Travis Kelce uses sweet nickname for Taylor Swift to celebrate surprise Nashville performance

Travis Kelce is down bad.

The Kansas City Chiefs player sweetly shouted out Taylor Swift’s surprise performance Tuesday at the Tight End & Friends concert via Instagram.

The athlete, 35, commented on the NFL’s video of the pop star, also 35, belting out “Shake It Off” onstage alongside country singer Kane Brown.

“Turn me up Tay Tay!!!” Kelce gushed, adorably referring to his girlfriend by a nickname.

Swifties swooned over the athlete’s comment, with one quipping that they “know a no. 1 swiftie when [they] see one.”

Another added, “y’all are goals.”

Swift’s impromptu Nashville show marked her first since buying back her masters in May for a reported $360 million.

Brown, 31, poked fun at the viral moment with an Instagram post Wednesday, joking, “When you think you’re the special guest BUT you’re not 😂.”

Sophia Scott, Graham Barham, Chase Rice, Jordan Davis, Luke Combs performed before the surprise Brooklyn Bowl duet — and Swift borrowed Rice’s acoustic guitar when she took the stage.

Kelce was caught on camera dancing to the song.

The previous day, he and Swift packed on the PDA while listening to a slowed-down remix of the 2014 song at the Tight End University opening ceremony.

The annual event, which Kelce co-founded in 2021, marked the couple’s “red carpet debut,” according to fans.

Swift stunned in a green gingham skirt set designed by Hunter Bell while walking hand-in-hand with the three-time Super Bowl winner.

The duo have been together since the summer of 2023.
