George Kittle was thrilled to learn last year through Travis Kelce that Taylor Swift would be performing at their Tight End University. He revealed that his mom and mother-in-law encouraged the “Reputation singer” to add “Shake It Off” to her set. He also credited Swift for including Luke Combs to perform at the event.
George Kittle comments on Taylor Swift singing at TEU
During a conversation on the Bussin’ with the Boys podcast, Kittle opened up about Swift‘s performance at his and Kelce’s Tight End University. He shared how he reacted to the Swift news. Kittle said, “Last year when Travis told me Taylor was coming to Tight End University, I was like, ‘That’s sick. If she wants to go to anything, here are the events that we have planned,’ and she showed up to everything.”
Kittle further revealed that she agreed to perform “Shake It Off” as well, at her mom and mother-in-law’s insistence. He added that the duo kind of “bullied” her into singing the mega-hit song at TEU. However, he later clarified that no one can bully Swift and that he was just joking. As Swift’s performance also featured a set from Luke Combs, Kittle claimed that Combs joined her for the song, adding that it was quite funny to watch.
Sharing his experience of the concert and admiration for both singers, he added, “That’s the funniest thing, too—like Luke Combs singing ‘Buy Dirt,’ and then two artists later, Taylor Swift comes out and just brings the house down. I’ve never actually heard a venue be that loud before. That was awesome. Yeah, it was incredible. She owned the stage, too. She knew exactly what she was doing and how she was doing it. Yeah, she’s incredible. She’s a pro. She’s a true outlier.”
Swift and Kelce, who got engaged in August last year, are now all set to tie the knot this year, with an official date yet to be disclosed. However, as per ESPN, they could get married before the Chiefs star’s training camp begins.
