In attendance at Panthers for Game 4 of Stanley Cup Final: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce
If there's a title on the line, Taylor and Travis are there. But this time, both as spectators. Sports' most famous couple – Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce – has been spotted in Amerant Bank Arena for Game 4 of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final. Swift and Kelce are the biggest names of what's sure to be a star-studded evening as the Florida Panthers host the Edmonton Oilers Thursday night. Swift has become quite the sports fan. She's a mainstay at her boyfriend's Kansas City Chiefs game, including February's Super Bowl. It's unclear if pop's power couple are rooting for the Panthers or Oilers. But her decision to make the trek to Sunrise surely can't sit well with Edmonton forward Jeff Skinner, who's in the lineup Thursday for the first time this series. Skinner met Swift while a member of the Carolina Hurricanes in 2013 during an awkward photo op. 'Honestly, I don't think she wanted or knew that that jersey was coming,' Skinner said on ESPN in April. 'The short version is that she thought that I wanted her to sign the jersey for me. And I was there under the impression that I was supposed to give her this jersey and I'd already signed it. 'So it's a bit of a miscommunication there, so I don't know if the curse would've applied. Yeah I guess, I mean - hopefully there's no curse.' Swift isn't the only superstar who's been drawn to the barn by the swamp this spring. Lifelong Panthers fan Ariana Grande was at Game 3. Other stars in attendance Thursday include Pro Football Hall of Famer Jason Taylor, who's banging the drum pregame, and hockey icon Jaromir Jagr (a former Panther).

I Just Binged 'Overcompensating' and Now I See Why Everyone's Obsessed (Even If I'm Still Confused)
If you haven't heard yet, there's a new series called Overcompensating—and honestly, it wasn't even on my radar until TikTok did its thing. Between all the clips floating around and the mini think pieces popping up, curiosity got the best of me. I hit play… and I'm glad I did. Overcompensating, which dropped on Prime Video on May 15, follows Benny—played by Benito Skinner (aka Benny Drama)—a closeted queer college student doing everything he can to hide his identity. His tactic? Lean hard into exaggerated masculinity. Think frat energy dialed up to eleven. And while that might sound like it could lean cringe or cliché, it actually doesn't. The show is smart, hilarious and surprisingly heartfelt. Jackie Brown/Prime What really sets Overcompensating apart, in my opinion, is that it doesn't try too hard. So many shows struggle to hit the sweet spot for millennials, Gen Z or even Gen Alpha without coming off as forced or cartoonish. But this one nails it. The humor feels organic and the characters are grounded (even in their ridiculousness)—probably because it's loosely based on Skinner's actual college experience. You can tell it comes from someone who gets it. That said, the show isn't without its quirks. Some viewers have pointed out it's hard to pin down exactly when the story is supposed to take place. One minute Benny's referencing George of the Jungle and Britney Spears's 'Lucky,' putting him squarely in the early 2000s, and the next Charli XCX shows up performing one of her 2017 hits. The timeline's a little fuzzy—but honestly? It doesn't take away from the story at all. It just adds to the surreal, slightly nostalgic vibe the show plays with. And let's talk about the cast. Alongside Skinner, you've got Adam DiMarco (yes, from The White Lotus), Owen Thiele, Holmes, Kaia Gerber, Lukas Gage and James Van Der Beek. Guest stars? Connie Britton, Megan Fox, Bowen Yang and more. Then there's funny guy Jonah Hill, who helped executive produced the show. The show is stacked both in front of and behind the lens. So, if you're in the mood for something hilarious, a little messy and genuinely original, give it a go. You'll probably end up watching the whole thing in one sitting. All 8 episodes of Overcompensating are streaming now on Prime Video. Want all the latest entertainment news sent right to your inbox?

