SUNRISE, FL — Superstar Taylor Swift found herself swept up in the intensity of the Stanley Cup Final last night, as she and NFL star Travis Kelce attended Game 4 between the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers at Amerant Bank Arena.

In a thrilling, edge-of-the-seat showdown, the Oilers came back from a 3-0 first-period deficit to eventually claim a 5-4 overtime victory, tying the series 2-2. But the night’s biggest viral moment might have come off the ice.

A clip captured by B/R Open Ice showed Swift visibly shaken and clutching her chest moments after Florida scored with just 19.5 seconds left in regulation to force overtime. Mouthing, “My heart, it was like…” as she mimicked her racing heartbeat to Kelce, Swift mirrored the emotions of millions watching the playoff rollercoaster.

The Oilers had clawed back into the game with goals from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Darnell Nurse, and Vasily Podkolzin, followed by Jake Walman’s third-period go-ahead goal. After Sam Reinhart equalized for the Panthers, it was Leon Draisaitl who delivered the game-winner in overtime—his fourth OT goal of the postseason, breaking an NHL record.

Though Swift and Kelce aren’t expected to attend Game 5 in Edmonton on Saturday, their attendance added a unique buzz to an already electric Stanley Cup atmosphere. The series returns to Florida for Game 6 on Tuesday, where the Stanley Cup will be in the building.

From heart-pounding plays on the ice to celebrity reactions in the stands, the 2025 Stanley Cup Final is delivering unforgettable moments both on and off the rink.
