Taylor Swift surprised attendees this week at NFL star Travis Kelce's charity concert in Tennessee, where she performed an appropriately titled hit (with Lainey Wilson) in front of her soon-to-be husband.

The 36-year-old shocked the audience Tuesday night at the Nashville event when she joined country singer Lainey Wilson on stage at Kelce's annual Tight Ends & Friends concert, which he founded with fellow NFL players George Kittle and Greg Olsen.

On stage amid the "Love Story" duet with Wilson, Swift joked that the song was requested by a "very special tight end," who turned out to be Kittle.**

In video shared by **'s sister publication PEOPLE, Swift can be seen flashing her engagement ring toward the audience when she gets to the song's lyrics, "He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring, and said, 'Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone.'"

This marks the second year in a row that Swift has supported Kelce at Tight Ends & Friends. Last year, Swift made another appearance on stage at the event, singing a surprise performance of “Shake It Off."
