Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce, and George Kittle sing ‘Love Story’ together in hilarious backstage moment
Taylor Swift joined Travis Kelce and George Kittle for a spontaneous backstage rendition of Love Story, creating one of the most viral moments from Tight End University 2025
George Kittle filmed a candid moment backstage where he and Swift sang Love Story at full volume, with Kelce joining in. The video, later shared by the NFL, showcased Swift’s effortless charm as she laughed mid-verse, while Kittle-clearly starstruck-jokingly panned the camera to Kelce, who grinned while mouthing the lyrics. Fans dubbed it “the most wholesome crossover of the year”.
Before the backstage moment, Swift had already stunned the TEU crowd by performing Shake It Off acoustically with Kane Brown-her first public performance since the Eras Tour wrapped. She teased the crowd, saying, “We planned this three minutes ago,” before borrowing Chase Rice’s guitar.
Known for keeping his relationship private at events, Kelce broke character by commenting “Turn me up, Tay Tay!!!” on the NFL’s Instagram post of the Love Story clip. The nickname-previously only heard in podcasts-sent Swifties into meltdown, with one fan joking, “Travis Kelce is the president of the Taylor Swift Fan Club.”
TEU’s Star-Studded Night
Beyond Swift, TEU’s “Tight Ends & Friends” concert featured country stars like Luke Combs and Graham Barham. Social media influencer Haley Cavinder (engaged to TE Jake Ferguson) was spotted dancing with Swift in the VIP section, while Kelce played hype man for every performer. The event, initially focused on football drills, became a full-blown Music City spectacle.
Swift’s appearance at TEU-a traditionally male-dominated space-highlighted Kelce’s pride in their relationship. Her ease with NFL stars (like Kittle’s goofy serenade) dismantled stereotypes about athletes and pop icons occupying separate worlds. As Sports Illustrated noted, “Swift didn’t just visit TEU; she made it her stage.”
With Kelce and Kittle returning to NFL training camps soon, fans speculate whether Swift will make more surprise appearances. Given Kelce’s “Tay Tay” comment and Kittle’s newfound Swiftie status, this unlikely trio might just become a recurring act-both on and off the field.
