Taylor Swift goes country glam for surprise performance at Travis Kelce's Nashville event
She's back to her roots.
On Tuesday night, Taylor Swift hit the stage for a surprise performance during boyfriend Travis Kelce's 'Tight Ends and Friends' concert at Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville, Tennessee, rocking a chic Western-inspired getup.
The singer, 35, wore a black EB Denim minidress ($495) with a corseted bodice and pleated skirt. She added flair to the look with a chunky gold belt.
Swift balanced out the leg-baring piece with knee-high black leather Versace boots ($1,990 $1,393), which were embellished with the fashion house's signature gold-tone Medusa '95 hardware.
Fans will remember that the superstar previously wore the same style in various washes of blue to a VMAs 2023 after party, pairing it with sparkling platform heels and a matching purse.
On the accessories front, the Grammy winner stunned in Maria Tash pear-shaped diamond studs ($4,100) and a Steven Battelle Ancient coin pendant ($2,175).
For the performance — during which she surprised the crowd with an acoustic performance of 'Shake It Off,' joined by scheduled guest Kane Brown — Swift pulled back her hair in a low ponytail and sported her signature red lip.
'We were up there having some drinks, and we were thinking like, 'How loud could this place get? Theoretically, how loud could the singing be in here?'' Swift told the lively audience.
'I was like, 'I don't have a guitar,' and then Chase Rice was like, 'You can use mine.' So we would like to dedicate this to our favorite players who are going to play, and these are the tight ends,' she continued, right before performing the hit song.
This marked the Grammy-winning musician's first performance since buying back her masters and finishing her Eras Tour.
Kelce, meanwhile, also embraced the country aesthetic, wearing a mesh floral-print top, camo trousers, a black cowboy hat and white sneakers.
Last night's concert is a part of the annual Tight End University, a three-day event founded by Kelce, San Francisco 49ers player George Kittle and sportscaster Greg Olsen.
The previous night, Swift helped her beau kick off the event, joining him at the party in a green gingham crop top and matching skirt by Hunter Bell, which she styled with a white Celine bag and Sandy Liang sandals.
We can't wait to see how she closes out the bash.

Taylor Swift singing own song with 49ers superstar is the best TEU video
The videos and photos that came out of Tight End University -- the days-long event founded and run by Travis Kelce and other NFL TEs -- with Taylor Swift have been the best. There was mostly her Shake It Off performance at a TEU party that included an adorable Kelce moment that had her boyfriend posting on social media. And now? There's a video of Swift and San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle singing Love Story at one of these TEU parties. It's a delight! We get the joy of Swift singing her own song as if she was a fan, and Kittle just blasting it. And I think that's Kelce singing along when the phone pans. What more can we say? It's been awesome to see Swift supporting Kelce -- he's also been so supportive of her since they started dating -- and hanging out with other tight ends. More, please!
