Taylor Swift was spotted sitting next to Wayne Gretzky, a supporter of Donald Trump, at the Stanley Cup Finals in Florida, despite her previous conflicts with the president.

The famous singer, along with her partner Travis Kelce, made a surprise appearance at the Game 4 match between the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night.

During the third period of the game, Swift caused a stir when she was seen observing the final moments alongside Kelce and Gretzky, who has a well-known association with Trump.

Just under a month ago, the latter took a random shot at Taylor when he bizarrely claimed on Truth Social that he is the reason she is ‘no longer hot.’

Liberals and Swift’s legion of diehard fans were therefore not happy to see her in the company of a full-blown Trump ally on Thursday night.

‘Ugh with a trumpster so disappointed,’ one Swiftie wrote on X.

Another posted: ‘it’s unfortunate he’s a huge maga trumpie’.

‘Would be great if taylor swift could stop associating with trump supporters actually,’ said a third.

‘Noo taylor get out of there,’ a fourth warned.

While one simply put along with a Canadian flag: ‘Boooooooo’.

Some of Swift’s most loyal supporters were even unsure if the picture of their idol sitting with Gretzky was actually real.

One asked: ‘is this ai?’

Another user, meanwhile, pointed out that Gretzky may well be in his friend’s bad books after sitting alongside Swift.

‘Trump Will not be happy to see his friend Gretzky with Taylor Swift,’ they concluded.

Gretzky has come under fire both in his homeland of Canada and its contentious neighbor of the United States in recent months over his friendship with the American president. 

Despite threatening to make Canada the 51st US state, and his government placing tariffs on imports from the country, Trump still has the backing of the four-time Stanley Cup winner, whom he has tipped to run for ‘governor’ one day.  

Amid the controversy surrounding his political affiliations, Gretzky recently joined Swift’s boyfriend Kelce and his brother Jason on the latest episode of their New Heights podcast.

The pair were thrilled to have him on the show, with an impassioned Jason reeling off some of his greatest achievements before introducing him as ‘the great one’.

However, a number of fans hit out at the Kelce brothers for hosting a Trump supporter as a special guest on their podcast – especially following the latter’s recent attack on Swift.

One user commented on a teaser clip of the Gretzky episode: ‘MAGA- really??? Do better!’

‘This would have been a lot more interesting before he went public as a MAGA loser,’ said another.

‘So Trump went after Taylor and your answer is to invite a big trumpie guy who is friend with him ?!? Have some shame,’ fumed a third.

A fourth put: ‘Love you Kelce brothers but do better. Having maga gretzky on sucks! Wonder what Taylor thinks…..’

While one simply commented: ‘No thanks.’

Trump recently sparked outrage after unleashing the random attack on Swift earlier this month.

The 78-year-old hit out at Kelce’s pop star lover in a bizarre Truth Social post while traveling back to the US from Saudi Arabia, claiming he is the reason she is ‘no longer hot.’

‘Has anyone noticed that, since I said “I hate Taylor Swift,” she’s no longer “HOT?”‘ he wrote on the social media platform.

Trump has taken plenty of shots at Swift over the years, particularly after her endorsement of Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

Yet Kelce was said to be absolutely furious after his latest dig at his girlfriend, which marked an unprompted escalation in his attacks.

A source told DailyMail.com that the Kansas City Chiefs legend wants to use it as motivation at this summer’s NFL training camp rather than respond publicly and ‘open another can of worms.’

‘Travis is livid that the President of the United States is talking negatively about Taylor,’ our insider said. ‘He is so mad that he is going to use it as motivation during training for the season ahead, especially if Trump continues talking.

‘Since Travis can’t say anything publicly because that would just open another can of worms, he has to figure out ways to get it out of his system because he would love to protect Taylor and stick up for her. 

‘But keeping quiet is the move he has to do right now.’
