At the end of Kane‘s set, he asked the crowd, “Do y’all care if I bring out a really, really, really, really special guest?”
Taylor then appeared to huge shocks and cheers!
“You know, the one thing tight ends have in common with Nashville musicians is we’re all friends, right? So you know, we’re up there and we’re having some drinks,” Taylor said, pointing to her seats in the crowd with Travis Kelce. “And we were thinking, like, ‘How loud could this place get? Theoretically, how loud could the singing be in here?’ So, I was like, I don’t have a guitar, but then Chase Rice was like, ‘You can use mine.’”
“We would like to dedicate this to our favorite players who are going to play…and these are the tight ends,” she said. Video can be seen on X/Twitter.
Kane also posted a photo with Travis and Taylor, writing, “When you think you’re the special guest BUT you’re not ????.”
If you don’t know, Travis worked with fellow NFL star George Kittle and retired pro Greg Olsen to launch Tight End University, a three-day summer training camp where attendees are given the invaluable opportunity to learn from some of the best to ever play the game.
And if you didn’t see, Taylor and Travis had a major couple moment at the event!
