Tight End University could become a traveling show
Tight End University may be broadening its horizons.
The annual event could be leaving Nashville to become a traveling road show. As Peter Raskin of Rubicon Talent (which produces TEU) recently told David Rumsey of FrontOfficeSports.com, 'We might look at other cities moving forward.'
Raskin said that they have heard from other cities — and even from other countries — about hosting TEU.
It's become a moneymaker, even if the organizers (Greg Olsen, George Kittle, Travis Kelce) make no money.
'Every dollar we make goes towards the event, and whatever we don't spend goes to charity,' Raskin said. 'We are not looking to make a profit, so we've turned down more sponsors than we've probably taken on.'
If they go on the road, there will be more money. And they'll be looking for more ways to involve the general public.
For now, the event is mostly private, with a public concert on Tuesday night. Raskin said that an increase in events for fans and spectators 'will probably happen' in 2026.
The bigger question is whether the event will happen at all in Nashville. It could be moving on as the profile moves up.

Kane Brown pokes fun at Taylor Swift's surprise Nashville performance: Thought I was ‘the special guest'
No bad blood here. Kane Brown hilariously reacted to his surprise duet with Taylor Swift at Travis Kelce's Tight Ends & Friends concert in Nashville Tuesday night. 'When you think you're the special guest BUT you're not ,' the country singer, 31, captioned a smiling Instagram snap with Swift and Kelce, both 35, on Wednesday. Social media users praised the 'legendary' and 'iconic' moment, with one gushing, 'We love you Kane! Thanks for letting our girl sing.' In the upload, Brown stood between the couple and flashed a peace sign while wearing a white tee and camouflage pants. Kelce similarly wore a camo ensemble, completing his look with a black cowboy hat and gold chains. His girlfriend, for her part, rocked a black dress, matching boots and her signature red lip, with her hair pulled back into a ponytail. Swift watched Sophia Scott, Graham Barham, Chase Rice, Jordan Davis, Luke Combs and Brown perform at the Brooklyn Bowl event, which was part of Kelce's Tight End University program in Tennessee. As Brown approached the end of his set, he teased a 'really, really special guest.' The 'Cruel Summer' singer walked out onstage and reportedly asked attendees, 'Theoretically, how loud can we get?' The pop star dedicated the gig 'to our favorite players who are going to play and these are the tight ends.' She subsequently used Rice's guitar to do a 'Shake It Off' collab with Brown, marking her first performance since buying back her masters last month. Kelce co-founded Tight End University in 2021 with fellow NFL stars George Kittle and Greg Olsen. Two years later, he began dating Swift. The pair attended Monday's opening ceremony hand-in-hand and posed for pictures inside — with Swift even hilariously photobombing Kelce's shot with Tommy Banker. She wore a green gingham crop top and matching skirt from Hunter Bell, accessorizing with gold Logan Hollowell jewelry and a cream-colored purse.

Taylor Swift caresses Travis Kelce during intimate ‘Shake It Off' slow dance
Dancing with their hands tied. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce shared a sweet moment as they slow-danced to her hit song 'Shake It Off' during their most recent trip to Nashville, Tenn. The couple, both 35, were filmed with their arms around each other as they sang and swayed to her 2014 song, according to a video shared via TikTok Wednesday but taken on June 23. Kelce could be seen mouthing the words as he solely focused on Swift, while she ran her hands repeatedly through his hair. The Kansas City Chiefs' tight end seemingly nursed a beer can while holding on to the singer's waist. Despite only having eyes for each other, the couple was surrounded by fans and friends who were also singing along. 'Just another Monday night in Music City. ,' the fan captioned the sweet video, with many others gushing about how cute the moment was. 'They are in love love. So [many] people looking, and all they see is each other,' one person noted while another one said, 'This is such a private moment for them too, but there's no way I can look away from it, cause I love it.' Meanwhile, a third person wrote about how 'obsessed' they are with each other. 'I will never get tired of these two being REAL and not bothered ,' a fourth commented. The intimate moment happened the night before the 'Lover' singer took the stage for the first time since reclaiming her masters for $360 million. Swift, who rocked a tiny black dress, was pulled on stage by Kane Brown, who had been performing at the 'Tight Ends and Friends' concert hosted by Kelce on Tuesday. 'We were up there, having some drinks and we were thinking 'How loud can this place get? Theoretically, how loud can the singing be in here?'' the 14-time Grammy winner told the crowd while putting on a guitar. 'We planned that three minutes ago,' she added. Before stepping out on the stage at the Brooklyn Bowl, Sophia Scott, Graham Barham, Chase Rice, Jordan Davis and Luke Combs had also performed. The night before, Swift and Kelce made their 'red carpet debut,' per fans, when she came out to support him during the Tight End University training camp welcome party. Page Six later learned that the couple, who have been dating since the summer of 2023, later attended an afterparty at Jason Aldean's Kitchen + Rooftop Bar on Broadway.

Travis Kelce Doesn't Hesitate Picking His Favorite Taylor Swift Song
Travis Kelce Doesn't Hesitate Picking His Favorite Taylor Swift Song originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Taylor Swift made headlines this week with a surprise guest appearance at "Tight End University" in Nashville, where she joined her boyfriend and event co-founder, Travis Kelce. Founded in 2021 by Kelce, star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, alongside Greg Olsen and George Kittle, "Tight End University" gathers NFL tight ends for a multi-day event featuring on-field drills, film study, and valuable opportunities to connect and learn from one another. On Tuesday, Swift unexpectedly took the stage at the after-party to perform her hit song "Shake It Off." While the event's focus is football, Swift quickly became the biggest attraction of the night. Check it out: Attention also turned to Swift when Will Compton, co-host of the "Bussin' With The Boys" podcast, and fellow co-host Taylor Lewan walked the field asking tight ends their favorite Taylor Swift song — including Kelce himself. 'I guess 'So High School,'' Kelce answered. Compton then challenged him, 'Can I get some lyrics?' Kelce's hilarious response: 'No, no, I'm nervous, dude, I'm nervous.' Swift released 'So High School' in 2024 as part of her latest album, "The Tortured Poets Department." The song became a key part of the back half of her record-breaking "Eras Tour," which concluded in December. Outside of Kelce's answer, several other notable names shared their favorites. George Kittle and Brock Bowers both chose 'Love Story,' while Rob Gronkowski went with 'Shake It Off.' When it comes to the 35-year-old pop star, there are countless iconic songs to choose from. Recently, she achieved a monumental milestone in her career—regaining full ownership of all her masters. After a long and highly publicized journey, she announced the news about a month ago via Instagram and her website, marking a defining moment for the acclaimed story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 26, 2025, where it first appeared.
