On Thursday night, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are beating the heat in Florida. The pair are in attendance at Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final, with the Florida Panthers hosting the Edmonton Oilers.

Swift and Kelce arrived shortly before puck drop, with a helicopter landing near the arena, per ESPN’s Greg Wyshynski. The VIP Entrance and the elevators to the press box were closed to the public, presumably while the two entered the arena.
With Swift in the house, Florida got red-hot in the first period, scoring three goals in less than 10 minutes. Panthers star Matthew Tkachuk scored the first two goals of the early lead.
