Travis Kelce played ice hockey in Texas!
On Saturday, May 25, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, watched a game between the NHL hockey teams Dallas Stars and Edmonton Oilers at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.
In one video shared on social media by the Dallas Stars, Kelce nodded and smiled as he stood in what appeared to be a suite at the game, which was Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
In the caption of the post, the team gave a playful nod to Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, as they noted that they would be happy to have an NFL player on their hockey team.
“We have a blank space (on the back of the Stars jersey) and we’re going to write your name @tkelce,” read the Dallas Star’s headline, referencing the lyrics from Swift’s hit song “Blank Space.”

Another video jointly released by the Stars and ESPN showed Kelce talking and laughing with others at the game.
“Travis Kelce enjoys playoff hockey in Dallas 🏒,” read the post’s title.
The athlete’s presence at the game, in which the Stars defeated the Oilers 3-1, caught the attention of his Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes, who jokingly teased Kelce for attending the game at the stadium, since he himself grew up in Tyler, Texas.
“Get out of my arena!! @tkelce😂😂😂 go @DallasStars!!!” Mahomes, 28, he wrote in the post at X (formerly Twitter).
In response, Kelce replied“😂😂😂 you gotta love playoff hockey honey!!! You’ve never even skated!”
