After Dwarfing Caitlin Clark, Travis Kelce Hints at Fulfilling Fan’s Unique Request
Caitlin Clark just began the month in the best possible way – with a Taylor Swift concert! Although Indiana was the last stop on the pop star’s US Tour, her No. 1 (new) fan from the Fever was spotted for two nights in a row at Lucas Oil Stadium. And as if that wasn’t enough excitement, the often called ‘Taylor Swift of basketball’ also got to meet Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce. And while we know that the Fever rookie is a huge Chiefs fan, it seems like the admiration is mutual.
On his podcast New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, the Chiefs tight end revealed about the show, “It was fun, got to meet Caitlin Clark there. She’s awesome, she loves being out there in Indianapolis, says it’s a fun city. We’re both just two Midwesterners to the heart. Played high school ball, college ball, pro ball, all out here in the Midwest and it was cool catching up with her.”
When a photo of the two athletes in the same VIP box at the show went viral, fans couldn’t help but notice the height difference between the two. Even though the reigning Rookie of the Year is a good 6’0”, Kelce dwarfed her at 6’5″. That picture ignited another request – for the Kelce brothers to have CC on their show as a guest. But fans might not have imagined something like this!
When his brother asks him if her dance moves are as good as her jump shots, Travis Kelce laughs. “She was into the show for sure. She was there with her mom and a few friends. I think she had been to- I think this is her third or fourth show, she’s a Swiftie through and through man.”
Clark has been spotted singing along to Swift’s songs at practice and even went viral for singing Enchanted (her favorite song) by the musician. Although she stopped when she realized she was off-key, laughing. CC also declared it on WNBA draft night but usually claims that she’s a ‘new’ Swiftie. But seems like she’s catching up quickly.
Nevertheless, these November nights must have been fun for No. 22 as she was also spotted exchanging friendship bracelets with fans. The Fever guard posted a picture of her arm adorned with bracelets up to her elbow, captioning it, “I’m dedicated.” Interestingly, it’s not just TayTay that Clark is a fan of.
Caitlin Clark happily welcomed Travis Kelce to the T-Swift club last year
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift took the NFL by storm last year as it seemed like an almost fairy tale romance. When the news was officially released, Caitlin Clark had a message for the Chiefs tight end. “Taylor Swift welcome to the good side,” read her X post. Meanwhile, the hashtag said #chiefskingdom, displaying the W star’s fandom.
In fact, she has previously noted how Chiefs game was part of her Sunday routine growing up. “That’s what I really looked forward to most on Sundays … we would be watching the Chiefs and I would be upset if they lost and I still am. Like every Sunday that’s what (is) usually the brightest part of my day is turning on the TV and watching the Chiefs.”
The post went viral at a time when Clark’s on-court nemesis Angel Reese had interviewed Kelce’s ex-girlfriend Kayla Nicole. While that ignited a firestorm of controversy online, neither party officially commented on it, nor did the stars of the 2024 WNBA draft class.
But all that seems to have been put behind them now as Clark and Kelce enjoy the last of Swift’s concerts in the country this year. Given how big of a fan she is of the Kansas City team, it was a full-circle moment when the two met. Now it would be perfect if the two appeared on the podcast together, and better yet, if Taylor Swift was part of it too!
