Taylor Swift masters: Singer owns her music catalog
Taylor Swift announced on Instagram and her website she owns her music catalog.
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are in their hockey era.
Kelce, star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, and Swift, a 14-time Grammy winner, traded in a football for a hockey puck on Thursday and traveled to Sunrise, Florida, for Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers.
The duo was spotted walking to their suite at Amerant Bank Arena as nearby fans applauded. Kelce donned a red long-sleeve shirt and matching shorts, which he paired with a baseball cap and pair of white sneakers. Swift opted for an all-white, two-piece getup that she paired with white heeled boots and her signature red lip.
STANLEY CUP FINAL, GAME 4: Live updates, score, highlights
The power couple first broke the internet in September 2023 when Swift accepted Kelce's invitation to watch him play at Arrowhead Stadium after he watched her rock the same stadium during her wildly popular "Eras Tour." She was prominently featured during FOX's game broadcast while sitting next to Kelce's mother Donna in a suite. Swift and Kelce were later spotted leaving together in a convertible after the Chiefs' blowout win over the Chicago Bears, not only fueling dating rumors, but setting the entire internet on fire.
When Swift is not touring the world or cheering on Kelce at Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium, the duo has frequently held date nights at various sporting events. Kelce and Swift attended the 2024 U.S. Open men's final alongside Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and wife Brittany Mahomes. One month later, the couple attended Game 1 of the ALCS between the New York Yankees and Cleveland Guardians. Swift was also at Kelce's side after the Chiefs' Super Bowl 59 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans in February.
Swift previously starred in a commercial for the NHL's Nashville Predators in 2008. "Come on! Taylor Swift at a Predators game? You're crazy," the commercial says. Some find themselves thinking that nearly two decades later.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce attend Game 4 of Stanley Cup Final between Panthers and Oilers
SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — There was bad blood at Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers. Not just on the ice. Pop superstar Taylor Swift and boyfriend Travis Kelce were among the celebrities that flocked to Amerant Bank Arena on Thursday to watch Game 4 of the final — with the 'Bad Blood' singer seen holding hands with Kelce as they headed to their seats. Advertisement And they were in attendance for a thrilling game. Edmonton came from down three goals in the first period to win it 5-4 in overtime, tying the series 2-2. Kelce, a Super Bowl-winning tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, is a known hockey fan along with his brother Jason Kelce. And ever since Swift and Kelce began their high-profile romance in 2023, the 14-time Grammy Award winning singer has been known to pop in on big sporting events — including the last two Super Bowls — and cause an excited frenzy for fans. There were rumblings ahead of Thursday's game that the couple might attend the final. A helicopter landed near Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida, ahead of the game. The VIP entrance to the area was also closed off and the media elevator was not available to be used for a period of time before pregame warmups began. Advertisement The pair was shown on the television broadcast during the first period of the game. Swift recently announced that she regained control over her entire body of work. In a lengthy note posted to her official website, Swift said that all the music she's ever made now belongs to her after she has purchased her catalog of recordings — originally released through Big Machine Records — from their most recent owner, the private equity firm Shamrock Capital. Over the last few years, Swift has been rerecording and releasing her early albums in an attempt to regain control of her music. Other celebs in attendance included former Miami Dolphins star defensive end Jason Taylor, who banged the drum before the game, and hockey great Jaromir Jagr. Miami Heat captain Bam Adebayo was joined by former Heat captain Udonis Haslem on the drum on Monday. ___ AP NHL playoffs: and Alanis Thames, The Associated Press

‘Unreal' Brad Marchand continues strong play for Panthers in Stanley Cup Final
Brad Marchand continued to be clutch for the Panthers throughout the playoffs when he scored the game-winning goal on a breakaway in double-overtime in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Edmonton Oilers. The goal tied the Cup Final at one game apiece. The series now shifts to Florida for Games 3 and 4. Advertisement 'His anticipation and his hockey sense is unbelievable,' Matthew Tkachuk told reporters after the game. 'You see it (Friday) with two breakaway goals. Just seeing the play and he's gone. I saw that a ton with him playing in Boston. Way better seeing it now.' The goal Marchand's second of the game. The 37-year-old became the first NHL player to score a shorthanded goal and an overtime goal in the same game. Marchand's 10 career goals in the Stanley Cup Playoffs are the most among active players. Marchand admitted to TNT after the game that he blacked out during the game-winning goal, but scoring big goals in big moments is something the veteran forward has done many times throughout his career — especially on the breakaway. So he had just one thought on both goals. Advertisement 'Just don't forget the puck,' Marchand told reporters after the game. 'That's the main thing. I've done that before. It's not a good feeling.' While there might have been questions about Marchand's health when the Boston Bruins traded him to the Panthers in March due to an injury at the time of the trade, the forward has been playing at an elite level throughout the playoffs with 17 points (seven goals, 10 assists) in 19 games. 'He could play till he's 47 the way he's going,' Tkachuk told reporters. 'Unreal player, unreal competitor.' More Bruins content Read the original article on MassLive.

