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.
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.
They were joined in their seats by former Oiler Wayne Gretzky, who is also commentating on the Stanley Cup finals for TNT.

Opinion: Don’t let the series score fool you; the Oilers are in must-win mode
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.
