Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Make Casual Red Carpet Debut at His Tight End University's Opening Night
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce said forget highly-publicized Hollywood red carpets, and made their red carpet debut as a couple in their own style.
The pop star and the Kansas City football player recently made their debut at the opening night ceremony for Kelce's Tight End University in Nashville. In a video posted on the event's official Instagram account, the pair could be seen walking onto the red carpet hand-in-hand, with smiles stretched across both their faces. The caption read, 'Tight End Era.'

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!!'
