While it wasn't a glamorous Grammy Awards or Met Gala red carpet, it made sense that Swift and Kelce, who keep their relationship private, opted for a more casual debut. Another photo on the Tight End University Instagram also featured the couple standing next to the program's other founders, George Kittle and Greg Olsen, and their significant others.

Tight End University, a three-day training program for tight ends founded in 2021, aims to have attendees 'bond, collaborate with and learn amongst their peers while participating in a variety of activities including film study, on-field drills, recovery, rehabilitation and more,' according to the program's website.
Kelce and Swift have been romantically linked since the summer of 2023, with the 'Fortnight' singer regularly attending the tight end's Chiefs games during NFL seasons. Kelce also popped up at Swift's Eras Tour shows throughout its nearly two-year run.
After the Eras Tour wrapped in December, the pair has maintained a low profile as they continue to grow their connection, making the occasional public appearance.
Meanwhile, fans of Swift and Kelce have been patiently waiting for them to make their red carpet debut for nearly two years. However, due to both their busy schedules, it was likely a challenge for them to attend red carpet events together, at least until now.
'The red carpet moment that the world has waited on for two years happened at TEU? I kind of love this. Met Gala? Grammys? Hell no we're doing TEU' one user wrote in the video's comment section. Another person added, 'This, as their first red carpet appearance, is kinda perfect!!'

YouTube star, animal activist Mikayla Raines dies by suicide after extreme online bullying, her husband claims
A beloved YouTube star and passionate animal rights activist died by suicide after enduring relentless online bullying, her heartbroken husband revealed. Mikayla Raines, a popular content creator and founder of the Save A Fox rescue center, was the victim of an 'online bullying campaign' from people she knew and those who worked at 'other animal sanctuaries' over the years, her husband Ethan Frankamp said in a heartbreaking YouTube video Monday. The 29-year-old was also a mom to a baby daughter. Advertisement 4 Mikayla Raines died by suicide at 29, according to her husband Ethan Frankamp. @saveafox_rescue/Instagram 'To those of you that pushed her to this, every one of you that had been responsible for making her feel this way, I wish — I wish you had to see me find her, and I wish you had to watch me perform CPR on her for 15 minutes until the first responders arrived,' Frankamp said. 'I wish you had to watch helplessly as paramedics attempted to revive her lifeless body.' Advertisement Recently, Raines' close friends began to criticize her, according to Frankamp. He claimed the criticism caused her mental health to take a tragic turn for the worse. 'She felt as if the entire world had turned against her,' he shared. 'She has always battled with borderline personality disorder, causing emotional instability as well as impulsive behaviors, but this time it went too far. She couldn't bear what she was feeling any longer and she ended her life.' Frankamp added that his wife also had autism and struggled with depression. He ended the tearful video by telling critics spreading 'garbage' rumors to 'shut up' — and urged people feeling 'lost and hopeless' to reach out to a loved one or call a hotline for help. Advertisement 4 Frankamp announced his wife's death on social media Monday. @saveafox_rescue/Instagram 4 Frankamp claimed he performed CPR on Raines for 15 minutes until paramedics arrived. @saveafox_rescue/Instagram 'Despite this being the biggest loss of my life and feeling like I have a literal hole in my chest, I will not let Mikayla's light be extinguished and I won't let negativity win,' he added. The Minnesota mother's death announcement came one day after her husband posted a sweet video of Raines smiling after she rescued a lemur that didn't appear to be house-trained. Advertisement The Save A Fox YouTube channel boasts 2.45 million subscribers. 4 Raines founded the Save A Fox rescue and ran a popular YouTube page. @saveafox_rescue/Instagram 'She was never in it for fame, money or personal gain,' Frankamp said. 'She was truly one of the most selfless people I have ever known. She put the animal's well-being over her own time and time again.' Frankamp said he 'will do whatever I can' to continue the Save A Fox rescue center.
