Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift stole the show at the Stanley Cup on Thursday night but there was one moment where even the Swifties feared seeing a little too much of the NFL star.
The power couple are spending the summer in Florida while Kelce is getting in shape for the upcoming NFL season. But they took some time for themselves on Thursday night with a surprise appearance as the Panthers lost a breathtaking game 5-4 to the Edmonton Oilers, who tied the series at 2-2.
Swift, 35, stunned in her elegant sweatsuit while the Chiefs star turned up in a Kansas City-colored red sweater and shorts which, in the eyes of some fans watching from home, were a little too short.
At one stage, as cameras zoomed in on the couple deep in conversation in their VIP suite, they feared Kelce was going to endure the wardrobe malfunction he infamously suffered once before in an interview with his friend Andrew Santino.
‘Travis please close your legs I feel anxious,’ one Swiftie wrote, resharing the clip.
Another said: ‘I DIDNT WANNA BE THE ONE TO SAY IT but holy hell the manspreading. I’m stressing for him.’
Fans feared Travis Kelce could have a wardrobe malfunction on his date night with Taylor Swift
A different fan posted: ‘She looks amazing here. So much so that I didn’t even notice his potential wardrobe malfunction.’
It isn’t the first time Kelce has been under a bit of extra scrutiny for his short shorts.
Before he started dating Swift, Kelce endured the same fashion faux-pas in a 2020 interview on his friend Santino’s podcast.
Comedian Santino recalled the incident during his New Heights appearance last year, saying: ‘We set up [my podcast] at the crib because we were moving, and so it was kind of a tight squeeze and the cameras and the angles, all this stuff.
‘And my editor calls me, and he’s like, “Bro, I don’t know how to tell you this, but Travis was falling out of his shorts…. his boys were sliding out”.
‘And I was like, ‘Oh, no.’ And he goes, ‘Do you wanna, like, call him and reshoot it?’ I said, ‘Just put a Kansas City Chiefs logo over his package whenever it falls out.’
‘I didn’t have my Tommy John’s on,’ an amused Kelce joked to Santino about the incident.
And true to his word, Santino broadcast the interview with the Chiefs logo protecting Travis.
It’s not the first time Kelce has put himself in a difficult situation with how he is sat

They begin their 2025 campaign in Brazil, against the Los Angeles Chargers in Sao Paulo on September 5.
Reports this week have said that Swift is more excited than ever for the football season to begin.
It is the first time she can follow Kelce without tour dates to play since they started dating in September 2023.
‘Taylor is really looking forward to the upcoming NFL season. Not just because she loves supporting Travis, but because for the first full season since they started dating, she’s not juggling a packed tour schedule,’ a source was quoted as saying by PEOPLE.
‘This fall will be completely different,’ the insider continued. ‘It’s the first season where she’s not constantly flying back and forth or working around an entire touring calendar.’
