Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcestunned 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.

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.

They then briefly left Florida to attend theKansas 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.

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