Chiefs’ Travis Kelce was in demand at Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final.

The Stanley Cup Final has been electric with three of the four games going to overtime and the series between the Panthers and Oilers tied.

Edmonton rallied from a three-goal deficit on Thursday, blew a late lead in regulation and finally defeated the Panthers 5-4 in overtime in Game 4 at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida.

Despite that incredible action, television cameras weren’t focused on the game alone Thursday night after Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce arrived to watch with girlfriend, superstar singer Taylor Swift.

The celebrity couple was in a suite next to one used by members of the city of Sunrise, and the elected officials were just as gaga over Swift and Kelce as others.

Video of Swift meeting with a young fan went viral Thursday night, but it didn’t have audio. Later, the full video was shared and you can hear Swift sweetly talking with a young fan.

And Assistant Deputy Mayor Jacqueline Guzman asked for Kelce, who came down and shook hands with Sunrise officials and Guzman’s 10-year-old son, Jeremiah, who underwent lung surgery earlier this year.

The video gives you an idea of the crushing demand Swift faces from people who want to meet her.
