Travis Kelce's idea has blossomed into a huge event. ... but nothing in the world of entertainment is bigger than Taylor Swift.

And the attendees at this week's Tight End University were this week to both.

This thing has become so big that it's now a live broadcast on ESPN ... and in this year's event's case ... it also featured a special appearance from Taylor Swift.

TEU was founded in 2021 by NFL tight ends Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs, George Kittle of the San Francisco 49ers and Fox analyst Greg Olsen. It's grown into a massive three-day summit that not only attracts the best tight ends in pro and college football, but also elite quarterbacks such as the Dallas Cowboys' Dak Prescott and future Hall of Famer Tom Brady to throw passes to the campers.

More than 75 players committed to attend this year's TEU, held at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. On the list of attendees is Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl champion Dallas Goedert and Las Vegas Raiders All-Pro Brock Bowers.

But it was the kick-off party that shocked everyone when Swift waltzed in ...

And later, as she put on a private concert, Swift posed for photos with attendees.

This marks Swift's first concert since her blockbuster Eras Tour ... and it happens in conjunction with an announcement of another Swifties milestone.

Per "SpotifySwiftie," Swift’s song “this is me trying” has officially surpassed 500 million streams on Spotify. ... and notably, this is the 51st song of her career to hit that mark.

And a bunch of tight ends and their family and friends are now a part of the party.
