Travis Kelce’s Tight End University co-founder George Kittle shared that Taylor Swift’s appearance at the training summit was extra special this year considering how “close” it is to the couple’s nuptials.
“She’s just such an awesome person to give us her time this close to their wedding,” he told People on Tuesday. “So we’re just so thankful that they’re here.”
“She’s just hanging out, talking to my mom,” Kittle gushed about the pop star. “Thanks, mom. Shoutout Taylor for talking to my mom again. But she’s just so kind and it’s awesome to have her around.”
Not only did Swift attend the TEU concert Tuesday night at Nashville’s The Pinnacle, but she also delivered a surprise performance of her 2008 hit “Love Story.”
Toward the end of Lainey Wilson’s set during the Tight Ends & Friends show, the country star told the crowd, “I don’t think y’all are ready for what’s about to happen.
“She is just as kind as she is talented. Y’all, welcome to the stage my friend Taylor Swift,” Wilson said, prompting the audience to erupt in screams.
The 14-time Grammy winner then took the stage and asked the band, “Do you wanna do ‘Love Story’?”
She quipped that the song was a “special request by a very special tight end” before naming Kittle.
During the epic performance, Swift made sure to flash her engagement ring from Kelce when she sang, “He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring.”
Page Six exclusively caught up with Kyle and Kristin Juszczyk at the Tight Ends & Friends Concert, where they compared the couple’s upcoming nuptials to the royal wedding.
“Oh my gosh, everyone’s just so excited for them,” Kristin exclaimed. “We’ve known Travis for a while now and we’re just so happy that he found his person.”

The San Francisco 49ers fullback added, “Really, it is just excitement … it’s the royal wedding!”
As Page Six previously reported, Kelce and Swift, both 36, will say “I do” at Madison Square Garden during the July 3rd weekend.
The pair debated a few other wedding locations before deciding on the iconic venue.
The event has been under the direction of Los Angeles-based celebrity wedding planner Mark Seed, who has been working on it “for months,” according to insiders.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end popped the question last summer in a lavish proposal.
