Some hockey fans are perturbed that the Chiefs tight end and his girlfriend showed up to the Stanley Cup Final.
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have been out of the spotlight recently. After only a couple of recent appearances, there some who apparently wish they would stay hidden.
“Swifties” and haters of the pop star icon and her NFL boyfriend engaged in some back-and-forth after the couple showed up at Game 4 of the NHL’s Stanley Cup Final last week in Florida.
The 14-time Grammy winner and All-Pro tight end watched the game from a private suite at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, where the Edmonton Oilers beat the Panthers in overtime.
Added another, “She’s ruining football and now hockey.”
Supporters of the couple, um, swiftly fired back.
“Allow me to say it again: if you are mad that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are shown, that’s a you problem,” a fan wrote. “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.”
Said another, “TNT understands the assignment — after every goal, you show Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. That’s how it’s done. Every time.”
The official account for the Stanley Cup reposted a video of the couple walking to a suite with the caption, “I wanna be your endgame,” referring to Swift’s song lyrics.
At one point, the couple talked with NHL legend Wayne Gretzky.
Kelce has spent a lot of time training in Florida this offseason, and Swift reportedly joined him.
He moved into a $20 million mansion located in the exclusive Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club in Boca Raton in April.
