Taylor Swift sweetly referenced 'boyfriend' Travis Kelce in hospital visit
Pop star Taylor Swift and Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce have been spending some time in Florida as of late, with the smitten couple taking in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers on Thursday. Before the game, Swift surprised patients at Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital in Hollywood, Florida with a visit that included pictures, hugs and an all-around sweet day.
One mega Swiftie that the 14-time Grammy winner popped in to see was Jamarr, who posted video of the visit. At one point, someone in the room asked Swift why she was in Florida, and the The Tortured Poets Department singer had a ready and sensible answer that involved her beau of two years.
"My boyfriend is training here, so I just thought I'd come see how you're doing," Swift told Jamarr.
Kelce has been getting in workouts in the sunshine state, allegedly losing about 25 pounds and slimming down a bit before the season. With the Chiefs mini-camp on the calendar for June 17-19, Kelce -- and likely Swift -- will return to Kansas City.
With Kelce's 13th season getting underway soon and Swift recently wrapping up the purchase of her masters, the lovey-dovey pair deserved a little getaway to sunshine and sand. That Swift got a chance to brighten the day of some fans is just the cherry on top.

Panthers have been living up Cup celebration and they're ‘not toning it down'

The Florida Panthers certainly have been enjoying themselves the past few days after winning their second consecutive Stanley Cup. They have made multiple trips to the Elbo Room on Fort Lauderdale Beach, a stop at the Miami nightclub E11even, gone out to team dinners and taken a boat ride. Things have gotten chaotic at times, but after becoming just the seventh team in the expansion era of the NHL to win the Cup in consecutive years, yeah, they're taking the time to celebrate. 'We're not toning it down,' defenseman Aaron Ekblad said. 'We just won two Stanley Cups in a row; we deserve to have a good time. We have good people in that room, so anything…if people think we're crossing the line, there's no chance. We're just having a good time, it's pure excitement. There's obviously a respect factor, and, you know, personally, I try to toe that line, but, no, it's all fun, and you know, we deserve it, for sure.' Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov said the team is able to enjoy itself more this time around because they 'know the feeling already a little bit.' 'Don't get me wrong, it's still amazing,' Barkov said, 'but now everyone just knows how to sit back a little bit and enjoy it because last year was so hectic. It happened and it's your first time ever, and you've been dreaming about it for such a long time. I feel like this year, everyone gave permission to themselves to enjoy it. We've had a good time.' Who's been the party MVP at this point? 'I don't see how Barky doesn't get his jersey retired at E11even,' star winger Matthew Tkachuk, one of the rowdier players on the team, said with a smile. 'He was incredible. E-Rod [Evan Rodrigues] was on another level. Marchy [Brad Marchand] has been Marchy. I'd say Reino [Sam Reinhart] has been really good, too. It's been great for me. I'm just able to hide in the weeds this year, and I feel like I've been doing pretty good, as well. But there's been some guys that have put in quite a shift. It's been an impressive outing from the team.' Now, the partying has led to some dings and dents on the Stanley Cup. Has the team heard from the Hall of Fame about that? 'No. I think they've seen worse,' Barkov said. 'I think every week, they have to go and fix some part of it. But yeah, don't be stupid. Don't take it to the ocean, stuff like that. We should know the rules by now.' Tkachuk said the celebration will be a little more subdued on Saturday night before the team takes to Fort Lauderdale Beach on Sunday afternoon for its championship parade. 'I think you just ride the wave,' Reinhart said. 'When you put so much hard work into it, it makes it that much more fun going through it. And, you know, being around each other the last few days.'

