After Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever delivered a stellar performance against the Phoenix Mercury, the WNBA star and her boyfriend Connor McCaffery, showed up at Lucas Oil Stadium to cheer for the Indianapolis Colts during the preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals on August 16.
And this is where fans began comparing her with popstar Taylor Swift.
If that sounds a bit bizarre, that’s because it is.
Clark and McCaffery’s presence at the NFL game sent media and fans into a frenzy as they jumped to compare the WNBA star to pop sensation , who also makes waves with her NFL game appearances to root for her boyfriend and Chiefs star, Travis Kelce.
While some fans made the comparison with Swift on a positive note, there was a section of people who didn’t shy away from making critical comments.
One fan saw Clark as a refreshing presence in the NFL scene, who could bring a similar level of buzz to the games as Taylor did:
Clark fans were also overjoyed to see her on the sidelines, with one even saying they would pick the basketball star over the pop star any day.
While a different fan did not have a problem with the celebrity-related hype at NFL games but personally liked having Clark around:
While some fans were way too quick to jump on the Taylor Swift hate train, they seem to have forgotten that Clark herself jams to Swift’s tracks from time to time.
Is WNBA star Caitlin Clark a Swiftie?
Four months back, an old video surfaced on X, featuring Clark grooving to Swift’s hit “You Belong With Me” while warming up.
Naturally, as the clip started doing rounds on the internet, Swifties who also happened to be a fan of Clark’s realized the potential for a fandom crossover.
At the 2024 WNBA Draft, Clark previously clarified that she is not a Swiftie but she does appreciate the pop icon’s music and how Taylor “is the girl”.
Speaking of which, despite their different domains, Caitlin Clark and Taylor Swift both hold sway in popular culture.
Clark, a WNBA prodigy has boosted viewership and jersey sales for the league, and Swift has been busy boosting entire economies through her record-busting Eras Tours.
