Caitlin Clark has tapped into a massive new fan base with her t-shirt on Tuesday, donning gear from Taylor Swift’s ‘Eras Tour’ as she boarded a team flight.
Clark has shown love for and been friends with Swift in the past, including attending Eras Tour stops at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis last year.
Swift returned the favor to Clark by inviting her to sit in a luxury box for a Kansas City Chiefs game, watching the ‘Anti-Hero’ singer’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce in the playoffs in January against the Houston Texans.
Clark also appeared on Travis and Jason Kelce’s podcast, ‘New Heights’, months back, admitting she has been a Chiefs fan for years.
The Indiana Fever star, who is currently injured with a quad ailment, showed off her t-shirt on a team flight to Baltimore.
‘Reppin’ T-Swift baby!’ Clark said walking to the plane. ‘Best shirt in the world!’

Swift and Clark have been in public together before, including at a Kansas City Chiefs game
The Fever play the Washington Mystics on Wednesday night in a game moved from the nation’s capital to Baltimore, where the team could play in front of a larger crowd, due to Clark’s popularity.
Now, Clark will be in attendance, but will not take the court for a single minute, as she will be sidelined for at least two weeks with the injury.
Clark has had an eventful start to her sophomore professional season, as she had an on-court incident against Angel Reese and objected to a no-foul call at the end of Saturday’s game against the New York Liberty.
The Fever are 2-2 and have been in every game this season. The team is expected to make the postseason for the second straight year, with improvements made to the roster around Clark.
Now, the Fever will have to try to stay the course with their best player, and Swift fan, on the bench.
