Watch: Taylor Swift's surprise 'Shake It Off' performance
Nailed it! Taylor Swift whipped out her guitar for a surprise performance of one of her biggest songs at an American football summit hosted by her boyfriend.
This year's Tight End University event attendees were treated to a sweet surprise.
Taylor Swift performed an acoustic version of her 2014 hit, 'Shake It Off,' at the event's opening night after-party in Nashville.
Dressed in a short black dress and boots, Swift told the crowd that they had "just figured out" they would do the song three minutes earlier.
The 35-year-old is clearly a pro, as she nailed the live performance despite the short notice.
"That's so spontaneous and amazing. Love her adaptability," an X user said.

Swift's boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, co-founded Tight End University in 2021 with fellow tight ends George Kittle and Greg Olsen.
According to its website, the three-day summit aims to support athletes.
"Over the course of the summit, attendees are able to 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."
Swift and Kelce made their "red carpet" debut at the event.
A video shared on Tight End University's official Instagram page shows them walking hand in hand as they pose for pictures.
While the lovebirds have been spotted together at several events in the past, they have not officially walked a red carpet together.
"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!" one Instagram user commented.
Another user added: "This, as their first red carpet appearance, is kinda perfect!"
We love it when music and sports collide!
