They are the world's newest couple, and this week they captured headlines after they were seen three together on the opening night of Tight End U in Nashville, Tennessee. The couple walked in together hand- in-hand. A lot of fans are calling this their first official red carpet debut as a couple, even if it is not a red carpet event according to the traditional entertainment standards.
Tight End U is an annual football training event beginning on June 23rd created by Kelce, George Kittle and Greg Olsen. Though there is a specific agenda to the event about training and developing the NFL tight ends, the couple's appearance was a good shot of celebrity coverage.
Swift and Kelce posed at the branded photo backdrop location at the entrance of the event, allowing for the glitzy images that humorously took on a red carpet vibe. This was all captured, posted quickly to social, and thrilled football and music fans alike. Many immediately commented on the fact that even though Swift's backdrop looked much less formal than a Hollywood red carpet premiere, it seemed like the beginning of a very public step in signifying an important relationship milestone.
Swift wore a stunning green and white checkerboard crop top and skirt, while Kelce was dressed casually in a plain white t-shirt with yellow sleeves trim, beige shorts, and white sneakers. They looked like they were dressed to each of their comfort levels and both clearly gleeful, smiling, as they entered the event together.
The couple's attendance together at Tight End University created a buzz more than just celebrity status it was the blending of both lives that stood out. Swift, one of the biggest worldwide pop stars in the past several years has been recognizable at NFL games as of late. Swift's endorsement of Kelce the Kansas City Chiefs tight end has gone from speculation and rumor to pretty blatant given that the Chiefs won the Super Bowl earlier this year.
This Nashville location offers a more relaxing atmosphere compared to a typical red carpet scene but the couple getting ready to walk out together and pose for pictures is still meaningful to some. It was essentially a large public declaration of their relationship for fans and media.
According to reports, Swift is expected to be at more of Kelce's games this coming NFL season. With her Eras Tour on hold, sources say, she has more flexibility in her schedule and wants to spend more time supporting Kelce throughout the year.
Inside the event, the two took a group photo with the Tight End University founders and their significant others. They were also seen at the after-party to the evening - continuing to support each other for the betterment of not only themselves but for the entire football community.
While not a traditional red carpet, the appearance at Tight End University is being regarded as a pivotal time showing the growth of Swift and Kelce's public relationship; the blend of glamor associated with pop culture and the energy of a professional sport offered a rare look at how the two worlds can mesh.
