Taylor Swift Praised for What She Did During Oilers-Panthers Game
Taylor Swift Praised for What She Did During Oilers-Panthers Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
After lying low for several months, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, are slowly stepping back into the spotlight.
The 10-time Pro Bowler and Swift, who've spent the bulk of the offseason in Florida, were spotted at Harry's Bar & Restaurant in West Palm Beach over Memorial Day Weekend before dining at Buccan restaurant in Palm Beach last week.
The famous couple appeared to have a blast while attending the 10-time Pro Bowler's cousin's wedding in Knoxville, Tennessee, happily posing with family members and fellow guests.
On Thursday night, the 14-time Grammy winner and Kelce were back in the Sunshine State to catch before Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers.
The couple received a warm welcome from the TNT Sports crew with analyst Jackie Redmond dropping Swift-related comments throughout the broadcast.
After the Oilers came back from a three-point deficit to tie the game, the Amerant Bank Arena started playing "Shake It Off." NHL great Wayne Gretzky, who joined Kelce and his brother, Jason Kelce, on their "New Heights" podcast as a guest last week, also visited the couple in their suite.
Just before the third period started, Swift walked down to a crowd that formed by her suite and started to take selfies with fans.
Fans gushed over Swift taking the time out of her date night to take photos with fans. One person wrote, "Oh Taygenerous." An Oilers fan joked, "oh tayprincess being generous and taking pictures with the peasants (panthers fans)."
One special fan who happened to wear a "Midnights" cardigan to the game got to take multiple photos with the singer.
One X user wrote, "Imagine Taylor walking over to sit next to you and using your phone to take a selfie 🥹😭🥺 ahhhhhhh." Another person commented, "Notice how nobody booed her? That's why hockey is better." One Swiftie simply wrote, "i love her."This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 13, 2025, where it first appeared.
