The singer’s surprise Nashville show marked her first since she purchased back her music masters earlier this year for an estimated $360 million. Kelce’s comment added fuel to speculation about their relationship, especially after they were seen together at the event, which was part of Kelce’s annual Tight End University—a gathering he co-founded in 2021.

Kelce was seen dancing and enjoying the moment during her performance, and Swift was spotted holding Kelce’s hair affectionately. The day before, the two shared a sweet PDA moment while listening to a slowed-down remix of her 2014 hit “Shake It Off” at the same event.
