Taylor Swift Stuns Fans With Performance at Tight End University

Taylor Swift Stuns Fans With Performance at Tight End University originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is hosting Tight End University this week, a summit he founded with Greg Olsen and San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle.
Taylor Swift showed her support for Kelce on June 23, attending the event's welcome party for the first time in their nearly two-year relationship.
She happily posed at the step-and-repeat and took photos with several attendee's wives and girlfriends.
Tight end University, which takes place in Nashville, made some significant changes to this year's program. They introduced a golf tournament, "giving attendees another platform for camaraderie and community building,' TE University shared in a memo.
The summit, now in its fifth year, also hosted a Tight Ends & Friends Concert at the Nashville Bowl. Numerous artists were announced over the past few weeks as performers, including Chase Rice, Jordan Davis, Sophia Scott, and Graham Barham.
However, no one expected Swift to take the stage. After nearly two years traveling globe on her record-breaking "Eras Tour," she's kept a noticeably low profile.
However, the 14-time Grammy took the stage on Tuesday night, and sang "Shake It Off," for a stunned crowd.
It's truly a full circle moment for the famous couple. One year ago, Kelce joined Swift on stage at Wembley Stadium in London and performed the intro for "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart."
Now, Swift surprised fans on stage to sing a song for his fans. It also marked Swift's first performance since reclaiming her masters last month.
Video showed Kelce was backstage and cheering her on during the performance.
One fan commented, "YEEHAW TAYLOR IS COMING BACK Y'ALL!!" Another person wrote, "Taylor lit up the entire stadium with just one song!"
Another fan gushed, "Guys, this is SO fun. Like, the vibes I get from this is 'open mic night'. YKWIM?? She hasn't played to a crowd this small in a LONG time. I bet it felt so refreshing and freeing to her! And this being the first time on stage since Eras? Idk, I'm just really happy for her."This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 25, 2025, where it first appeared.

Former Patrick Mahomes teammate makes admission on Tom Brady

"Patrick is definitely a close second, he's closing in"Tyrann Mathieu on where his former teammate stands in his GOAT QB rankings 🐐@heykayadams | @Mathieu_Era Former Kansas City Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu gave an honest response when asked if he believed quarterback Patrick Mahomes was the greatest of all time. While he does think the three-time Super Bowl champion is closing in on that title, he isn't ready to put him ahead of former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. "I would say he's a great quarterback, but greatest of all time, I think that's still reserved for Brady," Mathieu said on Up & Adams. "And I think with Brady, that's just longevity. That's respect. That's just playing against this guy on the biggest stages. He was one of the most competitive, accurate. He just had a single mindset to win—win by any means necessary. He was always a challenge to go up against. Being the greatest of all time, I don't think it's like an eight, nine, 10-year thing." Brady, the seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback, has beaten Mahomes twice in the postseason—once in the 2018 AFC Championship Game and once more at Super Bowl LV. He also won a Super Bowl with two different football teams after leaving the Patriots for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020. Mahomes is still only 29 years old and not completely out of the race. Mathieu acknowledged his former teammate might one day go down as the greatest of all time if he stays on his current trajectory. But that's a big hill to climb in a league where teams improve every year. Follow Patriots Wire on Twitter and Facebook.

Right tackle Jawaan Taylor returns to practice as Chiefs put pads on for first time in training camp

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City Chiefs right tackle Jawaan Taylor made his training camp debut after missing their first four practices because of a knee injury, and he was right in the mix with the starters Sunday as they put on pads for the first time. Backup tight end Tre Watson, who also had been out with a groin injury, passed his physical and joined Taylor on the field. Taylor has started all 33 regular-season games he has played for Kansas City over the past two seasons. But his blocking metrics coupled with a propensity for penalties mean his job is far from secure. The Chiefs signed backup 49ers tackle Jaylon Moore to a two-year, $30 million deal and used their first-round draft pick on Ohio State standout Josh Simmons. After the first week of camp, Simmons appears to have the inside track on the left tackle job, which was a problem position for the Chiefs all of last season. So when Taylor returned, it was in a rotation with Moore for first-team snaps on Sunday. 'We're getting back in the swing. He hasn't done anything," Chiefs coach Andy Reid said of Taylor, who showed up on the injury report with knee trouble much of last season and had offseason surgery. 'But all three are kind of competing there.' Reid said he was pleased with the way Simmons looked in his first padded practice. There was some question about whether he would even be ready for camp after tearing his patellar tendon in a game with the Buckeyes last season. 'He did some good things. I wasn't focusing on him the whole time, but I thought he did some good things,' Reid said. 'He's a work in progress. He has to keep working. Young guy.' Meanwhile, Reid said cornerback Kristian Fulton had a procedure to 'clean out' his knee in the spring, which is why he remains on the physically unable to perform list. The Chiefs gave him a two-year, $20 million deal in March. Rookie tight end Jake Briningstool also did not practice Sunday because of a hamstring injury. ___ AP NFL: Dave Skretta, The Associated Press
