On Saturday, May 25, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, watched a match between NHL hockey teams the Dallas Stars and the Edmonton Oilers at American Airlines Center in Dallas.
In one video shared on social media by the Dallas Stars, Kelce nodded and smiled while standing in what appeared to be a suite at the match, which was game two of the Western Conference finals in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
In the caption of the post, the team gave a fun nod to Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, as they noted they would be happy to have the NFL player on their hockey team.
“We've got a Blank Space (on the back of a Stars jersey), and we'll write your name @tkelce,” the Dallas Star's caption read, referencing lyrics from Swift's hit song "Blank Space."
A second video posted jointly by the Stars and ESPN showed Kelce chatting and laughing with others at the match.
"Travis Kelce enjoying some playoff hockey in Dallas 🏒," the post's caption read.
The athlete's attendance at the match, which saw the Stars beat the Oilers 3-1, caught the attention of his Chiefs teammate, Patrick Mahomes, who jokingly teased Kelce for attending a match at the stadium, having himself grown up in Tyler, Texas.
“Yo get out of my arena!! @tkelce😂😂😂 go @DallasStars!!!” Mahomes, 28, wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
In response, Kelce replied, "😂😂😂 gotta love playoff hockey baby!!! You’ve never even skated!”
