1. Taylor Swift & NY Rangers

As all Swifties know, Taylor has a special connection with New York. This is evident in her song “Welcome to New York." In the song, she discusses only the positive things about New York. She also has a song called “Cornelia Street," where she sings about a street in Manhattan, New York. Taylor happens to own a house in NY, and has stated that the whole city itself had a huge impact and influence on her life during the recording of her album 1989. What other team would suit her better?
2. SZA & San Jose Sharks

This one is hard to explain but it just sits right with me. I mean, SZA looks and has a vibe as though she belongs in California so why not San Jose? There is another team in California (Anaheim Ducks), but she just does not match with them. Besides that, it’s really just that when I saw the sharks I instantly connected them with SZA. They just work together and its inexplainable as to why.
3. Morgan Wallen & Dallas Stars

This one is pretty self explanatory but come on, a country artist and Texas. It just makes sense. He was born in Tennessee, but he just doesn't work with the Nashville Predators. When I think of country music, I think of the south. Texas is as southern as a state could be. Morgan Wallen was also named Texas’ favorite country music singer according to WFAA. He was also the headliner for the big ACM awards concert which took place in North Texas.
4. Mac Miller & Flyers

Mac Miller was born in Pennsylvania, but that’s not the only reason why I grouped him with the Flyers. A lot of Philadelphia fans are known for having an “I don't give a crap” attitude, and so did Mac Miller. He wrote his music with no limitations on what he could or could not say, and it turned out to be amazing.
5. Celine Dion & Montreal Canadiens

Celine Dion is one of Canada's most iconic singers, and has always expressed her love for hockey. Over the years, she has shown her support for the Canadiens franchise in many ways including performing in a Canadiens jersey, and meeting some of the team's alumni.
6. Carrie Underwood & Nashville Predators

Carrie Underwood is currently married to a former Senators forward, Mike Fisher. Fisher has since been traded to the Nashville Predators, where he became a valuable player to the team. If you’ve been to a Predators game, then you have most likely seen Underwood there supporting her spouse. She has even performed the Star-Spangled banner at the arena before games.
7. Ariana Grande & Florida Panthers

Ariana Grande was hugely impacted by the Panthers when she was younger. She would always attend the games and was even featured in their local newspaper. Grande wasn’t featured in the paper for her amazing voice, but was instead featured in it because she was hit in the head with a puck twice at games before the age of five. Similar to Underwood, Grande has also been welcomed into the rink to perform the Star-Spangled banner.
