NFL star reveals the truth behind Taylor Swift's surprise Nashville performance

NFL star George Kittle has lifted the lid on Taylor Swift’s shock performance at a concert hosted by Travis Kelce in Nashville on Tuesday night.

The couple sent fans wild earlier this week when they made their first joint appearance at an event during the NFL star’s тιԍнт End University in Nashville. 

While Kelce was technically working at the three-day NFL event, which he has co-hosted alongside fellow тιԍнт ends Kittle and Greg Olsen since 2021.

The singer sent the crowd wild with a rendition of Shake It Off as she joined Kane Brown at ‘тιԍнт Ends and Friends’, much to the surprise of those in attendance. 

Now, Kittle has opened up on Swift’s cameo and revealed that she was unsure over which song to perform before being reᴀssured by Kelce’s pals. 

Speaking to Fox News Digital, Kittle explained: ‘She was fantastic. For the venue that, I think, it was maybe 1,000 people, that was the loudest 1,000 people I’ve ever heard in my entire life. It was an incredible experience.

‘Taylor could not have been kinder, more nice, and she was like, ‘I think it might be fun to go sing ‘Shake It Off.’ And we were like, ‘It’d be amazing. Twist my arm, Taylor, please.’

Fellow singer Jordan Davis also played and later welcomed country star Luke Combs onto the stage but Swift’s involvement had been kept a secret – if it was even scheduled at all.

Kittle continued: ‘Me, Greg and my wife kind of bullied Luke [Combs] into performing, like, ‘Oh, come on man. Taylor Swift said she might perform. You’re going to not perform?’ And so he went out and did a song with Jordan Davis’.

Swift told the crowd ‘we planned that three minutes ago’ shortly before she left the stage to huge cheers. 

Just when it seemed like Brown was finishing his set, Swift ignited a frenzy when she walked out for one more song and played an acoustic guitar belonging to Rice. 

She dedicated it ‘to our favorite players’ before launching into a rendition of one of her biggest hits and sending the crowd wild.

Tickets had been on sale to the public and some devoted Swifties had made sure they were in the crowd for a possible sighting of the singer with Kelce. It was a gamble that seriously paid off.

One fan even livestreamed her view of Swift on X, showing the singer dancing to the music and sipping her drink with friends while the other artists performed. Moments later, they were broadcasting Swift’s dramatic return.

Swift was dressed all in black for her night out while Kelce wore a camouflaged shirt and pants. He was stood to the side of the stage when Swift walked out to the delight of the fans in attendance.

And it was an intimate venue for Swift to perform in after selling out the biggest stadiums around the globe on her historic Eras Tour. 

Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl hosts up to 1,200 people while her biggest Eras show was at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia, where 96,000 people went to see her.
