There’s a good chance you heard that superstar singer Taylor Swift held an impromptu performance last week in Nashville during Tight End University.

Swift was at the annual teaching camp for football players in support of her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. But Swift was just one of the many girlfriends and wives of the football players who were on hand.

Kelce and his co-founders of Tight End University, the 49ers’ George Kittle and former tight end Greg Olsen, made sure the partners of the football players enjoyed themselves, too.

Kittle’s wife, Claire, held a luncheon for the women on one of the days when the football players were working on their craft. They also gathered for other events, including Swift singing “Shake It Off.”

Some of those significant others shared behind-the-scenes photos and videos of what they did during Tight End U.

Robyn Ruckert, who is married to Jets tight end Jeremy Ruckert, shared TikTok videos from each day she was at Tight End U.
