Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have rare date night in Florida at Stanley Cup Final: Photos
It's date night in "Florida!!!" for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, who were in attendance at Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final.
The couple showed up hand-in-hand at Amerant Bank Arena for the NHL showdown between the Florida Panthers and the Edmonton Oilers in Sunrise, Florida.
Swift had her hair back in a braided ponytail with her signature red lip. Towering in heeled ivory boots, she donned a beige romper at the NHL matchup. Kelce had a red matching sweatshirt, shorts and red-billed cap.
In a clip posted to X, the announcer said, "Musical and sporting royalty arriving."

During the second period of the game, the couple was even photographed sitting with hockey icon Wayne Gretzky.
The outing marked a rare public date night for the couple. Kelce, 35, is in the offseason following his Super Bowl loss with the Kansas City Chiefs in February, falling short of a three-peat trophy win. Swift's in an offseason of her own, having wrapped her record-setting, nearly 150-show Eras Tour in December.
The two have recently been spotted out and about in South Florida while Kelce is reportedly renting a property in Boca Raton.
Over the previous weekend, the duo traveled north to make a grand appearance at Kelce's cousin Tanner Corum's wedding in Knoxville, Tennessee. The internet was flooded with various selfies and family photos Swift took with fellow guests.
And, of course, the Florida date night comes on the heels of Swift's major victory in buying back the rights to all of her recordings, artwork and other materials related to her first six albums from her time with Big Machine Records, ranging from 2006's "Taylor Swift" to 2017's "Reputation."
Should the Panthers win Game 4, they would just need one more win to secure their second straight Stanley Cup victory. If the Oilers from up north win, the series will see a 2-2 tie.

Fans Beg Travis Kelce To 'Close His Legs' After 'Manspreading' At Stanley Cup Game
and made headlines once again, this time for their surprise appearance at the Stanley Cup Finals on Thursday night in Florida. But while the power couple's presence thrilled many, it also sparked a wave of fan reactions ranging from playful panic to heated backlash, specifically regarding Travis Kelce's outfit of choice. The couple, currently spending their summer in the Sunshine State as Kelce gears up for the upcoming NFL season, took a break from their routines to watch the Florida Panthers take on the Edmonton Oilers. The intense Game 4 ended in a nail-biting 5-4 victory for the Oilers, tying the series 2-2, but the action in the stands was just as buzzworthy. Swift turned heads in a chic, laid-back sweatsuit while Kelce repped his Kansas City pride in a bold red sweater and shorts. But the Chiefs star's shorts were a bit too short for some fans' comfort, especially when the camera zoomed in during an intimate moment in the couple's VIP suite. 'Travis, please close your legs. I feel anxious,' one X user wrote on social media, resharing the clip. 'I DIDN'T WANNA BE THE ONE TO SAY IT, but holy hell, the manspreading. I'm stressing for him,' another joked, referencing the NFL star's past wardrobe malfunction during an interview with comedian Andrew Santino. "That was way more than I needed to see Travis," a third wrote. "MY EYES," someone else said. While Travis Kelce's leg-baring moment had fans nervously laughing, Swift wasn't as lucky in the comments section. The pop superstar once again found herself under fire from critics who accused her of 'ruining everything' just by showing up. 'We don't care about Taylor Swift!' one user ranted. 'Do they really need to ruin hockey too?' another chimed in. 'Get her away from the game.' The backlash echoes the scrutiny Swift faced throughout the NFL season, where some viewers voiced their frustration over her on-screen presence during Kelce's games. But not everyone was here for the hate. 'The comments here are disgusting,' one fan wrote in her defense. 'If a woman attending a hockey game bothers you so much, TV isn't for you! I guarantee she has significantly less screen time than any commercial you sit through.' "Allow me to say it again: if you are mad that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are shown, that's a you problem," someone else said. "Because I don't see any slander of any other celebrity when they're shown. Just look at the two; they're so happy to be together and that makes me happy." While their Stanley Cup appearance stirred plenty of controversy, not all the buzz surrounding Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce was negative. In fact, one quietly captured moment had fans swooning. Amid whispers of a possible secret wedding, a lip reader has decoded a private exchange between the couple that took place as they arrived at the Amerant Bank Arena in Florida. The intimate moment was caught on camera and later analyzed by expert NJ Hickling, who revealed to Daily Mail just how supportive and adorable Swift was during the chat. According to the breakdown, the two were discussing jackets and a potential role Kelce might play, referencing his recent ventures into acting. Travis Kelce, who's already appeared in "My Dead Friend Zoe," "Happy Gilmore 2," and an upcoming Jean-Michel Basquiat documentary, showed Swift something on his phone. 'Yeah 'cos I'm big, they're quite good jackets. It'll be tailored, has a hat and everything,' Travis reportedly said. Taylor replied with, 'That's crazy,' sipping her drink before he showed her more. She then added, 'Oh wow.' When Travis asked, 'Do you want that?' Taylor didn't miss a beat, smiling and replying sweetly, 'You'd look like a movie star.' The tight end then concluded, 'That looks like the perfect one.' While they haven't addressed the swirling marriage rumors directly, their public appearances, full of effortless affection and inside jokes, are giving fans plenty to speculate (and swoon) over.

49ers' George Kittle Sends Hilarious Message About Brock Purdy
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The San Francisco 49ers made two key moves this offseason with two of their star players. Both George Kittle and Brock Purdy were rewarded with major contract extensions. Kittle received a lucrative four-year, $76.4 million deal to keep him in town. That deal might take him through the rest of his NFL career. As for Purdy, the 49ers' franchise quarterback got a five-year, $265 million deal from San Francisco. Despite trade rumors that started popping up about him, the two sides always wanted to work something out and were able to accomplish that goal. George Kittle #85 of the San Francisco 49ers celebrates with Brock Purdy #13 after a touchdown during the first quarter against the Dallas Cowboys at Levi's Stadium on October 08, 2023 in Santa Clara, California. George Kittle #85 of the San Francisco 49ers celebrates with Brock Purdy #13 after a touchdown during the first quarter against the Dallas Cowboys at Levi's Stadium on October 08, 2023 in Santa Clara, California. Photo byWith the two players receiving major pay raises this offseason, Kittle spoke out and offered a lighthearted joke about his teammate's new contract. Read more: 49ers' Christian McCaffrey Speaks Out With Major Injury Update "He did get paid half a country, good for him," Kittle said. "He's buying everything from here on out. Hopefully, he's paying for the Halloween party this year, and it's not me and Juice anymore." Over the last three years, Purdy and Kittle have had a lot of success together. That seems likely to continue for the foreseeable future with both players locked up long-term. Last season, Purdy struggled a bit compared to what fans have come to know and expect from him. He played in 15 games and completed 65.9 percent of his pass attempts for 3,864 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. On the other hand, Kittle had another productive season at the tight end position. He racked up 78 receptions for 1,106 yards and eight touchdowns. Even at 31 years old, Kittle is still among the elite tight ends in the NFL and is one of the most consistent weapons any quarterback could ask to play with.

San Francisco missed the playoffs last season after being in the Super Bowl the year before. Getting back to the playoffs and making a run will be their one and only goal. Clearly, these two stars are on the same page and are close friends. Kittle is happy for Purdy getting his new deal and vice versa. Hopefully, they can lead the 49ers back to contention and reward the franchise for believing in them with their massive new contracts.
