Caitlin Clark is officially “enchanted!” Having revealed the Speak Now song as one of her favorites, the reigning Rookie of the Year got to experience it live from the pop artist herself. As Taylor Swift’s US Tour wraps up in Indianapolis, the state’s shining star has been present at Lucas Oil Stadium for two nights in a row. And she is rubbing elbows with Travis Kelce to boot!
Eagle-eyed fans caught Clark in the same VIP box as Swift’s boyfriend, although they did not seem to be interacting with each other during the show, we can see the rookie grooving next to the 35-year-old. But the rookie has admitted that she’s a huge Chiefs tight end, so she might have been fangirling over Kelce as well! The Fever guard was also jamming to the 4-hour-plus show in a chic outfit. Per an X account dedicated to Clark’s fashion, she was “wearing @Prada Cropped Cotton Fleece T-Shirt,” worth $975, and “@aliceandolivia Trish Low Rise Embellished Baggy Jean,” worth $795, on night 2 in Indy.
CC also exchanged friendship bracelets with fans in true Swiftie fashion. The trend comes from lyrics from Swift’s song ‘You’re on Your Own Kid’: “So make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it.” No. 22 posted a picture of her arm filled with bracelets up to the elbow and captioned it, “I’m dedicated.” For someone who has come under fire for ‘liking’ the musician’s post supporting Kamala Harris before the elections, Caitlin Clark is certainly a huge fan!

Per Yahoo! Sports, the WNBA star’s mom was also present with her on Saturday, and it would have been no surprise if she had returned for the last night as well! With this, Swift wraps up her year-and-a-half-long tour in the country before moving on to Canada, where we likely might not see her number-one fan from basketball present.
But Clark, who has made the most of her first offseason as a pro by playing golf and going back to her Iowa roots, might take heart in a statement from Nancy Lieberman as she gets over the Eras daze. Even Cari Champion agrees!

Former pro calls Caitlin Clark ‘Taylor Swift’ of the basketball world
What can be said about Caitlin Clark that has not been said before? She took women’s basketball by storm this year with broken records on the court and invited viewership not seen in the W since its inaugural year. As impressed as the rest of us, Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman made an apt comparison between one of the most famous names in the sport and one of the most recognizable names in music.
“It doesn’t matter who people fancy at the moment,” Lieberman during an appearance on SiriusXM in September. “It’s Caitlin Clark. She’s the Taylor Swift of women’s basketball right now. Her fans are like ‘Swifties.’ They’re extraordinarily loyal. And in every arena you go into, half the people there are her fans wearing her jerseys. She’s a media superstar, but damn, she’s backed it up every step of the way.”

And it’s even more impressive because Swift has had more than 15 years to establish this dominance but Clark has just finished her rookie season. But just as ‘Tim McGraw’ made the country singer into a national sensation, so will Caitlin Clark’s three-pointers!
