A plethora of squads around the NHL creatively posted about the announcement of Swift’s new album.
A new Taylor Swift era is among us as the Grammy Award-winning artist recently announced her new album, « The Life of a Showgirl. »
The news came as Swift teased her appearance on the « New Heights » podcast, hosted by Jason and Travis Kelce, Swift’s boyfriend. The episode releases Wednesday and marks the first time Swift will be on the podcast.
NHL teams reacted accordingly to Swift’s album news. The league even posted its own picture of Swift and Kelce on the ice.
A new era is here.

The pop star is no stranger to the hockey scene. Swift and Kelce attended Game 4 of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final between the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers. Kelce is a noted Chicago Blackhawks fan, but welcomed Panthers star Matthew Tkachuk on a « New Heights » episode in February. The two also partied together in July 2024.
A plethora of squads creatively acknowledged Swift’s announcement.
Winger Jarome Iginla, a Hall of Famer, rocked No. 12 for the Flames from 1996 to 2013. With « The Life of a Showgirl » being Swift’s 12th album, Calgary featured Iginla on a cover with orange glitter, a nod to Swift’s website that features a similar color.

The Hurricanes opted for two posts, but it was their most recent one that gained steam on social media. They posted an email from « our VP », asking why they haven’t collaborated with Swift.
