Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Spotted at Stanley Cup Final Game
Pop icon Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce were seen at Amerant Bank Arena on Thursday, where they joined a star-studded crowd for Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final, featuring the Florida Panthers against the Edmonton Oilers.
Kelce, who plays tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs and boasts a Super Bowl championship, has long been an avid hockey enthusiast, a passion shared with his brother, Jason Kelce. Since their relationship began in 2023, Swift has made headlines for her appearances at major sporting events, including the last two Super Bowls, igniting excitement among fans wherever she goes.
Speculation about their attendance at the Stanley Cup Final had circulated prior to the game. A helicopter was spotted landing near the arena, heightening anticipation for their arrival.
Security measures were notably heightened; the VIP entrance was cordoned off, and access to the media elevator was restricted for a time leading up to the pregame warmups.
In recent news, Swift announced a significant milestone in her career: she has regained ownership of her entire music catalog. In a heartfelt message on her official website, she revealed that she purchased her recordings from Big Machine Records, previously held by Shamrock Capital. This move follows her ongoing efforts to re-record her early albums to reclaim control over her artistic work.
Among other notable attendees were former Miami Dolphins defensive end Jason Taylor, who energized the crowd by banging the drum before the game. Miami Heat captain Bam Adebayo also participated, joined by former Heat captain Udonis Haslem.
As the defending champions, the Panthers entered Thursday's matchup leading the best-of-seven series 2-1, adding to the stakes of the evening.
