Before Travis Kelce and his fiancée, Taylor Swift, walk down the aisle, the Kansas City Chiefs star hosts his six annual Tight End University, a summit a he co-founded with Greg Olsen and George Kittle.
Swift once again joined Kelce in Nashville for the summit in Nashville, and like last last year, jumped on stage for a surprise performance during the “Tight Ends & Friends” charity concert. The pop star performed Kittle’s favorite song, “Love Story,” alongside country star Lainey Wilson this year.
Kittle and his wife, Claire Kittle, confirmed they’re attending the famous couple’s upcoming wedding.
Kelce and Swift plan to wed at Madison Square Garden on July 3, per multiple reports. However, the San Fransisco 49ers star and his wife claimed he didn’t know the exact location of the nuptials.
“We don’t know,” Claire Kittle told Entertainment Tonight. Kittle added, “I actually asked Travis last night and he laughed at me. I’m half expecting there to just be a jumbo jet on a runway. And they put us on a plane somewhere. I don’t have expectations. I know it’s going to be amazing.”
One thing Kittle does know, “I’m wearing a blue suit, so that’s all I’ve got.”
While the Kittles convincingly kept Swift and Kelce’s wedding details under wraps, a new report from The New York Times appears to confirm the location and date.
