Nothing New: Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce attend Stanley Cup Final game

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 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 big sporting events — including the last two Super Bowls, which Kelce played in.

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.

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 ed by former Heat captain Udonis Haslem on the drum on Monday.
