Angel Reese Had 3 Reasons to Go Against Caitlin Clark’s Wish as She Confesses Love for NFL Star
Let’s be real—Caitlin Clark is a die-hard Kansas City Chiefs fan. She’s been at Arrowhead for all the big moments, celebrated their wins, and even partied in a suite with Taylor Swift. But this Super Bowl season? Enter Angel Reese. Once again, these two rivals found themselves on opposite sides, only this time, it wasn’t the hardwood—it was the gridiron.
On her latest episode of Unapologetically Angel, Reese ditched the usual sit-down format for a behind-the-scenes look at the Celebrity Football game leading up to the Super Bowl. And she made one thing crystal clear: “I’m going with the Eagles tomorrow.” That wasn’t just a casual pick—Reese had her reasons, and they carried weight.
The Chicago Sky’s star support for the Eagles runs deeper than just game-day hype. It’s about Jalen Hurts and his underdog journey. Hurts went from a 2020 second-round pick to a $255 million franchise quarterback, notching an SEC Offensive Player of the Year title, putting up a 304-yard, three-touchdown performance in Super Bowl LVII, and landing on Time100 Next. For Reese, that’s more than stats—it’s a mindset, one that echoes her own rise as a leader during LSU’s championship run.
Reese is no stranger to the NFL scene. She’s pulled up to Ravens games and even checked out a Panthers-Bears matchup last season. But this time, she was in New Orleans, soaking up the Super Bowl atmosphere without the stress of choosing the same familiar route as long-time Chiefs fan Clark. She wasn’t just picking a team; she was making a statement.
When one dives into her second reason, it reflects team loyalty beyond the field. Reese and her Chicago Sky teammate, Kahleah Copper, have built a strong bond. Not just that, Copper’s passion for the Eagles is no secret. Copper is a Philly native and Eagles diehard who once lost her mind over Hurts’ post-injury comeback fit (sky-blue cargo pants, matching boots, chef’s kiss). When Hurts returned to practice this season, Copper posted a breathless “whewww” on social media,
Backing Philly wasn’t just about football—it was about team chemistry, that unspoken connection that turns locker-room energy into success.
Then we see the Fanatics Super Bowl weekend party, where Reese jumped into a celebrity flag football game and took charge. She made sure everyone brought their best, even giving Kai Cenat’s team some direction. And when Serena Williams popped up at halftime of the big game? Reese kept it simple on social media: “10/10. Plus Serena. Chef’s kiss.”
This wasn’t about sticking with the expected. It was about embracing something new, stirring the pot, and staying true to herself. Whether it’s backing the Eagles, breaking new ground with her McDonald’s collab, or turning heads at Michael Rubin’s Fanatics party, Reese is proving that sometimes, the best move isn’t playing it safe—it’s stepping into the unknown and owning it.
Meanwhile, Clark’s Chiefs loyalty remained as strong as ever. With Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce leading the charge toward an unprecedented three-peat, Clark’s connection to the team isn’t just a casual fandom—it’s part of her story. And much like her own rookie season, the Chiefs were chasing history.
And while Reese is carving her own path, Clark is making headlines of her own—boasting 19.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, and a league-leading 8.4 assists per game—underscoring her commitment to excellence, with every stat reinforcing her belief in having the right “tools” to dominate.
Caitlin Clark joins Taylor in another journey outside the Kansas Team
Caitlin Clark is on fire, and not just on the court. Fresh off a record-breaking rookie season where she led the WNBA in assists, won Rookie of the Year, and set countless records, Clark is making waves in pop culture, too. The latest proof? She’s getting her very own Mad Libs book.
Yes, the same Mad Libs that’s been a favorite for generations. Since its launch in 1958, the word game has sold over 110 million copies. Not many celebrities have had the honor of headlining their own edition. But now, Clark is in exclusive company—right alongside Taylor Swift.
“She shoots, she VERB!” reads the description of Mad Libs For the Fans: Caitlin Clark Edition. The book features 21 “fill-in-the-blank” stories about Clark, women’s basketball, and sports in general. Perfect for playing solo, in a group, or even in front of a packed arena. It’s available now for preorder at $6.99 and officially drops on Nov. 4.
Clark’s connection to Swift doesn’t stop with Mad Libs. She’s a proud Swiftie and even attended back-to-back nights of the Eras Tour in Indianapolis. But the real highlight? When Swift invited her to a Kansas City Chiefs game. The two were spotted cheering for Travis Kelce from a VIP box during the team’s playoff win over the Houston Texans.
Now, fans are buzzing about whether Swift will return the favor and show up to a Fever game. With the WNBA season tipping off on May 16, the wait might not be long.
Clark’s star keeps rising. On the hardwood, in bookstores, and maybe soon, courtside with one of the biggest pop stars in the world.
