Caitlin Clark, the WNBA’s Rookie of the Year, is living her best offseason life, and let’s just say, basketball might be on the bench for now. Instead of hitting the court, Clark decided to attend back-to-back nights of Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour” in Indianapolis, fully cementing her place in Swiftie history. And, yes, the Swifties have claimed her as one of their own.
With thousands of screaming fans, friendship bracelets galore, and maybe even a glance at Travis Kelce in the crowd (cue conspiracy theories), Clark had no time for basketball during her Swiftie pilgrimage to Lucas Oil Stadium. Swift’s gravitational pull was just too strong for the Fever star, who spent two nights in fan bliss, soaking up every moment of the pop icon’s magical show.
On the first night, Clark brought along her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, and teammate Lexie Hull for a wholesome crew of “Swifties-in-training.” Night two saw her making it a family affair with her mom, because nothing says “Mom, I made it!” like singing along to “Love Story” together in a stadium full of Swifties. And hey, if rumors are true, they even had prime seats near the one and only Travis Kelce. But who’s paying attention to football when Taylor is taking the stage, right?
Clark’s unapologetic decision to attend the concert didn’t go unnoticed by fans. She even threw in a cheeky reply on the Fever’s Instagram account, basically saying, “Basketball? Never heard of her. I’m too busy with my girl Taylor.” Okay, not in those words, but you get the drift.
Swifties Declare Caitlin Clark as ‘One of Us’
The Swiftie community—always quick to rally behind their own—was in full support of Clark’s offseason priorities. After all, it’s Taylor Swift we’re talking about. One fan passionately declared, “Swifties don’t forget! In 2025, we need to support Caitlin Clark in her second year in the WNBA. She’s one of us!”
Another one chimed in with a war chant straight out of a fan cult: “One of us, one of us, one of us,” they repeated. The Swiftie army is officially crossing over to the WNBA, people. Buckle up.
And if you thought this fandom crossover wasn’t a big deal, think again. “I don’t know if the league is ready for a tandem of the Swifties and the Clarkies joining forces,” another fan said, clearly understanding the chaotic potential here. “Twitter would break!”
Friendship Bracelets, Swiftie Rituals, and Full-On Fan Mode
During both nights of the concert, Clark wasn’t just a passive fan—oh no. She fully leaned into the Swiftie tradition of exchanging friendship bracelets. Yes, the WNBA superstar was out there trading beaded bracelets like a seasoned pro. By the end of the weekend, she had so many bracelets on her arm, she could probably open a jewelry store.

Clark’s concert escapades didn’t stop at bracelet trading. She posted about her Swiftie experience and shared her excitement with fans, likely making every WNBA player who stayed in the gym over the weekend just a little bit jealous.
What’s Next for Caitlin? Hint: It’s Not Just Basketball
While the WNBA is surely eager to see their Rookie of the Year back on the court, Clark hasn’t exactly set out her formal offseason plans. Sure, she’ll eventually lace up her sneakers again, but right now, it’s all about vibes, concerts, and maybe even a few rounds of golf. Clark is set to participate in the upcoming LPGA event, “ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican,” alongside golf legend Annika Sorenstam. Maybe she’s plotting her next career as a multi-sport icon—because why not?
Until then, the feverish fandom of both Swifties and basketball lovers will have to wait for Caitlin Clark’s next move. But let’s be real—if Taylor Swift announces another tour, don’t be surprised if the Rookie of the Year is suddenly unavailable for practice… again.
