Travis Kelce reveals the secret 'plan' behind Taylor Swift's surprise concert at NFL event

Travis Kelce has opened up on Taylor Swift’s surprise cameo at ‘тιԍнт End University’ which was kept secret from even the NFL superstar’s brother, Jason.

Nearly 80 NFL stars descended on Nashville for this year’s edition of the event, which Kelce co-founded alongside George Kittle and Greg Olsen.

Swift appeared on stage during one of the evening events – ‘тιԍнт Ends & Friends’ – and performed her hit ‘Shake it off’ alongside Kane Brown.

On the latest edition of New Heights, Travis explained that they had been cooking up a plan to ‘have some fun’ for some time.

But his older brother Jason was among those who were shocked when footage emerged of the pop sensation on stage. 

‘Tay Tay showed up!’ Travis said. ‘We were in Nashville, she grew up in Nashville – she moved there when she was younger – and we had this planned for a while that we were going to have some fun with the тιԍнт ends.

He continued: ‘I won’t say when the idea came up but we were there at “тιԍнт End & Friends” and we knew that there was a professional like Kane Brown, who could just figure it out.

‘He’s a pro, he’s been on stage a million times, he’s not shy at all by any means… Tay just went up to him and the band and was like: “Hey if you guys are down, I’ll go up there, play a song and see if we can pop the roof off this place.” And sure enough…’

Travis revealed that before going out to perform, Swift was backstage writing sheets of music for the band.

‘I don’t know, I’m not a musician but she was making sure that the band and everybody (knew it). And then just went out there without practicing and it was pitch perfect and just killed it,’ Travis continued.

‘She’s so good with everybody and making people feel comfortable. And absolutely rocked the stage yet again, it was awesome, man.’

Jason added: ‘She killed it, she shook it off for sure. She shook down the roof, that’s for damn sure. It was a surprise everybody didn’t see coming. 

‘I know I didn’t. I’m over here saying: “What the hell? Tay’s up on stage? How did this happen? How did they get her up there? That’s amazing.”‘
