Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce coverage at Stanley Cup Final leaves NHL fans seething
The coverage of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce attending Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Thursday night has left hockey fans seething.
Instead of plans publicized days in advance of the 14-time Grammy Award winner attending a sporting event, her and the Kansas City Chiefs star's appearance in Sunrise, Florida for the NHL title-series contest was only apparent about an hour before puck drop.
Yet, coverage from TNT has shown Swift and Kelce more than any average fan, as the duo hung out in a luxury suite.
It is a rare time in public for the couple, who have been staying low-key since February's Super Bowl loss for Kansas City.
Kelce has a home in the area, where he and Swift have been spending time in between his offseason activities for the Chiefs.
Florida Panthers, Edmonton Oilers, and NHL fans at-large were not thrilled with seeing the couple multiple times on their television screens.

EXCLUSIVE Hugh Jackman suffers humiliating blow as ticket sales to his solo show drop to $20 amid divorce from Deborra-Lee Furness
's divorce from Deborra-Lee Furness may have had a profound impact on his career, with fans appearing to be less interested - and less willing to pay big bucks - to see his solo performance at New York City 's Radio City Music Hall. Less than a month ago, Deborra-Lee, 69, filed for divorce from her estranged husband of 27 years, nearly two years after they announced their shock split. Amid the news, the Wolverine star went about his day to day and carried on work as usual, with Jackman seen smiling in the public outside the theater of his off-Broadway play, 'Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes,' right after the news broke. Jackman, who is in a relationship with Sutton Foster, returns to the Big Apple's historic theater - where the Tony Awards just took place - next week to perform his concert series, 'Hugh Jackman: From New York, With Love.' However, can exclusively reveal that the 56-year-old is having trouble selling some fans are attempting to even get rid of their tickets, through resale websites, for as low as $20. Jackman returns to RCMH on June 20 and June 21, for a matinee and evening performance, and according to there are still hundreds of seats available for purchase, with the majority of seats available located in the orchestra section where ticket prices are higher than the sections above - the first mezzanine, second mezzanine and third mezzanine. Tickets for the orchestra section can be purchased for as little as $86 for Friday's performance, $79 for Saturday's matinee performance, and $62 for Saturday's evening performance. But, what's an even better deal, according to StubHub, is going to a July or August performance, for which tickets are selling as low as $20 - if you're willing to sit up high in the third mezzanine, that is. By comparison, 'Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band,' performing on June 13 is nearly sold out and has tickets in the orchestra section selling for $200 to $600. has reached out to Hugh Jackman's rep for comment. Jackman's 'From New York, With Love' concert series debuted in January 2025, months before news broke about his ex Deborra-Lee filing for divorce. The current prices of Hugh's show are a far cry from his performances back in April when the show was sold out, according to a reporter who attended. The solo show - apart from his band and team of backup dancers - is a celebration of Jackman's career and his love for the city, with a mix of his greatest hits as he performs his iconic musical numbers from various Broadway shows and movies, including Les Misérables, The Music Man and The Greatest Showman. During the show, Jackman jokingly takes swipe at his close pal and Deadpool & Wolverine costar Ryan Reynolds. The actor tells the audience, according to a video obtained by that he had the 'time of my life' filming the movie, but had 'one little gripe' — that he was left out of the Marvel film's musical number. Hugh notes that he and Ryan, Blake Lively's husband, were together in every scene in the film — except at the beginning. 'Now that's fine, I don't need to be in every scene in the movie. 'But Ryan is a writer,' the X-Men star continues. 'And when I see the script, I see that the scene that I'm not in is the opening sequence...I'm like, the one scene I'm not in has dance. Now Ryan, he's very talented, but dancing?' Joined by his trainer, Beth Lewis, and his other dancers, he then proceeds to perform 'the dance that got away' - a choreographed jump rope routine to NSYNC's hit and the movie's opening number, Bye Bye Bye. In-between his performances for Radio City Music Hall, Jackman continues to perform a two-man show with Ella Beatty, the 25-year-old daughter of Warren Beatty and Annette Bening, who plays his lover in the play. Reviews of 'Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes' and talk about the actors' steamy kisses appear to be a big draw for theater-goers. The show only has a few remaining dates left, with the limited engagement run ending on June 18. According to tickets are running for $400, with some dates - the final two performances - already selling out. Tickets for Jackman's July performances are being sold on StubHub for less than $25 All that needs to be done now is for the judge to sign off on the judgment. The couple have two adopted children together: Oscar, 24, and a daughter Ava, 19. According to an insider who spoke to Furness received a 'handsome spousal support payment,' which she is 'pleased with.' 'There was some back and forth regarding this financial agreement but, in the end, she got what she believed she deserved,' the source added. 'Both are coming out of this financially secure.' While they figure out what to do with the rest of their $387 million fortune, the exes have at least decided to split their $24 million Manhattan property down the middle. Earlier this month, on June 2, Jackman and Furness filed records with the city regarding their shares of their former love nest. This marks the first public sign of their asset division. The three-bedroom and 3.5-bathroom penthouse, which the couple purchased together back in 2022 for $21.12 million, had not been listed for sale but underwent a property transfer. Furness shocked fans by releasing a statement about 'betrayal' shortly after news broke about their divorce, referring to it as a 'traumatic journey.' In a statement sent to Furness said, 'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal. It's a profound wound that cuts deep, however I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us.' She continued, 'This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage. I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose. 'It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom.' She concluded her statement with the 'one thing' that she has learned, which is 'that none of this is personal,' adding, 'We are all on our individual journeys and I believe that the relationships in our lives are not random.

