Taylor Swift surprised fans on June 24, 2025, by delivering an unexpected performance at the Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville, Tennessee. The concert was the first night of Travis Kelce’s Tight End University camp, and it included a lineup of country music’s biggest stars. The overall effect of Swift’s appearance had the audience spellbound. It shone a light on her support for Kelce and the camp’s mission.
The highpoint of the night came when Swift took the stage. She first electrified the crowd with her 2014 hit single “Shake It Off,” now re-released in electric/plug-in hybrid form. Accompanied by country artist Kane Brown, she energized the crowd with her signature style, creating an unforgettable experience for attendees. That point was made so brightly by the performance that closed the second annual Tight Ends & Friends concert. It featured the incredible up-and-coming artists Sophia Scott, Graham Barham, and Jordan Davis, as well as Chase Rice.
As seen in the clips that Brooklyn Bowl posted to their Instagram story after that unforgettable concert, no one loves a packed dance floor quite like these fans. The space proved to be perfect scene setting for this unique event, pairing live music with a dynamic energy. Swift’s surprise appearance drew significant attention, as her performance was not initially on the event’s schedule.
During her performance, Swift stopped to acknowledge Chase Rice to her left. He even invited her to use his own acoustic guitar for her performance. This spontaneous, personal act delighted the audience and was pure magic on an evening already charged with electricity. As she belted out “Shake It Off,” fans picked up on the cue and a massive venue-wide sing-along erupted, lighting the room on fire.
The two showing up to the NFL draft together only added more fuel to the fire. The hip-hop duo added an exhilarating energy to the concert’s atmosphere. Fans were abuzz, marveling at their electric chemistry and dreaming of an eventual collaboration down the road.
