If you thought the fiery rivalry between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese ended when they left the NCAA, you must be living under a rock—or just not keeping up with TikTok, because the drama continues to simmer both on and off the court. Clark, the Indiana Fever’s golden child, and Reese, the Chicago Sky’s own fiery forward, have taken their heated competition beyond basketball, into the arena of viral videos, fan debates, and even a Taylor Swift concert. Yes, you read that right—Taylor Swift. More on that later.
From “You Can’t See Me” to “You STILL Can’t See Me”
It all started back in their college days when Reese and her LSU Tigers put a stop to Clark’s fairytale run with the Iowa Hawkeyes in the 2023 NCAA championship. Reese’s iconic “You can’t see me” taunt—courtesy of John Cena, but delivered with extra sass—was aimed squarely at Clark. That moment? Pure NCAA gold, the stuff memes are made of.
Fast forward to their WNBA rookie seasons, and Clark quickly took center stage, dragging the Indiana Fever to the playoffs, earning Rookie of the Year honors, and basically doing all the things basketball stars do. Reese, meanwhile, had a solid season for the Sky, but there was no denying Clark’s shadow was looming large. In classic Reese fashion, though, she didn’t back down. After all, why settle for being second when you can keep poking the bear?
Enter: The Epic College Reenactment (Because, Why Not?)
Just when you thought this rivalry couldn’t get any juicier, a couple of students decided to bring it to life in what has to be one of the most ambitious fan parodies of the year. In a video that quickly went viral, two wannabe ballers dressed up as Clark and Reese, complete with the signature gestures and all the theatrical flair you’d expect from people who’ve clearly watched way too much ESPN. The duo taunted, shoved, and reenacted the infamous “You can’t see me” moment, all while their classmates waved signs like it was a mini-WNBA finals—only with much worse jump shots.
The best part? The whole thing was so over-the-top, it was impossible not to laugh. Even the actual Clark and Reese had to acknowledge it on social media, with Clark tweeting a simple “wow” and Reese hitting back with her usual dose of side-eye emojis. Clearly, this feud isn’t cooling off anytime soon.
Angel Reese vs. Caitlin Clark: The Taylor Swift Edition
Now, about that Taylor Swift concert… It’s one thing to see these two battle it out on the hardwood, but Clark’s decision to rock up to a Taylor Swift concert in what some are calling a “modest” outfit has unleashed a whole new wave of fan drama. Reese’s supporters (because, yes, in 2024, athletes come with their own fan clubs) took the opportunity to jab at Clark, apparently dissatisfied with her choice of “casual” concert wear.
Because why argue about stats and championships when you can dissect each other’s wardrobe choices, right? But knowing Clark and Reese, it won’t be long before this fashion “rivalry” turns into yet another showdown, probably involving custom-designed WNBA jerseys with rhinestones. Or, dare we dream, a Clark vs. Reese at a Taylor Swift concert, battling it out for the best seat in the house.
What’s Next for the Dynamic Duo?
As the WNBA’s offseason drags on, fans are already counting the days until these two lace up their sneakers and take the court again. Will Reese finally get the upper hand in their head-to-head matchup? Will Clark continue to dominate the highlight reels with her deep threes and no-look passes? Or will they end up with their own reality TV show, where they critique each other’s outfits, game footage, and Instagram captions?
One thing is for sure: Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese have given us a rivalry for the ages, one that refuses to stay neatly inside the lines of a basketball court. And we’re here for every minute of it, because let’s be honest—this is the kind of drama sports fans live for.
Stay tuned. The 2025 WNBA season is shaping up to be a wild one. And who knows? We might even see a few more viral reenactments along the way.
