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.

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.

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.
