Taylor Swift - English
Travis Kelce - English
Taylor Swift stunned fans on Tuesday night with a surprise performance during Travis Kelce‘s Tight Ends and Friends concert in Nashville, but why was she uncertain ahead of the act? George Kittle reveals the answer.
The event, held as part of the annual Tight End University summit, was co-hosted by the Kanas City Chiefs‘ ace, as well as the San Francisco 49ers’ Kittle and ex-NFL star, Greg Olsen.
Swift‘s appearance was unannounced and marked a rare time she and her tight end boyfriend shared a public event together, further fueling interest in their high-profile relationship.
While Kelce was in Nashville for work during the three-day Tight End University, a training camp founded in 2021 for NFL tight ends to network and develop their overall games, Taylor’s participation added a cultural twist to the football-focused gathering.
But in another universe, it might not have happened as it turns out the Eras Tour star was on the fence about which song she wanted to perform, and needed friends of her three-time Super Bowl-winning boyfriend to encourage her.
“For the venue that, I think, it was maybe 1,000 people, that was the loudest 1,000 people I’ve ever heard in my entire life,” Kittle told Fox News Digital. “It was an incredible experience. She could not have been kinder, more nice.
“And she was like, ‘I think it might be fun to go sing Shake It Off.’ And we were like, ‘It’d be amazing. Twist my arm, Taylor, please.'”
Swift stuns star-studded line-up in Nashville
The evening also featured performances from country artists Kane Brown, Jordan Davis, and Luke Combs, but Swift‘s brief acoustic set stole the spotlight as she proved why she’s arguably the biggest name in music once again.
Despite the excitement it generated, Taylor‘s involvement had been largely unplanned, and her performance of Shake It Off came as a surprise even to some of the other performers.
“Me, Greg and my wife kind of bullied Luke [Combs] into performing,” Kittle added. “Like, ‘Oh, come on man. Taylor Swift said she might perform. You’re going to not perform?’
“And so he went out and did a song with Jordan Davis.”
Her appearance took place during Kane Brown‘s set and culminated in an acoustic rendition of one of her most popular tracks, released all the way back in 2014, which she dedicated “to our favorite players.”
The crowd-numbering around 1,200 people-erupted as Swift took the stage, many having taken a chance by attending in hopes of catching a glimpse of the global superstar.
For some, it was a well-calculated gamble. Tickets to the event were available to the public, and a number of Swift‘s devoted fans, known as “Swifties,” were in attendance.
One fan even livestreamed her performance on X (formerly Twitter), capturing the moment Swift joined the other artists on stage and surprising even the most optimistic attendees.

Mauro Beting bate-boca com Mano sobre o Mundial de Clubes do Palmeiras: “Não seja ignorante”
Mauro Beting e Mano em debate no SBT - Reprodução/YouTubeO clima ficou tenso entre Mauro Beting e Mano no programa Arena SBT da última quarta-feira (20). Os profissionais da emissora paulista divergiram opiniões envolvendo o Mundial do Palmeiras conquistado em 1951. Segundo o comentarista, o torcedor palmeirense só passou a discutir a legalidade do título depois que o Corinthians venceu a edição de 2012 diante do Chelsea. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADENo debate acalorado, Mauro Beting alega que seu colega estaria sendo ignorante ao mencionar algo que não condiz com a verdade. Sem entrar no mérito se o título é válido ou não, o respeitado jornalista rebateu as palavras de Mano.“O Palmeiras descobriu esse Mundial em 2013, nenhum palmeirense comemorava título mundial. Quando o São Paulo foi campeão do mundo duas vezes, eu nunca vi palmeirense falando: ‘Eu também já tenho em 51’. […]
Hvězdný Rantanen má ve Finsku pletky se soudem. Hrozí mu tučná pokuta
Nejde přitom o fakt, že by se Rantanen ve Finsku povinné službě vyhnul. Osmadvacetiletý rodák z Nousiainenu ji absolvoval letos v létě. Jenže původně měl nastoupit už 15. dubna loňského roku. Tehdy nicméně ještě bojoval s Coloradem v NHL, a tak podal žádost o odklad. Až potud by vše bylo v souladu se zákonem.Jenže ona žádost přišla armádě pozdě. Konkrétně 21 hodin poté, co už měl být součástí pluku. A za to Finovi hrozí pokuta. „Rantanen si příkaz k zahájení služby nepřečetl pečlivě. V důsledku toho opustil bez oprávnění své místo v armádě,“ stojí podle listu Ilta-Sanomat v žalobě.Z tohoto důvodu se státní zastupitelství domnívá, že se Rantanen dopustil nepovolené absence. Navzdory faktu, že jeho žádost o odklad branné povinnosti byla schválena. Prokuratura nyní požaduje, aby byl tahoun Dallasu potrestán pokutou ve výši deseti až patnácti denních sazeb. Ty se vyměřují z měsíčního platu konkrétního jedince.„V krátkosti mohu konstatovat, že došlo k řadě chyb, které se Mikko pokusil […]

Jak upřesnil Globo Esporte, ultras vtrhli po ostudné prohře do tréninkového centra klubu Vila Belmiro.

Bylo slyšet, jak vůdce skupiny říká Neymarovi: „Jsi hvězdou tohoto týmu, jsi kapitán. Jsi jedním z nejlepších hráčů na planetě, tak se snaž. Jestli brečíš ty, představ si zbytek těchto kluků, co jsou tady se mnou, brácho,“ zaútočil na slavného hráče.„Děláte si z nás legraci. Na zápas přijde 55 000 lidí a vy takhle. To, co předvádíte na hřišti, fakt nestačí. Vím, že je to násilí, ale zasloužíte dostat facku otevřenou dlaní. To je realita,“ nebral si servítky lídr ultras.💥 El duro momento que vive Neymar en el SantosUltras del equipo fueron a pedir explicaciones por la última goleada que recibieron de Vasco da Gama […]
