Kittle, who has become friendly with Swift, 36, through Kelce, also 36, told viewers, "We threw a concert, in Nashville, rented out the Brooklyn bowl. We had, like, eight country musicians, surprise appearances by Luke Combs and Taylor Swift."
The San Francisco 49ers star described all of the performances as "pretty awesome" before revealing, "I've never heard 1,000 people scream louder than for 'Shake It Off.'"
Swift dazzled the crowd as she performed the famed 2014 track, with an exclusive source gushing about the moment to PEOPLE last June.

"Taylor surprised the crowd by joining Kane Brown onstage for ‘Shake It Off.’ The crowd lost their minds! At the end of her performance she made sure to thank the band and gave each one of them a hug," the source said.
Kittle previously spoke about Swift's surprise performance during the March 17 episode of the Bussin' with the Boys podcast, where he joked that Swift was "bullied" into performing. "Last year, when Travis told me Taylor was coming to Tight End University, I was like, 'That's sick. If she wants to go to anything, here are the events that we have planned,' and she showed up to everything," Kittle said on the podcast.
Kittle also joked that "the only reason" Swift performed at the concert, which featured a set from Luke Combs, "is because my mom and Claire's mom were like, 'You should totally sing' and like, kind of bullied her into doing it."
