Travis Kelce Just Shared the Story Behind That Viral Taylor Swift Performance & It’s Honestly So Cute

When it comes to Taylor Swift, most of the updates we get are big, polished and very business-focused—think Eras Tour announcements, chart-topping milestones and reclaiming her masters. But every now and then, we get a peek behind the curtain thanks to her boyfriend, Travis Kelce—and his latest podcast episode just gave fans a juicy little backstory on a moment they’ve been obsessed with.

ICYMI: Taylor made a surprise appearance at Travis’s Tight Ends & Friends concert in Nashville, joining Chase Rice onstage to perform her 2014 hit "Shake It Off," (in the perfect LBD, btw). It was fun, unexpected, and now we know—totally planned.

On the July 2 episode of his New Heights podcast (co-hosted with his brother Jason Kelce), Travis opened up about how it all went down. “Tay Tay showed up,” he said with a grin, when Jason asked how the performance came to be. “We’re in Nashville. She grew up in Nashville. She moved there when she was younger. We had this plan for a while that we were gonna have some fun with the tight ends.”

Apparently, the idea came together smoothly backstage. “Tay just kinda went up to [Kane Brown] and the band and was like, ‘Hey, if you guys are down, I’ll go up there and play a song and see if we can pop the roof off this place.’”
