Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce made a stylish appearance at Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final on Thursday night.

The couple were spotted holding hands as they arrived at the Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida, to watch the Florida Panthers face the Edmonton Oilers.

Swift looked effortlessly chic in an Area Crystal Trim Track Jacket, paired with matching Crystal Trim Track Shorts. She completed the look with Prada Buffalo Neoprene Lace Up Chelsea Ankle Boot while Kelce wore a red long-sleeved top, matching shorts, and a pair of red-and-white sneakers.

The couple sat together and chatted throughout the game, even standing up and clapping along with the crowd as they cheered on the teams.

However, the evening wasn’t without controversy. Fans quickly took to social media to criticise Swift for sitting next to hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, who is a known supporter of Donald Trump. 

Many expressed disappointment, with some questioning her choice of company given the political ties. Gretzky's association with Trump has sparked backlash in both the US and Canada.

Despite the controversy, Swift and Kelce seemed to enjoy the game, with Swift remaining unfazed by the criticism surrounding her seating choice.
