Taylor Swift surprises fans with spontaneous performance

The crowd, already buzzing from the star-studded guest list, erupted as Swift made her entrance.TEU is a three-day training camp for American football tight ends, co-hosted by Travis Kelce.
Taylor Swift's appearance was no accident. She wanted to support Kelce, who has attended many of her shows.
A source told the Daily Mail, 'She thought it would be fun to perform. It made sure eyeballs were firmly on the Tight End University that Travis holds very close to his heart, according to the Cosmopolitan.

Kane Brown, the evening's host, introduced Swift as a 'really, really, really special guest.' The crowd's reaction was instant and deafening.
Taylor Swift walked on stage, smiled, and asked, 'Theoretically, how loud can we get?' She then dedicated her performance to the tight ends.
'We would like to dedicate this to our favourite players who are going to play and these are the tight ends.' The energy in the room soared as she launched into Shake It Off .
This performance marked Swift's first public show since she bought back her master recordings—a significant milestone in her career.

Orlando Pirates coach backs young striker
Orlando Pirates head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has explained why he continues to back under-fire striker Boitumelo Radiopane despite growing criticism from fans. The 21-year-old has already featured three times this season across the MTN8 and Betway Premiership but is still waiting for his first goal. His latest appearance came in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Mamelodi Sundowns in the MTN8 semi-final first leg at Orlando Stadium, where he came off the bench and fluffed a late chance to win the game. Kaizer Chiefs coach involved from Tunisia 'These kinds of players, I think, it's easy for a coach because he has a fantastic mentality. He's a well-educated player and a man, respectful,' said Ouaddou. Orlando Pirates forward Boitumelo Radiopane Image via @OrlandoPirates on X 'He is a worker. So, I'm lucky to have such players to train, and he's a professional. It means when we call him for duty, he doesn't have any problem sitting on the bench and coming back to give everything. Kaizer Chiefs star accepts criticism 'And all my players, I'm really, really lucky about all the players that I have in Orlando Pirates. They have a fantastic mentality. It's one of the first dressing rooms that I have seen with such a great mentality of the players,' the French-Moroccan coach concluded.

Kaizer Chiefs starting XI vs Richards Bay FC
Kaizer Chiefs have announced their starting line-up for Tuesday's Betway Premiership clash against Richards Bay FC. Kick-off at FNB Stadium is at 19:30. Notably, coach Nasreddine Nabi is still missing on the Amakhosi bench, meaning Ben Youssef will again lead the Soweto giants alongside Cedric Kaze. New signings Etiosa Ighodaro and Asanele Velebayi are also not in the matchday squad, and so is Flavio Silva. Of course, both Ighodaro and Silva will need to have their paperwork sorted before making their debuts for Chiefs. Now, back to the starting line-up – the coaches have kept the core of the team that started the current campaign. Nkosingiphile Ngcobo starts on the bench alongside Gaston Sirino and rising star Naledi Hlongwane.
