The presence of the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and friend of Taylor Swift at the American Airlines Center did not go unnoticed

Travis Kelce has decided to experience Stanley Cup playoff fever.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end attended Game 2 of the Western Final between the Edmonton Oilers and the Dallas Stars at the American Airlines Center on Saturday. He was spotted in a dressing room with friends.

On social media, the Stars joked that they had a Blank Space on their jersey so Kelce could write his name on it, a reference to the song by his friend, singer Taylor Swift.

Earlier this year, the three-time Super Bowl champion revealed his love of hockey and Chicago Blackhawks forward Connor Bedard in an episode of his New Heights podcast.

Oilers vs. Stars

The Oilers began Game 2 on Saturday how they wanted to by building a 16-5 shot advantage in the opening frame, but they couldn't turn that up-tempo start into an advantage when Connor Brown's first of the playoffs that came 44 seconds after Jamie Benn's opening goal went down as Edmonton's only chance of many that they capitalized on in the opening 20 minutes.

Dallas began to respond over a scoreless middle stanza before Mason Marchment's tip-in less than four minutes into the final frame demonstrated just how slim the margin for error can be when you're this deep into the playoffs.

The forward's goal proved to be the difference to secure the Stars a split of the series after the Oilers' offence came up empty in the final three-quarters of the period against a committed Dallas defence willing to block shots and win battles.

Billie Eilish Sparked Rumors About Taylor Swif

double album sparkled rumors

Billie Eilish Sparked Rumors About Taylor Swift Beef With Her 'Useless' Vinyl Comments, So Eilish Responded, also talking about the newest albums released on the music market, e.g. The Tortured Poets Department and Hit Me Hard and Soft.

A few days ago, Billie Eilish made comments about how some artists were engaging in the "unnecessary" practice of releasing multiple vinyl variants of their double album. Some thought Eilish's criticism was aimed at Taylor Swift, but now Eilish is setting the record straight.

Last night (March 31), Eilish wrote in an Instagram Story post: "Okay, it would be so awesome if people stopped putting words in my mouth and actually read what I said in this article on notice board. I wasn't targeting anyone, these are systemic, industry-wide issues. And when it comes to variations, many artists are releasing them – including ME! what I clearly say in the article. the climate crisis is happening now and it's about all of us being part of the problem and trying to do better, shesh.

As for what Eilish actually said in the Billboard interview published on March 28, here are few lines:

Eilish says she lives in a time where, for whatever reason, it's very important for certain artists to make all kinds of different vinyls and packaging... which increases sales and numbers and makes them more money and brings them more...

Of course, that counts for No. 1 albums. It is just a small and innocent hint related to Hit Me Hard and Soft and The Tortured Poets Department

Eilish can’t even express to you how wasteful this is. It's right in front of hes eyes and people are getting away with it left and right, and she find it really frustrating as someone who's really doing everything possible to be sustainable and do the best they can and try to involve everything the world. on her team to be sustainable – and then it's some of the biggest artists in the world creating 40 different fucking vinyl packs that have one unique thing, just to entice you to keep buying more. It's so wasteful, and it's irritating to her that we're still at a point where you care so much about your numbers and making money - and it's all your favorite artists doing this shit .

It’s the hour of glory for French fans of Taylor Swift, long perceived as “UFOs” or “kids”

She was starting to break through in America, but not at all in France,” says this inveterate enthusiast of American culture, now 27 years old. “I always wondered why I got hooked so quickly. Country is not the kind of music you listen to at 12 years old... But it was above all the texts and lyrics that grabbed me: I immediately recognized her talents as a lyricist,” he assures. She.

In the memory of these early Swifties, their young American idol played little or no time on the French airwaves. Most discovered it on Anglo-American radio or television channels. This is the case of Dina Carraca, 31 years old. “French culture, in 2006, was not very US. I started hearing about her because I watched MTV a lot. One thing led to another, and I became interested in Taylor Swift,” explains this medical device sales manager in Cher. She particularly remembers the altercation, on the set of the MTV Awards, between Kanye West and Taylor Swift who had just won the prize. While she was singing on stage, the rapper interrupted her and snatched the trophy from her hands, loudly proclaiming that it should go to Beyoncé.
