WNBA star Caitlin Clark is forced to respond after Donald Trump supporters completely melt down over Clark liking Taylor Swift’s Instagram post endorsing Kamala Harris and Tim Walz and encouraging voter participation. John Iadarola and Sharon Reed break it down on The Damage Report.
“A number of fans have seemingly turned against Caitlin Clark after the WNBA star liked Taylor Swift’s Instagram post endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris.
Not long after Tuesday night’s debate between Harris and Donald Trump, Swift took to social media to officially announce her endorsement. That single Instagram post was not received well by the right, with responses ranging from Megyn Kelly cursing Swift out to Elon Musk offering to give the pop star a child.
Clark was just one of many celebrities who liked the post, but based on the recent comments under her own post, many of her fans did not appreciate it.
The 22-year-old last posted on Instagram on August 18. On that post, fans questioned her decision to like Swift’s post and accused her of “caving.” Others outright claimed they would no longer support the young star.”
Caitlin Clark’s ‘like’ has her facing harsh criticism for Taylor Swift’s political endorsement
Too much drama for a single click on Taylor’s IG post

Caitlin Clark found herself at the center of controversy after liking an Instagram post supporting Kamala Harris. The Indiana Fever rookie point guard’s action stirred mixed reactions among her fans, with some expressing disappointment and even calling for a boycott. The post in question was shared by Taylor Swift, who endorsed the political figures following a presidential debate. While Clark hasn’t explicitly endorsed Harris or Walz, her “like” on Swift’s post made her political stance clear to many.
Some fans were quick to criticize Clark for getting involved in politics, with one going as far as saying, “just threw away my jersey.” Others advised her to focus on her basketball career and brand, fearing that political involvement could damage her reputation. One fan remarked, “Was just starting to finally pay some attention to the WNBA because somebody was actually worth watching, then you caved.”

Despite the backlash, Clark stood firm on her decision. She emphasized the importance of using her platform for positive influence, particularly in encouraging people to vote. In response to the criticism, she stated, “I think for myself, I have this amazing platform, so I think the biggest thing would be to encourage people to vote.” Clark also stressed the significance of being informed about political matters, much like Taylor Swift has advocated.

Another wrote, “Now I choose to stop watching the WNBA and Clark. I hope it was worth it!” The situation reflected the difficult reality that athletes, like any public figures, can face serious backlash for expressing political opinions.
In a press conference, Clark did not back down, confirming her support for Harris. “I liked her post because I believe in what she stands for,” she stated.
Ultimately, Clark’s actions highlight the tension that arises when athletes step into the political arena. While some fans appreciate her willingness to use her platform for advocacy, others see it as a reason to walk away. As Clark continues her career, she’ll likely face both support and opposition, but it’s clear she’s not backing down from speaking her mind.
