Video shows city officials in Florida greet Chiefs’ Travis Kelce at hockey game

Chiefs’ Travis Kelce was in demand at Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final.
The Stanley Cup Final has been electric with three of the four games going to overtime and the series between the Panthers and Oilers tied.

Edmonton rallied from a three-goal deficit on Thursday, blew a late lead in regulation and finally defeated the Panthers 5-4 in overtime in Game 4 at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida.

Despite that incredible action, television cameras weren’t focused on the game alone Thursday night after Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce arrived to watch with girlfriend, superstar singer Taylor Swift.

The celebrity couple was in a suite next to one used by members of the city of Sunrise, and the elected officials were just as gaga over Swift and Kelce as others.

Video of Swift meeting with a young fan went viral Thursday night, but it didn’t have audio. Later, the full video was shared and you can hear Swift sweetly talking with a young fan.

And Assistant Deputy Mayor Jacqueline Guzman asked for Kelce, who came down and shook hands with Sunrise officials and Guzman’s 10-year-old son, Jeremiah, who underwent lung surgery earlier this year.

The video gives you an idea of the crushing demand Swift faces from people who want to meet her.

Taylor Swift opens up about Travis Kelce during Florida hospital visit

Amid fans’ tears and viral moments, Swift’s heartfelt admission highlights the strength of their bond during an unexpected stop at Joe Dimaggio Children’s Hospital

Taylor Swift made a surprise afternoon visit to Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in Hollywood, Florida, this past Friday, bringing an outpouring of emotion, smiles, and inspiration to young patients and their families.

The 35-year-old global icon, spending the summer in Florida with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, had just attended Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final before deciding to spend some time with her fans and make their day.

Swift spent approximately four hours moving from room to room-signing autographs, taking selfies, offering hugs, and even FaceTiming families who couldn’t be present.

It wasn’t just an act of celebrity benevolence; it was a deeply personal mission. “This has been such an amazing day,” she said in a moment captured on TikTok as she introduced herself to a transfusion patient.

Dr. Jill Whitehouse, chief of surgery at the hospital, took to Instagram to describe Swift as “one of the kindest human beings I have ever had the privilege of meeting.”

She added, “Thank you Taylor Swift for making dreams come true for all of our patients, families, and staff today!”

Meanwhile, staff and parents watched in awe as Swift warmly greeted every person she met. One mother shared a photo of her son Judah, taken just before receiving a transfusion, describing the moment she skipped her son’s appointment “because look who Judah met at the hospital today before his transfusion.”

A public display of compassion and connection

Beyond the delightful interactions, the visit carried deeper undertones. In the days leading up, Swift had been spotted alongside Kelce at the thrilling Stanley Cup Final in Sunrise, Florida, where they were seen enjoying each other’s company before Swift‘s visit the next day.

But what truly stood out was a quiet yet poignant admission made during one of her hospital conversations about Kelce.

When asked by a young fan why she was in Florida, she simply answered, “My boyfriend is training here, so I just thought I’d come and see how you’re doing.”

Swift and Kelce‘s relationship began in mid-2023 around Swift’s Eras Tour and Kelce’s invitation to Arrowhead Stadium, and has transcended public attention, sparking genuine admiration for the duo. They’re commonly referred to as “America’s very own royal couple,” and their collaboration has proven mutually uplifting both on and off the field.
