Taylor Swift Steals the Spotlight at Stanley Cup Final Game 4—And the Internet Can’t Handle Her Mysterious Jacket
In a moment that sent shockwaves through both the music and sports worlds, Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce, and Wayne Gretzky—yes, that Wayne Gretzky—were spotted together in a luxury suite during Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final. But this wasn’t just another celebrity sighting. No, this was something else entirely.
Because Taylor didn’t just attend.
She wore a message—and fans are spiraling.
The Jacket Heard ‘Round the Arena
Photos and videos quickly surfaced of Swift clapping next to Kelce and “The Great One,” all smiles, clearly enjoying the game. But eagle-eyed fans weren’t looking at the scoreboard. They were looking at Taylor’s custom denim jacket, a bedazzled, fashion-forward statement piece decorated with glittering patches.
The biggest patch of all?
An embroidered Stanley Cup—and right above it, in bold silver stitching: “87.”
Wait… “87”???
To anyone not steeped in hockey lore, the number might seem harmless. But to NHL fans, “87” is synonymous with Sidney Crosby—the iconic Pittsburgh Penguins captain, Olympic gold medalist, and generational talent.
And now, Taylor Swift was wearing his number. At the Stanley Cup Final. While sitting next to a Super Bowl-winning tight end and the greatest hockey player of all time.
Cue internet meltdown.
Swifties + NHL Twitter = Chaos
Theories spread like wildfire across X (formerly Twitter), Reddit, TikTok, and even sports betting forums. Here are just a few of the most viral ones:
“She’s teasing a secret song about Sidney Crosby called 87 (Power Play).”
“It’s a coded message about her 1989 (Taylor’s Version) deluxe tracks… 8 + 7 = 15… what’s track 15??”
“She’s launching a Swift x NHL capsule collection, and this is just the first look.”
“It’s the sequel to Folklore but told through hockey metaphors.”
One particularly bold user posted:
“Calling it now: The Great 87 is a collab album. Gretzky (99), Crosby (87), and Kelce (TK87). Taylor’s doing sports pop. The world isn’t ready.”
It sounds absurd. And yet… somehow, entirely possible.
The Kelce Connection: “TK87” Makes His NHL Debut?
While Taylor was wearing 87, Travis Kelce—famously jersey number 87 in the NFL—was spotted filming the moment with his phone, grinning from ear to ear like a proud boyfriend and co-conspirator.
Some fans speculated that Kelce himself may be part of whatever this is, perhaps as a voiceover artist or even featured performer in a crossover project that blends NFL, NHL, and Swiftian storytelling into one chaotic multimedia masterpiece.
“It’s giving The Last Dance meets Miss Americana meets Hard Knocks,” one TikTok user commented.
Could it be a documentary? A secret project? A Winter Classic halftime show?
One grainy clip captured Kelce mouthing the words “This is wild” while filming Taylor as she waved to fans below.
Gretzky Approves (And Might Be in On It)
The presence of Wayne Gretzky, hockey’s most iconic figure, only added fuel to the fire. Calm and collected with a ginger ale in hand, Gretzky didn’t appear phased. But one fan sitting near the suite told The Daily Wire that they overheard him chuckling and telling Kelce:
“She’s got more style than half the league put together.”
Whether it was a compliment, a joke—or a secret endorsement—remains unclear.
But one thing’s certain: Gretzky didn’t look surprised.
And when The Great One isn’t surprised… maybe he already knows something.
NHL Officials Stay Quiet… But Not Too Quiet
So far, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman has declined to comment officially. But a source inside the league office, speaking anonymously, revealed:
“Look, we didn’t book Taylor Swift. But if she wants to take over hockey? We’re not stopping her.”
The same source said Game 4 viewership “spiked hard” the moment Taylor appeared on camera. And when her denim jacket turned around to reveal “87,” NHL.com temporarily crashed due to a surge in traffic to the Sidney Crosby bio page.
That’s the power of Swift.
The Fan Reactions: From Conspiracy to Complete Devotion
Across platforms, fan reactions ranged from unhinged to heartwarming.
One Swiftie wrote:
“I’ve never watched hockey in my life, but if Taylor’s there, I’m there.”
Another NHL diehard posted:
“At first I was mad. Now I just want her to sing the national anthem at Game 5. Preferably in goalie pads.”
Some shared side-by-side edits of Swift in the box with Gretzky and Kelce, labeling it “The Holy Trinity of Chaos.”
Others simply begged: “TAYLOR. DROP. THE. PROJECT.”
So… What Now?
What’s next? Will Taylor attend Game 5? Will she drop a Crosby-themed lyric on Instagram? Will Travis post a behind-the-scenes video? Will Gretzky suddenly be featured on a Spotify single titled Blue Line Heartbreak?
Too early to tell.
But one thing is certain: the NHL didn’t ask for Taylor Swift… but they got her. And it might just change everything.
If she shows up to Game 5 wearing a helmet and shoulder pads?
We’re calling it: The NHL-Swiftie Era has begun.
