Pop culture power couple Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were among the notable personalities who attended Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Edmonton Oilers and the Florida Panthers in Sunrise, Florida.
The pair was seen arriving at Amerant Bank Arena on Thursday, holding hands as they made their way to their seats, adding a touch of celebrity glamor to the high-stakes sporting event.
They were present for a dramatic game where the Edmonton Oilers staged a remarkable comeback, erasing a three-goal deficit in the first period to secure a 5-4 victory in overtime, thus tying the series at 2-2.
Kelce, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs with multiple Super Bowl championships, is known to be a hockey enthusiast, much like his brother Jason Kelce. Since their relationship gained public attention in 2023, the 14-time Grammy Award-winning singer has become a familiar face at major sporting events, including the past two Super Bowls, often creating a media buzz and fan excitement.
Rumors about the couple`s potential attendance at the final game had circulated prior to Thursday. Signs hinting at their arrival included a helicopter landing near the arena and temporary restrictions on the VIP entrance and media elevator access before the pre-game warmups began.
Swift and Kelce were shown on the television broadcast during the game`s opening period.
In separate news concerning Swift`s career, she recently announced that she has successfully gained full control over her music catalog. In a detailed statement on her official website, Swift confirmed that she purchased her recordings, originally released under Big Machine Records, from their latest owner, the private equity firm Shamrock Capital. This move grants her complete ownership of her past musical works.
This development aligns with her previous efforts over the past few years to re-record and release her earlier albums as a means to own her master recordings.
Other well-known figures spotted at the game included former Miami Dolphins defensive end Jason Taylor, who took part in the pre-game drum ceremony, and legendary hockey player Jaromir Jagr. Miami Heat captain Bam Adebayo and former captain Udonis Haslem had participated in a similar ceremony on a previous day.
