Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Make Surprise Appearance at Stanley Cup Final
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.

The Couple’s Appearance at the Game
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 are in the house for a crucial battle between the Panthers and the Oilers on Thursday night, with Florida looking to move 3-1 ahead in this season’s Stanley Cup Finals series.
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.
Controversy Surrounding Swift’s Appearance with Wayne Gretzky
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.

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.
