Taylor Swift surprises with performance at Tight End University as she supports Travis Kelce
Taylor Swift has won numerous awards, but she probably deserves one for most supportive girlfriend of a football player.
The pop star thrilled folks with a recent surprise performance in Nashville, where Tight End University is taking place.
Swift's beau, Kansas City Chiefs football player Travis Kelcie, was at the annual event that brings together the best tight ends in the National Football League to train and hang out. Social media posts that captured Swift performing her hit 'Shake It Off' at the 'Tight Ends & Friends' concert.
The NFL even posted a photo country star Kane Brown had shared of him with Swift and Kelce, writing, 'When you think you're the special guest BUT you're not' with a laughing emoji.
She popped out during Brown's set to the delight of the attendees.
'Shake It Off' feels like the perfect song choice for the tight ends, who sometimes need to do just that while playing, and Swift appeared to get that.
'We would like to dedicate this to our favorite players who are going to play and these are the tight ends,' she said before launching into her hit as the crowd cheered.
Swift and Kelce have been going strong as a couple since the summer of 2023.

Man City must suffer in Orlando heat, warns Guardiola
Pep Guardiola expects the same weather issues to arise at next year's World Cup [Getty Images] Manchester City must be prepared to "suffer" in the challenging heat of Orlando during Thursday's crunch Club World Cup match against Juventus, says manager Pep Guardiola. The temperature at Camping World Stadium was 31C during Wednesday's news conference at 17:00 local time (22:00 BST) but that is forecast to rise to 33C for the game, which kicks off at 15:00 in the United States (20:00 BST). Advertisement City's 6-0 thrashing of UAE side Al Ain was played at the enclosed Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, with the the air conditioning turned on. "The heat is obvious, we can't change it," said Guardiola. "It's better to play at the Atlanta stadium, which is fantastic. "All the teams have to handle it. The next World Cup, people know it already. We have to be ready to suffer." 'Bring water, hats and towels' Manchester City have qualified for the knockout stages of the Club World Cup with a game to spare [Getty Images] Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca said on Monday it has been "impossible" to organise normal training sessions amid a "code red" severe heat warning in Philadelphia. Advertisement A heat wave across eastern North America has seen people hospitalised with heat-related illnesses and weather warnings covering an area affecting 160m people. Heat concerns have been raised by other managers at the Club World Cup, while campaign group Fossil Free Football has warned of players being put at risk by competing in such conditions. Governing body Fifa has said "the health of everyone involved in football" is its "top priority", with its medical experts in regular contact with the clubs taking part. Additional cooling breaks have been introduced in games. Both City and Juventus have already qualified for the last-16 stage of the competition with two victories apiece, but the Serie A side sit top by virtue of one more goal scored. Advertisement Their finishing positions in Group G will be important heading into the knockout stages as one of the sides will next come up against La Liga giants Real Madrid. After the opening game win over Wydad AC, Guardiola played an entirely different starting XI in the second match against Al Ain and says he will ring the changes once more. City will be without midfielder Claudio Echeverri, who is expected to miss two to three weeks after sustaining an ankle injury in the previous game, while defender Rico Lewis is suspended. The Spaniard said: "We will play new players and in the next game too and in the second half. The selection has that in mind. Advertisement "In these conditions we are not ready to play 90 minutes and at half-time we will make substitutions." There has been criticism about large banks of empty seats in stadiums during the group stages of the Fifa tournament. This match is being held at the exposed 60,000-capacity venue which offers little cover for spectators in the stands. "Two big clubs and hopefully there will be people," said Guardiola. "Last 16, quarter-finals, semi-final, final - hopefully the stadiums will be full. "But 70,000, 80,000 - it is not easy to hold the crowd. Hopefully we can do a good game and the people can come. Advertisement "Bring water, hats, towels on the necks - it will be tough."

Sabrina Carpenter Says She's Considered Banning Phones at Her Concerts
Sabrina Carpenter concerts could look a little different in the future, with the star revealing she's open to the idea of banning phones at her shows. Carpenter's comments appeared in a recent article from Rolling Stone, who shared quotes that didn't make it into their recent cover story with the singer. One of the previously-unpublished revelations was that Carpenter indeed open to asking fans to pocket their devices at her gigs. More from Billboard Rachel Zegler Serenades Crowd Outside Theater for Free in a New London Production of 'Evita' Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis to Receive Vanguard Award at The Guitar Center Music Foundation Gala & Benefit Concert Shakira Announces Two More Dates in Mexico, Extending Record to 28 'This will honestly p–s off my fans, but absolutely,' she explained, noting she was inspired by a Las Vegas show from Silk Sonic which required her to lock her phone up.' 'I've never had a better experience at a concert,' Carpenter explained. 'I genuinely felt like I was back in the Seventies — wasn't alive. Genuinely felt like I was there. Everyone's singing, dancing, looking at each other, and laughing. It really, really just felt so beautiful.' Notably, Silk Sonic's 2022 Las Vegas residency even featured Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak crafting a song to underline the lack of devices. 'We took your phones away,' they sang. 'What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.' 'I've grown up in the age of people having iPhones at shows,' Carpenter continued. 'It unfortunately feels super normal to me. I can't blame people for wanting to have memories. But depending on how long I want to be touring, and what age I am, girl, take those phones away. You cannot zoom in on my face. Right now, my skin is soft and supple. It's fine. Do not zoom in on me when I'm 80 years old up there.' The topic of banning phones at gigs has been a contentious one over the years, with artists wishing for fans to live in the moment, and fans desiring a chance to memorialize their concert experiences. In 2015, Jack White shared a verbal plea for no phones during his Lazaretto tour, and by the time The Raconteurs toured in 2019, attendees were told to put their devices in locked Yondr pouches. 'We think you'll enjoy looking up from your gadgets for a little while and experience music and our shared love of it in person,' a note from the band read at the time. Other acts, such as Tool and A Perfect Circle have been noted for asking fans to observe such a practice, with the latter having made headlines for reportedly ejecting concert attendees who violated the request. 'You ever go to a play or a movie?' A Perfect Circle guitarist Billy Howerdel asked in 2018. 'If you've ever been to a play or a movie, it's kind of similar: you don't take out your phone and start filming, and let the people behind you stare into your screen.' More recently, Iron Maiden manager Rod Smallwood put out a request to fans to put down their phones during the band's Run for Your Lives World Tour. 'We really want fans to enjoy the shows first hand, rather than on their small screens,' Smallwood explained. 'The amount of phone use nowadays diminishes enjoyment, particularly for the band who are on stage looking out at rows of phones, but also for other concertgoers,' he added. 'We feel that the passion and involvement of our fans at shows really makes them special, but the phone obsession has now got so out of hand that it has become unnecessarily distracting especially to the band.'
