After Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce spent last offseason supporting Taylor Swift during the “Eras Tour,” she’s returning the favor.
Over the past few months, Swift stayed with Kelce in Southern Florida as he trained for the 2025 NFL season. The couple was spotted out to dinner several times in the Palm Beach area and attended Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final.
Swift, 35, surprised fans by traveling to Nashville to join Kelce for Tight End University on Monday, June 23, which the Chiefs star co-founded with NFL analyst Greg Olsen and San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle.
The 14-time Grammy winner joined the welcome party and took several photos with fellow players’ wives and girlfriends. Swift looked stunning in a green plaid Hunter Bell top and skirt. Tight End University’s Instagram account even posted a slo-mo video of their entrance.
Tight End University is a three-day summit that takes place at Vanderbilt University between June 23–26. While it was unclear if the pop star would stay the entire week, she showed up for the event’s big concert night on Tuesday.

Swift seems to be sticking around for the week’s festivities. Kelce and Swift were spotted entering the Brooklyn Bowl along with two very special guests. Abigail Anderson Berard, who’s been best friends with Swift since freshman year of high school, and her husband, Charles Berard, joined the famous couple.
Anderson appeared in Swift’s 2020 documentary, “Miss Americana,” and helped inspire the song, “Fifteen,” from the 2008 album, “Fearless.”
Swift sings on the track, “You sit in class next to a redhead named Abigail, and soon enough you’re best friends. Laughing at the other girls, who think they’re so cool, we’ll be out of here as soon as we can.”
During a stop on the “Eras Tour” in May 2023, Swift sang an acoustic version of “Fifteen” and dedicated the song to Anderson, her “beautiful, redheaded high school best friend,” Billboard reported.
Anderson posted a photo of two laughing on Instagram a few days after the show and wrote, “Cause when you’re… 33 🦊.” She married Berard in 2022. They welcomed their first child together, a boy, in August 2024.
The Nashville-native also appears in numerous of Swift’s music videos including :I’m Only Me When I’m with You,” “New Romantics,” “Picture to Burn,” and even plays herself in “Fifteen.”

“Taylor is really looking forward to the upcoming NFL season,” a source recently told People. “Not just because she loves supporting Travis, but because for the first full season since they started dating, she’s not juggling a packed tour schedule.
“This fall will be completely different. It’s the first season where she’s not constantly flying back and forth or working around an entire touring calendar.” Now, she’s planning “to be at as many of his games as possible.”