Bennett has heartfelt reaction to winning Stanley Cup with Marchand

Bennett has heartfelt reaction to winning Stanley Cup with Marchand originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston Florida Panthers center Sam Bennett was the top villain in Boston during the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs when he appeared to hit then-Bruins captain Brad Marchand in the head during Game 3 of their second-round series at TD Garden. Advertisement Marchand was knocked out of the game as a result of the hit and also didn't play in Game 4. The Panthers won both of those games and ultimately eliminated the B's in Game 6. Bennett was not suspended for the hit, which angered Bruins fans. There was no penalty called on the play, either. Fast forward a year and Bennett and Marchand are not only friends, they just won the Stanley Cup together with the Panthers. That sentence would have sounded absurd if you said it at this time last year. But unfortunately for Bruins fans, it's reality. The B's dealt Marchand to the Panthers at the trade deadline on March 7, and he played a key role in the Panthers securing their second straight Stanley Cup title, culminating with a 5-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers in Game 6 of the Cup Final on Tuesday night. Advertisement Bennett won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP, and when asked about Marchand after the game, he gave a heartfelt answer on the bond the two players have created. 'As soon as he got traded here, he chirped me in the group chat instantly for our history and the (2024) playoffs,' Bennett told reporters at his press conference. 'What he's meant to this team — I truly don't think we win a Stanley Cup without him. His leadership, his will to win, it's inspiring. I was telling him before every game, 'We're going to follow you.' And we did. He was a dog every night. He for sure could have won this trophy. 'He's a better player and person than I ever knew, and I'm grateful that I got to play with him.' Advertisement Marchand tallied 20 points (10 goals, 10 assists) in 23 games during the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs, including six goals in the Cup Final. Bennett posted 22 points in 23 games, including a playoff-leading 15 goals (five in the Cup Final). Either one of them would have been a deserving Conn Smythe Trophy winner. Bennett won it after receiving 76 voting points (including 11 first-place votes), eight more than Marchand's 68 voting points. The question now is, will both players be back in Florida next season? Both Marchand and Bennett are able to become unrestricted free agents this summer.

Bad Bunny Says It Is Silly To Complain About His Job

It's fair to say that Bad Bunny is one of the hardest-working music artists in the game right now. Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio went from the barrio to the Billboard charts, becoming one of the first Latin artists to sell out stadiums around the world, even breaking the record for most tickets ever sold in Spain (he's set to perform 12 shows there on his upcoming tour). In a June 18 interview with Variety, the Puerto Rican superstar spoke to his work ethic as a music artist and celebrity. When his comments went viral, the fans were eating it up just as much as his boricua beats. In the interview, discussing his upcoming residency and tour surrounding his sixth studio album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, Benito got real about what's expected of him as he embarks on one of the biggest tours of his career. "At times, I do think, cabrón, what I'm signing up for is a lot," he said. For context, Benito is set to perform a 30-night residency at the Colseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan, not too far from where he grew up from July 11 to Sept. 14, and then he's going on a 56-date world stadium tour from November 2025 to July 2026. Basically, he's booked and busy. "But the way I see it, I'm not a doctor; I'm not a teacher; I'm not someone who has to wake up every morning at 5 a.m. to lay down concrete on a busy road to survive," Benito continued. "My job is to fucking sing, and even though it comes with its own set of sacrifices, it feels silly to complain about it." When Benito's comments on the pressure of fame started to make their rounds on the internet, like in this Reddit thread, a lot of people had something to say about it, many praising the three-time Grammy winner for his honesty. Here are some of my favorite comments. "He's a man who got famous as an adult and has managed to become the hometown hero of Puerto Rico, which he obviously put in the work to deserve. It's not necessarily easy to handle, but you can compare that to what a lot of women and people who start as child stars go through. Good for him that he feels this way about it, but I'm not shocked that it's not a common perspective. If he can avoid the toxicity of overwhelming greed and not chase being a billionaire or whatever, he might actually stay happy," a Reddit user shared. Another Reddit user said, "Finally someone with some common sense. I'm so tired of celebs complaining how hard their job is, having never worked a real job in their lives. Like, sure, the pressure must be a lot and paparazzi and public scrutiny, but that's nothing compared to some annoying boomer manager breathing down your neck 24/7 or a customer having a screaming meltdown over a difference of 28 cents or cleaning up vomit, etc." "I appreciate the humility but the more artists downplay the work they put in the more the public does as well. EVERY job has pros and cons so please remember that. He is lucky to have the job he has but it's not like many of them don't work hard for it. 💙" X user wrote. This Reddit user wrote, "He has the right attitude and a healthy perspective." "Good way of putting it, everything is relative and even with fame and money and privilege you can still stress and be sad and be overwhelmed at times, but still understand and be grateful for what you have," another X user wrote. "I truly wish more celebrities and influencers had enough self-awareness to realize that publicly whining about their privileged lives doesn't hit the way they think it does," another Reddit user added. Finally, this Reddit user said, "It doesn't even sound like he's saying that as a performer you can't have bad days or struggle in/with your career, it more so sounds like he simply thinks it's in poor taste to publicly lament about how hard you have it since it's a highly privileged profession." What do you think about Bad Bunny's take on the pressures of being a famous singer? Let's talk about it in the comments.
