A Surprise Performance in Nashville

Taylor Swift delighted fans in Nashville on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, when she made a surprise appearance at her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s “Tight Ends & Friends” charity concert. The pop superstar was introduced as a “really, really, really special guest” by country star Kane Brown before taking the stage.

Wearing a striking black mini dress, Swift performed an intimate, acoustic version of her hit song “Shake It Off,” borrowing a guitar from fellow performer Chase Rice for the set. Her appearance was the highlight of the night at the annual fundraising event for Kelce’s “Tight End University.”

A Private Dinner in the Big Apple

Days after the high-energy Nashville performance, Swift and Kelce were spotted enjoying a much more private evening in New York City. On Saturday, June 28, the couple had a low-key dinner with Taylor’s brother, Austin Swift, at the exclusive, members-only San Vicente Bungalows in the West Village.

 

As reported by Page Six, the venue’s strict no-photo policy provided a sanctuary for the couple. Swift turned heads in a black Balmain mini dress reportedly worth $3,490, paired with $895 Christian Louboutin sandals.

Milestone Moments and a New Season

The couple’s recent appearances come as Swift continues to celebrate the monumental success of her historic project to re-record her first six albums. Kelce recently praised her achievement on his “New Heights” podcast, celebrating the fact that she now owns the new versions of her master recordings.

With the international leg of her Eras Tour now complete, Swift is reportedly looking forward to a different kind of fall season. A source told Heavy.com, “Taylor is really looking forward to the upcoming NFL season… for the first full season since they started dating, she’s not juggling a packed tour schedule.”
