Taylor Swift joins Lainey Wilson onstage in surprise performance at Travis Kelce event

WATCH: Taylor Swift gives surprise performance at Travis Kelce event

Music superstar Taylor Swift gave a surprise performance Tuesday night in support of her fiance, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce.

Swift joined country singer Lainey Wilson onstage at the Tight End University Tight Ends & Friends Concert in Nashville, where the pair sang Swift's hit song "Love Story."

Tight End University is an annual three-day program for NFL players founded five years ago by Kelce, San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle, and retired NFL star Greg Olsen. The annual program brings together tight ends across the league to help them "bond, collaborate with, and learn amongst their peers," according to its website.

The program also facilitates a number of charitable initiatives intended to give back to the community.

Swift also delivered a surprise performance at the event last year, singing her hit 2014 single "Shake It Off" alongside Kane Brown

The music star's support of Kelce at this year's event comes less than two weeks after Kelce stood by Swift's side as she was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame Class of 2026 in New York City on June 11.

Kelce traveled to New York for the induction ceremony after finishing the Chiefs' three-day mandatory minicamp, which concluded the same day as the ceremony.

Kelce and Swift first sparked speculation about their relationship in the fall of 2023, when Swift attended her first Kansas City game alongside Kelce's mom Donna Kelce.

The couple announced their engagement in August last year, writing in a joint Instagram post, "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨."