Matt Vautour: Bruins passed on safer choices to chase Marco Sturm's higher ceiling
Anyone praising or criticizing the Bruins' choice of Marco Sturm to be the franchise's next head coach is guessing. Nobody knows how a 46-year-old former player, who has never been a head coach in the NHL before, will fare. Advertisement But to their credit or detriment, the Bruins' front office took a big swing. With Marco Sturm, they chose to chase the potential of a high ceiling rather than the safety of a probable high floor. Years from now, history will judge that as either brilliant or risky. If Sturm is the next Kris Knoblauch, they'll be thrilled. If he's Ralph Krueger, they're in trouble. There were safer choices. In the NHL, there's always a former coach ready to be a current coach. And this year was no different. The search cycle started with six former Stanley Cup-winning coaches available and several others with prior experience. But the Bruins went for the unknown. Sturm has the benefit of being both a recognizable name and a fresh voice. Fans will like that he's the guy who scored memorable game-winning goals in the first Winter Classic in Boston and in Game 6 against the Canadiens in 2008. He'll understand what hockey means to the city and what the fanbase is like. Advertisement But while he played for the Bruins, he earned his coaching stripes in Los Angeles and in Germany. He won't be more of the same. His emphasis on defensive reliability meshes with Don Sweeney's preferred approach, but he'll come at it differently. While both tenures ended in disappointment, Sweeney has previously identified and hired two good coaches. Bruce Cassidy led the Bruins to the finals and Vegas to a Cup. Jim Montgomery won the Jack Adams Award in 2023, but might have done a better coaching job in 2023-24 when he led a salary-cap ravaged team back to the second round of the playoffs. St. Louis improved upon his arrival. Advertisement Sturm has a different initial assignment than the one given to his predecessors, though. Cassidy and Montgomery were given high-end rosters with a charge to win a Cup. Sturm gets a team with pieces and question marks. While the Bruins have stated that they don't think this is a rebuild, but a retooling, they owe Sturm some patience. Like any new coach, he'll make mistakes. But the Bruins are hoping his youth helps him connect with a roster of younger players in a way that helps spark their development and that the long-term results outweigh any growing pains. Change the rule... The Oilers won Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final on a power-play goal on one of the worst penalties in sports. Advertisement Tomas Nosek accidentally flipped the puck into the stands, an automatic delay of game minor, creating a rare overtime power play. That a game that important was decided by a penalty so insignificant is bad for hockey. A delay of game should be treated like icing. The team that committed the out-of-play flip should have a defensive zone faceoff and not be allowed to change lines. That gives them a disadvantage proportional to the infraction and enough disincentive not to do it. No Charlie... NCAA President Charlie Baker says he sees value in expanding the NCAA basketball tournaments. The only people who think this is a good idea are coaches and athletic directors, whose jobs and bonuses come making the field. Advertisement Currently, the first day of the NCAA Tournament is one of the best days in sports. Expansion would turn it into the basketball version of the Independence Bowl.
