Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark, a known Taylor Swift superfan, recently opened up about her unexpected experience at the singer’s Eras Tour.
While the basketball sensation was there to enjoy the music, she found herself at the center of attention among Swifties, much to her surprise.
A Star Among Swifties
Clark attended back-to-back Eras Tour shows at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, where she mingled with Swift’s mom, Andrea, and even met Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs star and Swift’s rumored boyfriend.
But the real shock came from the fans in the crowd. “I thought people would be so in their own world, ready to see Taylor. And it was just completely the opposite,” Clark told TIME Magazine.
Fans flocked to her suite, asking for photos and showering her with friendship bracelets, a hallmark of Swift’s concerts.
A 30-Page Prep for Concert Navigation
The basketball star revealed that her team had prepared her for the event with an extensive 30-page PDF to help her navigate the chaos of the concert.
Despite the detailed instructions, Clark couldn’t have anticipated the overwhelming enthusiasm from Swift’s fanbase.
Taylor’s Thoughtful Gesture
Swift showed her appreciation for Clark’s support by gifting her four bags of Eras Tour merchandise, accompanied by a heartfelt note praising the athlete’s inspiring performances.
The kindness didn’t stop there—Swift hinted at attending one of Clark’s Indiana Fever games now that her tour is wrapping up and even invited Clark to join her for a Chiefs game.
Praise from Travis Kelce
Kelce also shared his admiration for Clark, calling her “awesome” on his New Heights podcast.
He noted that Clark, a proud Midwesterner, was fully immersed in the concert experience, attending with her mom and friends.
“She’s a Swiftie through and through,” Kelce said, adding that it was clear she was having the time of her life.
Bracelets Overload
As much as Clark loved the attention, there was a downside—an overwhelming number of friendship bracelets.
She admitted that the bracelets piled so high on her arm that they began cutting off her circulation.
“I had to take them off,” she joked at the Women’s Leadership Summit.
“Everyone was just chucking their bracelets at me.”
Wrapping Up an Era
As Taylor Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour comes to a close in Vancouver, Clark’s unforgettable experience remains a testament to the crossover between sports and music stardom.
For Clark, it’s more than just being a fan—it’s about connecting with an artist she admires while being celebrated in return.
