Taylor Swift just gave attendees at Travis Kelce’s event the surprise of a lifetime. One year after the singer’s boyfriend joined her onstage at her Eras Tour, she returned the favor by playing a song at the concert he put on.

The exciting moment happened at the second annual Tight Ends & Friends concert at Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl. The concert was held during Tight End University, a teaching camp that Kelce founded alongside fellow TEs George Kittle and Greg Olsen.
Jordan Davis and Chase Rice were the big performers billed for the charity concert. However, at one point, Kane Brown made a surprise appearance. That moment was one upped by the next person who took the stage, though.
Brown admitted as much on Instagram when he shared a photo of himself with Kelce and Swift. “When you think you’re the special guest BUT you’re not 😂,” he quipped in the caption.
Brown was in on the big surprise, though. When he wrapped up his time on stage, he had one question for the crowd.
“I’ve got something cool I want to do for you guys. Do y’all care if I bring out a really really really really special guest?” he asked the audience, according to The Tennessean.
Swift walked out on stage to roars from the crowd, wearing a guitar that Rice used during his performance earlier in the night.
“See the one thing tight ends have in common with Nashville musicians is we’re all friends, right? So you know, we’re up there,” she said, pointing to the VIP section of the venue. ” And we’re having some drinks,” Swift said. “We were thinking like, ‘How loud could this place get?’”

With that, Swift began singing “Shake It Off.” She even enlisted Brown to play tambourine during the performance.
“Honestly, have you ever seen a tambourine played like this?” Swift asked the crowd. “This is fantastic work by Mr. Kane Brown.”
When the song wrapped, Swift revealed that the decision to perform had been a last minute one.
“Will you please give it up for this amazing band who just figured out that we were going to play that three minutes ago?” she said.
A source told People that Swift and Kelce had a great night at the event.
“They made their way upstairs there they chatted with the TEU athletes and guests. Travis and Taylor stayed by each other’s side all while chit chatting and catching up with everyone,” the source said. “Taylor was having the best time watching all the country music artists and showing her support for them.”
