Caitlin Clark Shared Her Thoughts About Meeting Taylor Swift
Few athletes have changed an entire sport the way Caitlin Clark has for the WNBA and few musical artists have transformed the industry like Taylor Swift.
Clark created a ratings bonanza for the WNBA, which saw record viewership during her rookie season. Swift, meanwhile, just obliterated the record for highest-grossing tour with her Eras Tour that brought in over $2 billion and was attended by more than 10 million people.
Swift's fanbase is one of the most loyal, and that seems to include Clark. The Indiana Fever star attended on of the singer's Eras Tour concerts before later joining Swift at a playoff game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans in January.
"I think what people don't always realize about people with a certain spotlight, whether it's her, whether it's me, whether it's another professional athlete or a pop star, we're real people," Clark told ESPN about Swift.
"We're just having normal conversations as any other person in Arrowhead Stadium that night. She loves the Chiefs just as much as I do. I'm talking football with her. She loved it, and just like her passion, and honestly, probably one of the sweetest people I've ever been around. And everybody says that when you meet her, but it's really true. She just treats everybody with the same amount of kindness, and her family was great."
Following the meeting Fever general manager Amber Cox attempted to ask Clark about the iconic meeting, but the reigning Rookie of the Year played it cool.
"I'm like, 'OK, well, how was the suite with Taylor?' She's like, 'It was really cool, she was really cool.' And then she's just off to her workout. And you're just like, 'Tell me more!' I love that about her," Cox told ESPN.
