Travis Kelce surprised guests by stepping behind the DJ booth at the Tight Ends and Friends party in San Francisco on February 5, 2026. The event took place as part of the celebrations leading up to the 2026 Super Bowl in Santa Clara, scheduled for February 8, 2026. Travis Kelce, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs, made an unexpected appearance at the party and joined the music hosts for a brief DJ set.
The event was sponsored by Sports Illustrated and Tight End University, an organization co-founded by Travis Kelce himself and fellow NFL player George Kittle. And while his appearance was made for a good cause, what really stole the show was the athlete’s DJ set. He played and remixed songs by hfiancée, Taylor Swift. One of the tracks included was “The Fate of Ophelia,” the main single from Taylor’s latest album, “The Life of a Showgirl.” He was also spotted dancing parts of the song’s well-known choreography, which he initially showed during an October 2025 Chiefs game.
Later in the night, the Chiefs tight-end played another Taylor Swift song, “You Belong with Me,” originally released in 2008 on “Fearless.” He recorded the crowd’s reaction on his phone while standing at the booth. Meanwhile, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift became publicly linked in 2023 and announced their engagement in August 2025. The singer had previously attended several Chiefs games, which helped draw attention to their relationship throughout the NFL season leading into February 2026.
