Taylor Swift was pictured sitting alongside Donald Trump supporter Wayne Gretzky at the Stanley Cup Finals in Florida – despite her long-running feud with the president.

The pop icon and her boyfriend Travis Kelce made a shock appearance at Thursday night’s Game 4 showdown between the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers.

And during the third period, Swift sparked controversy after she was seen watching the final unfold next to both Kelce and hockey legend Gretzky, whose friendship with Trump is well-documented.

Just under a month ago, the latter took a random shot at Taylor when he 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.

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

A fifth user, meanwhile, pointed out that Gretzky may well be in his friend’s bad books after sitting next to 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.
