Ariana Grande cheers on Florida Panthers in Stanley Cup Final Game Two as the pop star shares adorable throwback to show her support
Ariana Grande might be the Panthers’ lucky charm.
The pop star was on hand for Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final as Florida earned another victory against the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night.
The Boca Raton native was joined by her boyfriend Courtney Chipolone and mother Joan Grande, who celebrated her birthday at Amerant Bank Arena as she watched their team take a 2-0 lead in the series.
Earlier in the day, the Wicked actress shared an adorable throwback photo of herself on the ice with the Panthers mascot.
“Let’s go,” she captioned the photo, which showed her wearing a blue velvet skating dress, knee pads and a helmet.

She followed it up with a current photo of herself hugging the furry mascot, named Stanley C. Panther, while playing the game from a private suite.
The Into You hitmaker has a rich history with the team: she was hit twice by a rogue puck while attending games as a child, got the chance to ride the zamboni and even sang the national anthem in 2002.
After a rough few years, Florida has reached the Stanley Cup Finals in back-to-back seasons and is favored to win for the first time in franchise history.
The longtime fan was also on hand to support the team during Game 1, along with her boyfriend Ethan Slater.
Grande stepped out for a rare date night with the Broadway star as they cheered on her team in vintage merchandise.

The Boy is Mine singer appeared to be in good spirits with her boyfriend as they were spotted laughing and chatting from a VIP suite.
Grande and Slater started dating after meeting on the set of Wicked last year, amid her divorce from Dalton Gomez and the actor’s divorce from ex-wife Lilly Jay.
Last week, the infamously private singer attended an intimate performance of Slater’s weeklong residency at Café Carlyle in New York City.
An insider told People that the theater artist spoke about his “big year of change” and referenced falling in love while performing.
‘The show was mainly about him and his love of music and theatre, although he did take a quick look at Ariana when he sang a line about ‘Lucky to be in love’. It was very cute,” the eyewitness told the newspaper.
