June 25 (UPI) -- Taylor Swift's unprecedented run of shows for the Eras Tour might be over, but she made some "Wildest Dreams" reality with a return to the stage for a surprise performance, belting out her hit "Shake it Off" in Nashville.
Swift took the stage at the Tight Ends & Friends Concert on Tuesday at Brooklyn Bowl Nashville. Luke Combs, Chase Rice, Jordan Davis, Sophia Scott, Graham Barham and Kane Brown were among the other performers.
"We would like to dedicate this to our favorite players, who are going to play, and these are the tight ends," Swift said, referencing the lyrics to her hit song from the 2014 album 1989.
Social media users shared videos of the performance, including several from the Nashville Gal Instagram account.
The event was associated with Tight End University, an annual three-day program -- co-founded by Swift's boyfriend and Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce -- that brings together NFL tight ends for various drills and activities.
This year's event started Monday and will be held through Thursday at Vanderbilt University. The official Tight End University social media platforms shared photos and videos of Swift and Kelce on Tuesday night before the concert. The account also shared photos of several other star tight ends in attendance, including fellow co-founders George Kittle and Greg Olsen.
Later Tuesday, Swift borrowed Kane Brown's guitar and took the stage with the country star, triggering screams from the crowd packed into Brooklyn Bowl Nashville.
More than 50 tight ends committed to attend the 2025 edition of Tight End University, including Dallas Goedert, Brock Bowers, T.J. Hockenson and Evan Engram.
The performance marked Swift's first known concert since she bought back her master recordings of her first six albums from Shamrock Capital.
