Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce attend Game 4 of Stanley Cup Final between Panthers and Oilers
SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — 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 Stanley Cup Final between the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers.
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.
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. Miami Heat captain Bam Adebayo was joined by former Heat captain Udonis Haslem on the drum on Monday.
The defending champion Panthers led the best-of-seven series 2-1 heading into Thursday's game.

‘Will miss…': Barry Sanders predicts the Detroit Lions' NFL future amid recent success
NFL legend Barry Sanders believes that the Detroit Lions are still capable of making it to the Super Bowl despite losing both the offensive and defensive play-callers who have been instrumental in their recent success. Talking to Newsweek about his upcoming documentary 'The Making of a Heart Attack', Sanders opened up about his feelings for the Lions, a team with which he made his Hall of Fame career. Barry Sanders said that while the team would certainly miss both Aaron Glenn and Ben Johnson, but added that the nucleus of the team is capable of taking them over the line. 'They were a big part of our success. We know what both those guys are made of, you know. I feel the nucleus and the important ingredients were what we were able to do here. It's mostly still here. We certainly will miss Aaron Glenn and Ben Johnson, but we feel like the pieces we have on offense and defense, you know, with Hutchinson coming back, you look at kids like Brian Branch. And you know, Alim McNeill, the list goes on and on. Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jahmyr Gibbs, David Montgomery, Laporta,' Barry Sanders said. The legendary running back called the current batch of Detroit Lions players a 'solid group' and hopes they can repeat the team's success in recent years. I mean, it's a solid group. And so if we can stay healthy, we should see similar results that we've seen the last couple of years," he said. NFL legend Barry Sanders is back at work to inspire people once again by sharing his health struggle in an upcoming interview. The 56-year-old Sanders had gone public with a heart-related "health scare" during Father's Day weekend last June. He fully opened up about the scare, telling CBS Sports that he couldn't believe it and thought it was 'heartburn'. 'The Making of a Heart Attack," a documentary featuring Barry Sanders, will premiere on Saturday, June 14 at 1 PM on A&E.

'Your Spit Should Taste Different' — Tyrese Haliburton jokes as he describes the intensity of playing in the NBA finals
(Image Source - Getty Images) When it's about capturing the true essence of the NBA Finals, Tyrese Haliburton doesn't merely discuss intensity — he makes you sense it. The Indiana Pacers' floor leader, fresh from a crucial Game 1 victory and a near triple-double in Game 3, offered a funny yet insightful reminder of how every surge of adrenaline is distinct on this platform. During a media session leading up to Game 4, Haliburton joked: 'Your spit should taste different.' And honestly? He couldn't be more right. Tyrese Halliburton embraces every high-stakes moment in this electrifying finals run Indiana's star guard has been on fire. In Game 1 of the Finals on June 5, Haliburton hit an incredible 21-foot pull-up shot with only 0.3 seconds remaining, completing a 15-point comeback for a 111–110 win against the Oklahoma City Thunder—making it the most recent Finals-winning buzzer-beater since Michael Jordan did it in 1997. Then, in Game 3 on June 11 in Indianapolis, Haliburton delivered an impressive performance with 22 points, 11 assists, and nine rebounds—just one rebound short of a triple-double—as the Pacers secured a 2–1 lead with a 116–107 victory. Behind his signature blend of jest and grit lies a deep respect for the stakes. When Haliburton quipped that 'your spit should taste different,' he was adorably winking at the increased pressure, the spotlight, and the intense grind that comes with playing in the Finals—things you just don't encounter in any other game. But more than just being funny, it highlights how he and his teammates have really stepped up their urgency. The bench, spearheaded by Bennedict Mathurin's 27 points, outscored OKC's reserves 49–18 in Game 3 — making it one of the top three individual bench performances in Finals history. The Indiana starters have really matched that tagline with their clutch consistency. Haliburton has nailed game-tying or winning shots in every playoff series—something that was only done by Reggie Miller before. This includes his buzzer-beater, a debut in the Finals with 14 points, 10 rebounds, and 6 assists, and his near triple-double in Game 3. His demeanor—starting off serious and then delivering a killer punchline — reflects a guy who is completely present, enjoying every bit of pressure the Finals have to offer. Also Read: 'You gotta be box office' — Magic Johnson defines NBA superstardom with examples like Larry Bird, Shaquille O'Neal, and Charles Barkley Indiana is just two victories away from securing its first NBA championship, and Haliburton is the driving force behind that success. His witty yet meaningful comment about taste isn't merely a throwaway; it captures how distinct these games feel, even at the most fundamental level. Whether he's making clutch shots, setting the tempo, or leading a remarkable bench effort, Haliburton has taken on the Finals intensity—and perhaps, just perhaps, your taste will be different tonight.
