Caitlyn Clark had a memorable night at Taylor Swift’s concert at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Friday, November 1. As Taylor Swift took the stage in front of 63,000 fans, Caitlyn Clark, the Indiana Fever basketball star, was spotted wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans, fully joining in on the fun. She even exchanged friendship bracelets with fans in the crowd—a classic Swiftie tradition.
Clark, who wears the number 22 jersey for the Fever, shared a post from her VIP spot captioned, “I’m fired up!” It was a fitting nod, as Swift’s hit song titled 22 shares her jersey number. Photos of Clark trading friendship bracelets with fans quickly spread on social media, capturing her excitement and connection with fellow Swifties.
The timing of this concert was especially meaningful for Clark. Both she and Swift had recently been named in TIME magazine’s list of inspiring women, with both featured on the cover. Plus, Friday brought big news for Clark’s WNBA career—the Indiana Fever announced Stephanie White as the team’s new head coach.
Besides her love for Swift’s music, Clark is also a Kansas City Chiefs fan—the team that Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, plays for. Clark even tweeted, “Taylor Swift, welcome to the good side—Chiefs Kingdom,” after Swift made headlines by supporting Kelce at his game. Comparisons between Clark and Swift keep growing. On Friday, sports journalist Lieberman shared on SiriusXM that “Clark is the Taylor Swift of women’s basketball,” with fans who are just as loyal and passionate.

Wherever Clark plays, arenas are filled with her supporters, many of whom sport her jersey. Meanwhile, Swift’s Eras Tour has been a record-breaking phenomenon, with each concert packed to capacity. Her relationship with Kelce has only added to the media buzz, as she was spotted supporting the Chiefs on Thursday night before heading to dinner with him in New York City.
It’s been a whirlwind week for both Swift and Clark, two superstars shining in their own fields.
