Taylor Swift Stuns Travis Kelce’s Tight End University originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Travis Kelce’s idea has blossomed into a huge event.
Just ask the attendees at this week’s Tight End University who are being treated to not only a live broadcast on ESPN but also a special appearance from Taylor Swift.
TEU was founded in 2021 by NFL tight ends Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs, George Kittle of the San Francisco 49ers and Fox analyst Greg Olsen. It’s grown into a massive three-day summit that not only attracts the best tight ends in pro and college football, but also elite quarterbacks such as the Dallas Cowboys‘ Dak Prescott and future Hall of Famer Tom Brady to throw passes to the campers.
More than 75 players have committed to attend this year’s TEU, held at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. On the list of attendees is Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl champion Dallas Goedert and Las Vegas Raiders All-Pro Brock Bowers.
ESPN’s one-hour coverage at 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday will be anchored by “NFL Live” co-hosts Laura Rutledge and Dan Orlovsky.
But it was the kick-off party that shocked everyone when Swift waltzed in.

Swift reportedly even posed for photos with attendees.
The event’s DJ, Mike Fresh, shared his surprise on social media.
“There are Monday fun days, and then there are Monday fun days when Taylor Swift is in the building partying to your set,” he wrote. “We had a really fun crowd, and then I learned that the Tight End University boys were back in town. We’ve partied together for the last few years. They train hard all day, and then they’re out at night, and it’s always been a lot of fun.”
