Swift and Kelce Spark Frenzy at Stanley Cup Final
Power Couple’s Surprise Appearance Electrifies Hockey Fans
A whirlwind romance continues to turn heads, as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce made an unexpected appearance at Thursday’s Stanley Cup Final showdown between the Florida Panthers and the Edmonton Oilers, sending fans into a frenzy.
Grand Entrance
The celebrated couple, currently enjoying a break in Florida during Kelce’s NFL offseason, were spotted at Amerant Bank Arena nearly an hour after initial reports surfaced of their potential attendance. According to ESPN’s Greg Wyshynski, a helicopter landed near the venue approximately 50 minutes before the game began, while access to the VIP entrance and elevators leading to the press box were temporarily restricted.

Footage captured by Sportsnet showed the pair walking through the arena corridors towards their seats after the game had already commenced. Swift showcased a chic ensemble featuring a cream white jacket, matching shorts, and vanilla leather boots, while Kelce opted for a more relaxed look in a red sweater, shorts, white sneakers, and a baseball cap.
No Ring, But a Symbol of Love
Despite speculation surrounding a secret wedding, Swift was not seen wearing a wedding ring. Instead, she sported the dazzling diamond ‘TNT’ bracelet – a gift from Kelce symbolizing “Travis and Taylor” – that he famously commissioned last year.
Cameras caught Kelce showing Swift something on his phone, prompting a visibly astonished reaction. She reportedly exclaimed, “Oh wow!”

Panthers’ Early Lead
The couple arrived as the Florida Panthers were building an early 3-0 lead in Game 4, and were seen celebrating in the stands as Kelce exchanged a high-five with a fellow fan. The Panthers are currently aiming to take a 3-1 series lead in the Stanley Cup Finals.
Recent Appearances
Prior to their hockey outing, Swift and Kelce had maintained a relatively low profile, with a recent dinner in West Palm Beach and a brief trip to Nashville for Kelce’s cousin’s wedding. They were seen enjoying the reception, with footage emerging of them dancing during the first dance of the newlyweds, Tanner Corum and Samantha Peck.
Their latest date night involved a visit to Buccan, a James Beard-nominated restaurant in Palm Beach, where they greeted fans before departing in a black SUV. The restaurant is conveniently located near Kelce’s $20 million mansion in Boca Raton. According to Statista, the NHL generated $5.24 billion in revenue in the 2022-2023 season, demonstrating the league’s significant economic impact. Statista
Offseason Activities
While Kelce has been enjoying his offseason, he has remained active, recently spotted playing padel in Palm Beach and attending a golfing event in South Carolina with former NFL player Greg Olsen. He has not yet joined his Kansas City Chiefs teammates for OTAs, but it remains unclear if he will skip all of the team’s organized training activities.
As the couple continues to enjoy their downtime, all eyes remain on their next move, both on and off the field.
