Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have made their red-carpet debut!
The pop superstar and Kansas City Chiefs football player, both 35, walked hand-in-hand into the opening night ceremony for Tight End University in Nashville. Kelce founded the annual three-day summer training camp in 2021 with fellow NFL stars George Kittle and sportscaster Greg Olsen.
According to the event’s website, the camp was founded to help tight ends “bond, collaborate with, and learn amongst their peers while participating in a variety of activities including film study, on-field drills, recovery, rehabilitation, and more.”
A video posted by the Tight End University Instagram page shows the couple beaming as they walk a red carpet into the event.
Swift was dressed in a green and white checkerboard top and a matching peplum skirt. Kelce complemented his girlfriend’s look in a white collared tee with yellow embellishments, matching shorts, and white sneakers.
In the comment section, fans couldn’t help but point out that it was the first time the couple had walked a red carpet together.
“So, are we calling this their first ‘red carpet’ but casual?” one fan wrote.
“The red carpet moment that the world has waited on for two years happened at TEU? I kind of love this. Met Gala? Grammys? Hell no we’re doing TEU! 👏👏” another comment said. The NFL also posted an Instagram photo of their arrival, showing the couple looking happy and excited.
Another post on the Tight End University Instagram page showed a photo of its founders smiling from ear to ear as they posed with their significant others.
Swift and Kelce stood on one side of the photo while Olsen and his wife, Kara, stood in the middle. On the other side, Kittle stood with his wife, Claire.
“Good vibes only 🔥,” the caption read.
The night also included an afterparty, which was attended by Swift and Kelce as seen through photos shared on Instagram and X.

Earlier this month, a source told PEOPLE that Swift is “really looking forward to the upcoming NFL season,” to be able to support Kelce.
“Not just because she loves supporting Travis, but because for the first full season since they started dating, she’s not juggling a packed tour schedule,” the source said, referring to the start of their relationship in 2023.
