STANLEY CUP SHOCK: Swift and Kelce’s NHL Finals Performance Gave Fans a Drop—And It Wasn’t Just Date Night

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce stunned hockey fans after making a shock appearance at Thursday’s Stanley Cup Final between the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers.

The superstar couple, who have been enjoying a romantic vacation in Florida during NFL legend Travis’ offseason break, were spotted taking in some NHL action at Amerant Bank Arena almost an hour after rumors of their attendance first surfaced.

According to ESPN’s Greg Wyshynski, a helicopter landed near the venue roughly 50 minutes before the puck drop, with the VIP entrance and elevators to the press box also closed to the public as Kelce and Swift made their grand arrival.

They were first seen walking through the corridors of the arena and heading out to their seats shortly after the game had begun in Florida.

The pop megastar wore a stylish cream white jacket with matching shorts and vanilla leather boots, while her beau opted for more of a casual look in a red sweater, matching shorts, white sneakers and a baseball cap.

Yet despite talk of a secret wedding, Taylor was not flashing a wedding ring at the game, instead wearing the sparkly diamond ‘TNT’ bracelet – short for ‘Travis and Taylor’ – that her lover famously had made for her last year.

They were then picked out by TNT Sports cameras sitting in the stands as Kelce showed his girlfriend something on his phone.

Swift seemed in astonishment at whatever he had on his screen as she appeared to say: ‘Oh wow!’

Travis and Taylor were in the house for a crucial battle between the Panthers and the Oilers on Thursday night, which the visitors won in overtime to level the series at 2-2.

As the hosts stormed into an early 3-0 lead in Game 4, they were seen celebrating in the stands as Kelce high-fived another member of the crowd.

Yet during the third period, Swift sparked controversy when she was seen sitting next to hockey legend and Donald Trump ally Wayne Gretzky.

It comes less than a month since Trump took a random shot at her when he bizarrely claimed on Truth Social that he is the reason she is ‘no longer hot.’

Liberals and Swift’s legion of diehard fans were therefore not happy to see her in the company of a full-blown Trump ally on Thursday night.

‘Ugh with a trumpster so disappointed,’ one Swiftie wrote on X.

Another posted: ‘it’s unfortunate he’s a huge maga trumpie’.

‘Would be great if taylor swift could stop associating with trump supporters actually,’ said a third.

‘Noo taylor get out of there,’ a fourth warned.

While one simply put along with a Canadian flag: ‘Boooooooo’.

Some of Swift’s most loyal supporters were even unsure if the picture of their idol sitting with Gretzky was actually real.

One asked: ‘is this ai?’

Swift and Kelce had been keeping a relatively low profile this offseason until they were seen having dinner together in West Palm Beach last month.

They then briefly left Florida to attend the Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s family wedding in Nashville last week.

Taylor gave guests the shock of a lifetime after joining her man as he celebrated his cousin, Tanner Corum, tying the knot.

Footage emerged online of them enjoying the reception as they watched Tanner and his bride, Samantha Peck, share their first dance together.

Swift was also spotted cuddling up to Kelce while sitting together at the reception in photos fans were quick to brand ‘cozy’ on social media.

The songstress’ appearance at the wedding in Nashville came just a few days after her and Travis’ latest glitzy date night together.

They were seen visiting Buccan, a James Beard-nominated restaurant in Palm Beach, and before leaving the establishment hand-in-hand as they greeted fans while making their way home in a black SUV.

The restaurant is located a short drive away from Kelce’s $20million mansion in nearby Boca Raton.

A day after his date night with Taylor, Travis was seen was seen entering a workout facility in Palm Beach, Florida for a game of padel – the popular racket sport played on an enclosed court with walls.

The latter was seen wearing a maroon shirt, black mesh shorts, and a gray hat as he arrived to play some padel on Friday.

Swift and Kelce have been making the most of some down time together before the latter gets his NFL training camp underway next month.

The 35-year-old Chiefs hero, who is set to begin his 13th NFL season this year, did not return to Kansas City to join the rest of his teammates as OTAs began on Tuesday.

Instead, he was spotted in Miami arriving at a gym sporting a white ballcap, a grey t-shirt and shorts, and flip flops while carrying a black-and-white patterned bag.

On Monday, Travis was also seen out enjoying himself at some form of golfing event.

He posed for a photo with former Carolina Panthers and Chicago Bears tight end Greg Olsen at the Kiawah Island golf resort in South Carolina.

It’s not clear if Kelce plans on skipping all of the Chiefs’ OTAs or if he will eventually make his way up to join the team.