Will Smith, 56, mercilessly mocked over 'corny' new rap video after comeback album flopped in the charts
Will Smith has divided fans after continuing his music comeback with a brand new single. The 56-year-old released a music video for his new single Pretty Girls on Friday, less than three months after the release of his last studio album, Based on a True Story, which flopped in the charts. In the video, Smith raps about his love of beautiful women while surrounded by four female backup dancers. 'It's a full house, better play your cards right / I'ma post your pic if you pose / Make one phone call, you in Vogue / Head, shoulders, knees, toes / Hold up, wait, pose,' he raps. 'I like BBLs / That stand for "Bad b**ches link up" / Poppin in the club all night in the section / Picture perfect, I swear you perfection.' The song drew a mixed reception online, with one person writing, 'My ears bleeding again good god.' Another commented, 'Somebody stop him, please!' while a third added, 'Need the ghost of Quincy Jones to slap him.' Others said that the song was 'corny' and that it was time for Smith to give up on his hip-hop career. However, others were more complimentary, with one fan gushing, 'This brought a much needed smile to my face. I love the fact that I still get happy when I see Will happy.' Another wrote, 'A song about women that doesn't feel degrading. Good stuff!' The new single comes after Smith made his long-awaited return to music with Based on a True Story — his first album in 20 years. Released on March 28, the project reunited the Men In Black star with longtime collaborator DJ Jazzy Jeff and featured contributions from Teyana Taylor and his son Jaden Smith. He released five singles from the album, including Beautiful Scars with rapper Big Sean. Alongside the album, Smith also announced an accompanying tour — one that had fans in stitches after he revealed the unexpected and unconventional locations for his first-ever UK and European shows. Despite a large promotional push behind the record, Based On a True Story became Smith's first album to miss the charts entirely. Smith has faced controversy in recent years, most notably when slapping comedian Chris Rock at the 94th Academy Awards in March 2022. Rock was presenting the Oscar for Best Documentary at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood when he joked about Will's wife Jada Pinkett Smith's shaved head. He compared her to the shaved head look of Demi Moore in the 1997 movie G.I. Jane - and Pinkett Smith, who suffers from alopecia, did not laugh at the joke. Smith approached the stage and slapped Rock across the face with his right hand. Rock responded by telling the shocked audience: 'Will Smith just smacked the s*** out of me.' That same evening, Smith won the Best Actor award for his performance in King Richard as Richard Williams, the father of tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams.

Mya Lesnar, daughter of UFC and WWE champion, wins NCAA shot put title
Colorado State's Mya Lesnar won the women's shot put title at the NCAA outdoor track and field championships on Thursday, sealing the national crown with her very first attempt. Lesnar's opening throw of 62ft 4½in (19.01m) at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, stood as the top mark throughout the competition. The only other competitor to come close was Illinois' Abria Smith, whose best effort measured 61ft 10¼in. Lesnar also registered the second-best throw of the day (61ft 11in), capping a commanding performance. It marked the second NCAA title for Lesnar, who also won the indoor championship in 2024. The 24-year-old senior is the first Colorado State athlete in 20 years to win an outdoor national title, joining Loree Smith (2005 hammer throw) in school history. She is now a four-time first-team All-American. BIG TIME start for Mya 💪Opening throw of 19.01m/62-4.5 has her in the driver's seat after round 1!📺ESPN+#Relentless x #CSURams Lesnar, daughter of former UFC and WWE champion Brock Lesnar, transferred to CSU from Arizona State and has since developed into one of the nation's top collegiate throwers under coach Brian Bedard. In 2024, she finished sixth at the Paris Olympics and entered this week's meet as the No 1 seed in the nation. Her personal best of 64-3¾ would have earned an Olympic bronze last summer. 'This one means a lot,' Lesnar said. 'It's taken a lot of work to get back to No 1.' Her national title echoes the collegiate success of her father, who won the 2000 NCAA heavyweight wrestling championship while competing for the University of Minnesota. In one of the most dramatic finals in tournament history, Brock Lesnar escaped from the down position in double overtime to secure a 3-2 victory. That win capped a 50-2 record at Minnesota and launched a career that would span the WWE, UFC and a brief NFL stint: a uniquely dominant athletic legacy now matched in part by his daughter's own rise to NCAA stardom. Elsewhere on the first day of women's finals, Georgia's Stephanie Ratcliffe defended her NCAA hammer throw crown with a toss of 234ft 2in. Washington's Hana Moll broke the collegiate pole vault record with a clearance of 15-8½, surpassing the previous mark held by her twin sister Amanda. And New Mexico freshman Pamela Kosgei shattered the meet record in the 10,000 meters, finishing in 31:17.02.
