From her time at Scales Elementary to Brentwood High, Taylor has had a front-row seat to watching Nashville blossom into the city it is today. She was thrilled to have gotten the opportunity to collaborate with legendary NFL Tight Ends George Kittle, Travis Kelce, and Greg Olsen for this year’s Tight End University summit here in Nashville. She was first introduced to TEU while styling five-time Pro Bowler and San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle, and his wife, Claire. In addition to the Kittles, Taylor shares gratitude to Amanda Matos and Peter Raskin of Rubicon Talent Agency for trusting LTPR to help run this year’s events.
“Being trusted to execute such an insane event and watching everyone have such a great time made [all the hard work] worth it. Seeing people really enjoy themselves with what we created is a highlight I will always remember,” Taylor shares, speaking on what it meant to her to watch LTPR play such a massive role in this year’s TEU.
LTPR worked day in and day out to create a memorable experience for all who took part in this year’s Tight End University. In addition to all their hands-on hard work and planning, they were also able to provide the majority of the gifts due to the generosity of their clients and local vendors.
The hospitality center at The Thompson Hotel was designed to perfection thanks to The Studio Alisa x Kailey, a Canadian and Nashville Interior Design Firm and clients of LTPR. Here, the men and women of TEU were greeted with BÉIS luggage filled with gifts secured by the LTPR team. Guests were welcomed with Turtle Box speakers and a custom fitting for their own pair of Justin cowboy boots to wear during their Nashville stay. The wellness centers were also projects of LTPR and featured HD Golf Simulators - flown in all the way from Canada - in addition to services from local businesses, such as facials from CHLOÉ Aesthetics, injections from Elisabeth Smith at Indie RX, IVs from Get Well Health and balloons to complete every space from Party Up Balloon Co. LTPR also hosted Claire Kittle’s ladies’ luncheon at Hampton Social complete with a charm bar from Wood + Wolfe. In true Nashville fashion, guests were also able to create custom cowboy hats from Flea Style at the Tight Ends and Friends concert. Ending the summit with an extravagant pool party at a private residence, Taylor and her team perfectly showcased Nashville and all the city has to offer.
Tight End University was founded and created by George Kittle in 2021 to bring the Tight End community together for an immersive three-day program. Over the course of the week, attendees are able to bond, collaborate with, and learn amongst their peers - including several retired legends - while participating in a variety of activities, including film study, on-field drills, recovery, and rehabilitation. TEU is also passionate about giving back to the community through a variety of charitable initiatives.
“When I moved to the position of Tight End back in college, I was just so fortunate that I really found a love for the game. I love to pass that along to everybody. Then, you get a bunch of good people under one building [and it’s just] really cool that we get to do this every year,” Travis Kelce, reigning Super Bowl champion and all-star Tight End for the Kansas City Chiefs, shares with City Lifestyle.
