Taylor Swift Just Made a Surprise Return to the Stage in Nashville

It seems like Taylor Swift is officially in her everything she touches turns to gold era. Between cheering on her NFL boyfriend Travis Kelce, reuniting with celeb friends over dinners in NYC and buying back her masters, the 35-year-old pop icon is clearly thriving post-Eras Tour. And if we’ve learned anything from Swift over the years, it’s that she loves a good surprise.

On Tuesday, June 24, Taylor shocked fans with a surprise performance in Nashville at Kelce’s Tight Ends & Friends concert, held at the Brooklyn Bowl. The event is part of Tight End University, a three-day summer training camp Kelce co-founded in 2021 alongside NFL star George Kittle and sportscaster Greg Olsen.

In a fan-recorded video, country singer Chase Rice casually calls Taylor out, saying, “Ready when you are,” and like magic, there she is. Taylor struts on stage in a sleek black mini dress and matching boots and starts chatting with the crowd.

“You know we’re up there and we’re having some drinks and we were thinking, ‘how loud could this place get?’” she teases.

After shouting out the footballers, “We would like to dedicate this to our favorite players who are going to play and these are the tight ends,” Taylor launches into a her 2014 hit “Shake It Off,” borrowing Rice’s guitar for the impromptu jam session.
