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.
