Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Make Red-Carpet Debut at Tight End University’s Opening Night

The pop icon and NFL superstar walked hand-in-hand into the Nashville event, marking their first official red carpet appearance as a couple — at an event Kelce co-founded.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce just turned a football training camp into a star-studded red carpet moment. The pop superstar and Kansas City Chiefs tight end made their first official red carpet debut as a couple during the opening ceremony of Tight End University in Nashville — an annual NFL training camp Kelce co-founded in 2021 alongside fellow football stars George Kittle and Greg Olsen.

In a twist befitting their uniquely glamorous relationship, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce made their much-anticipated red carpet debut not at a film premiere or award show, but at the opening night of Tight End University (TEU) — a football-centric summer event in Nashville co-founded by Kelce himself.

Held over three days, TEU brings together NFL tight ends from across the league for training, bonding, and mentorship. According to the event’s website, the camp focuses on peer-to-peer collaboration through film study, on-field drills, recovery techniques, and more.

The couple, both 35, were seen walking hand-in-hand, smiling as they made their entrance. A video shared by the official Tight End University Instagram page captured their casual-yet-glamorous moment on the red carpet.

Swift wore a stylish green-and-white checkerboard top with a matching peplum skirt, while Kelce matched the vibe in a white collared tee with yellow accents, coordinated shorts, and white sneakers. Their coordinated looks and effortless chemistry immediately caught the attention of fans.

In the comments section, Swifties and NFL fans alike celebrated the milestone moment.

“So, are we calling this their first ‘red carpet’ but casual?” one fan quipped.
“The red carpet moment the world has waited on for two years happened at TEU? I kind of love this,” wrote another. “Met Gala? Grammys? Hell no — we’re doing TEU!”

The NFL also posted a photo of the couple’s arrival, capturing the moment they stepped into the event with visible excitement and joy.

Another image posted by TEU showed Swift and Kelce posing with the camp’s co-founders and their partners. Swift and Kelce stood at one end, George Kittle and wife Claire on the other, with Greg Olsen and his wife Kara in the middle.
The caption read simply: “Good vibes only 🔥”

The night didn’t end there. The couple also attended the TEU afterparty, with photos from the event circulating on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), showing the pair enjoying the festivities.

A source close to the couple told PEOPLE earlier this month that Swift is excited for the upcoming NFL season, noting it will be the first time since their relationship began that she won’t be juggling an international tour.

“She loves supporting Travis, and this fall will be completely different,” the source said. “It’s the first season where she’s not constantly flying back and forth or working around an entire touring calendar.”

As Swift and Kelce continue to redefine what celebrity couple moments look like — blending pop culture and sports with authenticity — one thing is certain: TEU 2025 just became one of the most talked-about red carpet events of the year.
