The WNBA has had a slam dunk of a year, and we’re recapping the most memorable music moments from the season. Caitlin Clark has been one of the biggest breakouts, but did you know the Indiana Fever star is a Swiftie? In a video shared on X, Caitlin can be seen belting out her favorite Taylor Swift song. She also mentioned going to the Eras Tour and even showed off her friendship bracelets in an interview with her teammate Aliyah Boston. From Caitlin Clark to Angel Reese, superstar rapper Latto had a viral moment earlier this year while supporting Reese at a Chicago Sky game. Latto has been a huge supporter of Reese’s, ever since her “Put it on the Floor” cameo, but Angel Reese isn’t the only one with courtside celebs cheering her on, so do the New York Liberty.
From New York icons like Spike Lee, to pop stars like Tyla. And with the team in the finals, the support has gotten even bigger. They celebrated a big win against the Las Vegas Aces in the semifinals by singing “Empire State of Mind” with Alicia Keys. Celebs aren’t just supporting teams, they’ve also become big fans of their iconic mascot Ellie the Elephant. Ellie does it all, hanging out with Justin Timberlake during sound check to performing onstage with Ciara and a Beyoncé ‘Renaissance’-themed halftime show. Who doesn’t love a good mascot? Go Ellie go!
