as well. TikTok star Cali Prieskorn attended the event with her husband, Denver Broncos rookie tight end Caden Prieskorn.
“Such an amazing experience with some of the best brands and people,” Cali, 25, wrote via TikTok on Tuesday, June 24.
In Cali’s video, she offered a glimpse of her experience, which included stopping by a gifting lounge for merch supplied by TEU sponsors Old Spice, Dude Wipes, Chubbies and more and attending the country concert.
“The best surprise performance with the bessst group of people!!
,” Cali gushed via TikTok, sharing footage of Swift’s set.
There was also a “Ladies Luncheon” on the agenda for the wives and girlfriends of the athletes.

“@te_university Ladies Luncheon is always the most special time! My favorite brands come together to spoil the wives of our NFL Tight Ends and local Nashville friends,” Claire Kittle, who is married to San Francisco 49ers star George, wrote via her Instagram on Tuesday. “I had to bring in @sneex so all my girls could experience their insanely cute and comfortable hy-heels + @thecrystalninja bedazzler!”
She added, “@stoneyclover came in to customize the girl’s game day bags, @thesparkcollection_ equipped us all with their beautiful 18k gold permanent bracelets, @shopual brought all the best designer clothes at liquidation prices, @zennioptical provided our shades, @cutwaterspirits brought the vibes & @phihealth Stack Vitamins to keep our girls feeling good all week long!”
Swift, of course, became a member of the NFL partners squad in summer 2023 after going public with Kelce.
