With reports suggesting that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are planning to tie the knot during the Fourth of July weekend, most attention has been focused on the power couple’s rumored wedding plans.
However, San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle may have just provided some insight into Swift’s summer plans before the wedding.
Tight End University, a special annual event co-founded by Kelce, Kittle, and former NFL tight end Greg Olsen in 2021, is preparing for its sixth edition, and Kittle has hinted that Swift may perform at this year’s event.
George Kittle Drops Biggest Hint Yet That Taylor Swift Will Return to Tight End University
While Kittle stopped short of confirming anything, he certainly left the door open for another headline-grabbing appearance from Swift at TEU in Nashville.
During an appearance on the “Up & Adams Show” with Kay Adams, Kittle was asked whether fans could expect a cameo from Swift or whether she would hit the stage at TEU’s country show.
“I can’t confirm or deny,” Kittle said, while nodding aggressively.
Earlier, during an appearance on “The Rich Eisen Show”, the 49ers star revealed that 10 different artists would be performing during this year’s festivities. However, he remained coy when asked about the possibility of Swift being among them.
“I can’t announce people performing that are on tour, but I’m just going to let you know that it’s a very cool lineup that I’m very excited about,” Kittle said.
This wouldn’t be the first time that Swift turned heads at Tight End University. Last year, she made a memorable appearance that went viral across social media.
Swift stole the show during the 2025 Tight Ends & Friends concert in Nashville, surprising attendees with a performance of her hit song “Shake It Off” alongside country music star Kane Brown.
“This year, when we sent out the invite sheet, we had 30 people sign up in the first two days, and out of the 30 people, 29 of them were bringing their significant other,” Kittle told Eisen. “So I don’t know if they were influencing their husbands to sign up early.”
Kittle revealed that registrations continued to climb throughout the offseason, with more than 80 players committed to attending by June 1.
“This is the best attendance I think we’ll ever have,” he added.
This year’s TEU will run from June 23-26 in Nashville. The sixth edition of the event will bring together many of the NFL’s top tight ends for four days of training sessions, film study, recovery work, and networking opportunities while also raising money for charitable causes.
For the first time, fans will also be able to attend the TEU Player Field Workout and FanZone at Vanderbilt Stadium on June 23. Later that evening, the annual Tight Ends & Friends concert will take place at The Pinnacle, the same event where Swift stunned attendees with her surprise performance last year.
While Kittle certainly seems to be hinting that Swift will take the stage, her connection to TEU has already elevated an interest in the event.
What began as a niche offseason summit for tight ends now attracts attention from both football fans and Swifties alike, so all eyes will be on Nashville later this month.