Oilers advance to Western Conference Final with 1-0 OT win over Golden Knights in Game 5: Takeaways
The Edmonton Oilers are on their way to the Western Conference Final for the second straight year, thanks to a pair of unlikely heroes. Kasperi Kapanen, playing just his second playoff game this postseason, jammed in the series-winning goal 7:19 into overtime to give the Oilers a 1-0 win over the Vegas Golden Knights at T-Mobile Arena on Wednesday night in Game 5 of their second-round series. Advertisement The son of former NHL forward Sami Kapanen was a postseason spectator until he dressed for Game 4 on Monday. He became an instant Oilers hero in his second playoff game by nudging the puck over the goal line with Vegas goaltender Adin Hill on his back in the crease. It was Kapanen's first postseason goal since he scored for the Pittsburgh Penguins, his first NHL team, in their opening game of the 2021 playoffs against the New York Islanders. 'I don't think there's a lot to it,' Kapanen said. 'I missed it a couple times. Just trying to stay with it. Luckily, it went in. That pretty much summed up the whole game today. There weren't too many Grade-A chances, and I'm just happy with it.' Kapanen's goal made a winner of the other unlikely hero — goaltender Stuart Skinner. He earned his second straight win, both by shutout, after losing his first three postseason starts this season. Calvin Pickard replaced Skinner after Skinner was shelled by the Los Angeles Kings while losing Games 1 and 2 of the first round. Pickard won six straight starts, and Skinner only got the net back because he was injured in Game 2 against Vegas. Advertisement Skinner took the loss in Game 3 when Vegas' Reilly Smith scored a last-second goal for a 4-3 win, but he was perfect in Edmonton's 3-0 win in Game 4 and flawless again in Game 5. It was obvious from the opening face-off that there wasn't going to be much offense on this night. Neither team did much of anything in the first period. The shots were 1-1 through the first 8:30 and ended 8-5 for the Oilers. Edmonton had a 4-1 lead in scoring chances (2-1 at 5-on-5) and had the lone high-danger opportunity (also at 5-on-5), according to Natural Stat Trick. The second period was more of the same, with good scoring chances few and far between. Edmonton had 2:56 of power-play time, but the Golden Knights had the only three high-danger chances, including a shot by William Karlsson that beat Skinner but rang the post. Advertisement The result was the first game in this year's playoffs to be scoreless through two periods. It stayed that way through the next 20 minutes as well, thanks to some sensational goaltending at both ends. Hill made the biggest save of the game to that point early in the period when he stopped Leon Draisaitl, the regular-season leader with 51 goals, on a breakaway, then denied him soon after on a backhander off a 2-on-1 break. He also stopped Connor McDavid on another 2-on-1 with 1:06 remaining after the Golden Knights had held No. 97 without a shot on goal for nearly 59 minutes. Through three periods, the Oilers outshot the Golden Knights 24-22, though Vegas had an 8-4 edge in high-danger chances at 5-on-5 and 8-5 overall.

Oilers back to final four It's been a long time since Edmonton has advanced to the conference final in back-to-back seasons. In fact, you have to go back to the end of the dynasty years – 1990 through 1992, when they did it in three straight years, winning in 1990 on the way to the franchise's fifth Stanley Cup championship in seven years before losing to the Minnesota North Stars in 1991 and the Chicago Blackhawks in 1992. This is the third time in four years the Oilers have gotten this far – they were swept by the Colorado Avalanche in 2022 and knocked off the Dallas Stars in six games last year before losing the Stanley Cup Final to the Florida Panthers in seven games. They could wind up with a rematch against the Stars, who own a 3-1 lead against the Winnipeg Jets in the other Western Conference Second Round series. The Stars will try to eliminate the Presidents' Trophy-winning Jets by winning Game 5 in Winnipeg on Thursday. Advertisement 'We've been getting better and better at that every single game, we really believe that,' Skinner said. 'It's been a process for us to get to where we are today, and I truly believe we took another step even tonight. It shows a lot of character in the room.'

McDavid, Draisaitl shut down, Oilers win anyway If there's a difference between last year's team and this one, it's that the Oilers are getting more scoring from players not named McDavid and Draisaitl – and the kind of goaltending they needed to win tight games. Advertisement The Oilers scored 16 goals in the five games. McDavid had one – a bad-angled shot that went into the net off Vegas defenseman Brayden McNabb in Game 3. Draisaitl scored in Game 1 and had the OT winner in Game 2, but didn't score again. Credit: Stephen R. Sylvanie-Imagn Images Instead, Edmonton got two-goal performances from Corey Perry in Game 3 and Adam Henrique in Game 4 before Kapanen's series-winner in Game 5. The Oilers also benefitted from Skinner's revival. He stopped all 47 shots he faced in Games 4 and 5. 'He came up big the last two nights,' Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch said. 'We needed them, especially as the game wore on in the third period. A lot more saves were needed. But not only making the saves but looking confident. If anyone needed to feel good about their game and have a little reward, he definitely deserved it.' 3. Golden Knights get nothing from their top guns Credit: Stephen R. Sylvanie-Imagn Images To see why the Golden Knights are going home, just take a look at how Vegas' top five regular-season goal-scorers failed to come through against the Oilers. Pavel Dorofeyev (35), Tomas Hertl (32), Jack Eichel (29), Ivan Barbashev (23) and Brett Howden (23) did not score a single goal in the series. Advertisement Yes, Dorofeyev missed two games with injuries and Eichel had five assists and played terrific two-way hockey. But you can't win without putting the puck in the net, and Vegas did that just 10 times in five games – not at all in the last two. The effort was there, according to coach Bruce Cassidy, but the results were not. 'I'm super proud of the guys. When they came out, they were committed to playing the right way. They wanted to win,' Cassidy said. 'Sometimes you've got to walk away and say, 'You know, we didn't blow it.' We needed to be better in certain parts of the game. … As the game went on, we looked better and better, and I thought, 'Hey, we're going to get this one. We just need a break to get the first goal.''
