Taylor Swift
turned heads yet again—this time not at a concert but at the Stanley Cup Final. The international superstar made a surprise appearance at Game 4 between the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers on Thursday night, sending shockwaves of excitement through fans in Sunrise, Florida.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce steal the spotlight with unexpected appearance at Stanley Cup Final Game 4
Taylor Swift was joined by her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and the duo reportedly arrived in style—by helicopter—near Amerant Bank Arena. Their high-profile arrival was first reported by ESPN's Greg Wyshynski, who noted some VIP-level security changes to accommodate the couple: 'The VIP entrance has been closed to the public, as are the elevators to the press box,' Wyshynski posted prior to the puck drop.
This marks yet another unexpected sports crossover moment for Swift, who has become increasingly present at major athletic events amid her relationship with Kelce. Her arrival electrified the Stanley Cup atmosphere, adding an extra layer of star power to an already high-stakes game.
Adding another quirky twist to the evening, Edmonton forward Jeff Skinner rejoined the lineup for Game 4—coincidentally the same Jeff Skinner who once posed for a famously awkward photo with Taylor Swift back in 2013.
The timing couldn't be more perfect for fans eager for both hockey action and pop culture nostalgia.
Game 4 carries huge implications for both teams. The Florida Panthers entered the night leading the series 2-1, looking to extend their advantage and place the Oilers on the brink of elimination. On the other hand, Edmonton is desperate to even the series before heading back home for Game 5 on Saturday.
The added buzz from Swift and Kelce's presence seemed to amplify the night's significance, not just for the fans in attendance, but for a global audience tuning in to see whether the Oilers could rally or the Panthers would tighten their grip on the Cup.

Storm make first visit to short-handed Valkyries
The Golden State Valkyries are expected to be without three key players when they host the Seattle Storm on Saturday night in the continuation of the Commissioner's Cup in San Francisco. Among those expected to be away from the team at FIBA EuroBasket 2025 for potentially more than two weeks is Janelle Salaun of France. Salaun contributed 21 points for Golden State in an 89-81 overtime road victory over the Los Angeles Sparks on Monday. The win improved the Valkyries' record in Commissioner's Cup play to 2-2 with two games remaining in conference play. Julie Vanloo, who made her second start against the Sparks, will play for Belgium in the EuroBasket tournament, while Cecilia Zandalasini, who had 18 points in the Valkyries' most recent home game a 95-68 thrashing of the Las Vegas Aces will represent Italy. FIBA EuroBasket 2025, critical for European national teams attempting to qualify for the 2026 FIBA Women's World Cup, concludes June 29. "We have a plan. You have to be ready," said Valkyries coach Natalie Nakase, whose team added veteran free agent Aerial Powers to fill one of the roster vacancies. "Obviously we want them to go with their heart. We're supporting if they want to go to Eurobasket; we're supporting if they want to stay." The Valkyries' roster also includes England native Temi Fagbenle and Carla Leite of France. Leite is expected to remain with Golden State, while Fagbenle is on England's roster, but neither she nor the Valkyries have announced her intentions. The Storm seem to have survived the exporting of WNBA talent, with Gabby Williams and Dominique Malonga, a pair of French standouts, electing to stay with the club. Seattle gained the upper hand in the Western Conference standings of the Commissioner's Cup at 3-1 with a 94-84 home win over the previously unbeaten Minnesota Lynx on Wednesday. The win was the third in a row for Seattle . The Storm and Lynx currently are tied for the West's top spot in the Cup standings, with Seattle owning the tiebreaker edge. Each team has two games remaining, with the conference's top club earning a spot in the Cup finals on July 1. Seattle's visit to San Francisco will be its first in the Valkyries' inaugural season. It serves as a homecoming of sorts for former Stanford star Nneka Ogwumike, who had a 21-point, 10-rebound double-double in the win over Minnesota. The 14-year WNBA veteran, a Texas native, recognizes her decision to attend Stanford was life changing. "I'm from Houston, so I'm Southern, I'm officially a West Coast girl," Ogwumike said. "I've been in the Bay , I've been in L.A. , and now I'm in the PNW . The West Coast just feels good for me." Field Level Media
