Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift may have just meant to enjoy a low-key night at the Stanley Cup, but the spotlight followed them anyway—especially one particularly revealing moment that sent Swifties into a mild panic online.
The power duo, currently soaking up the Florida sun while Kelce preps for the next NFL season, popped up unexpectedly at the Panthers vs. Oilers game on Thursday night.
It was a thrilling one too—Edmonton edged out a wild 5-4 win, tying the series 2-2.
But as much as hockey fans were glued to the ice, a chunk of the internet was just as focused on what was going on up in the VIP suites.
Taylor Looked Effortlessly Chic—But Travis’s Shorts Stole the Show (Literally)
Taylor, 35, kept it classy in a stylish, relaxed sweatsuit.
Kelce rolled in repping his Chiefs roots in a red sweater and shorts combo.
But those shorts? Let’s just say they may have been a bit too short for comfort.
Cameras zoomed in on the couple chatting, and that’s when some fans began to get nervous.
Travis, at one point, was lounging in a way that had social media on edge—fearing another wardrobe malfunction from the NFL star.
“Travis please close your legs I feel anxious,” one fan reposted with a clip from the suite.
Another chimed in, “I DIDN’T WANNA BE THE ONE TO SAY IT but holy hell the manspreading.
I’m stressing for him.”
Still, some fans were so taken by Taylor’s look they barely noticed the near-miss.
Not Travis’s First Short Shorts Incident…
This isn’t new territory for Kelce.
Way back in 2020, before Taylor was in the picture, he already had one infamous fashion slip during an interview on comedian Andrew Santino’s podcast.
Santino shared the story later, laughing about how tight the setup was and how the camera angles captured… more than expected.
“My editor called me like, ‘Bro, I don’t know how to tell you this, but Travis was falling out of his shorts.’”
Santino ended up editing the footage by humorously covering Kelce’s exposed bits with a Kansas City Chiefs logo.
Kelce took it in stride, joking that he simply hadn’t been wearing his trusty Tommy John underwear that day.
NFL Season Ahead and Taylor’s Got Time
Despite talks of retirement following the Chiefs’ Super Bowl loss to the Eagles last year, Kelce is locked in for another run with Kansas City.
Their 2025 campaign kicks off in Brazil against the LA Chargers on September 5.
And for once, Taylor will be there without having to squeeze in tour dates.
According to a PEOPLE insider, this will be the first NFL season since their relationship began where Taylor’s schedule is wide open.
No cross-country flights between shows and stadiums—just cheering on her man.
“She’s excited,” the source said.
“It’s a totally different pace.
She gets to really be present this season, and she’s loving that.”
So, What’s Next for Travis and Taylor?
They’ve already made surprise appearances at football games, award shows, concerts—and now hockey playoffs.
With Swift on a break from touring and Kelce laser-focused on one more NFL season, fans can expect even more public sightings (and possibly more short shorts).
And if one thing’s certain, wherever these two show up next, the internet will be watching.
