WNBA star Caitlin Clark details ‘incredible’ experience alongside Taylor Swift at Chiefs’ playoff game

Caitlin Clark, the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year, shared some details about her experience attending an NFL postseason game with Taylor Swift.

Clark sat beside Swift in a luxury suite at Arrowhead Stadium, the home of the Kansas City Chiefs, Jan. 18. The star duo chatted and hugged at times as the Chiefs took on the Houston Texans.

During a recent appearance on a podcast, Clark confirmed she supports the Chiefs and praised Swift’s kindness.

“I’m a huge Chiefs fan, and Taylor is a huge Chiefs fan,” Caitlin told the “Swarmcast” podcast. “Taylor is very sweet and very kind, and it’s a good reminder that people in our position are very normal. We enjoy watching sports and hanging out with our friends. It puts a great perspective on life.”

Since last season, Swift has made frequent appearances at Chiefs games in support of the team and star tight end Travis Kelce.

Clark further raved about her and Swift’s shared fondness for the Chiefs.

“It’s just cute to see how excited she is for the Chiefs and getting to share that. I was like, ‘Oh my God, she loves this. She loves the Chiefs as much as me, This is incredible,’” Clark said.

Clark said the meeting between the Chiefs and Texans ended up being “a perfect game.”

“We had so much fun, and, honestly, it was the perfect game. The Chiefs won. It was close at halftime. Travis scores a huge touchdown for the Chiefs. We ended up winning,” the Indiana Fever star added. “There was nothing crazy that happened, and we felt confident as it got to the end. It ended up being a perfect game.”

Clark’s surprise appearance at the game captured the attention of the sports world. After noticing Clark was attending the game alongside Swift, longtime sports commentator Skip Bayless shared his thoughts on the duo.

Bayless argued Clark did not “need to be seen with her.”

Bayless, who hosts a weekly podcast, posted a video to his social media platform as he addressed Clark’s decision to attend the game with the music star.

“Can somebody tell me what possessed Caitlin Clark to associate with Taylor Swift?” he asked.

Swift was on hand Sunday to watch the Chiefs defeat the Buffalo Bills in the AFC championship. The Chiefs will take on the NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl Feb. 9 in New Orleans.

Taylor Swift thanks Brittany Mahomes for keeping her calm during intense Chiefs AFC title win

Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes were all smiles on Sunday night as they joined their partners on the field to celebrate the Kansas City Chiefs’ AFC Championship win over the Buffalo Bills.

Photos showed Swift and Mahomes embracing on the field as they watched Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes accept the Lamar Hunt Trophy and talk about the possibility of making history with a potential third consecutive Super Bowl championship.

A video also showed what Swift told Mahomes on the field as confetti fell onto GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

“Oh my God, you kept me so calm the last couple weeks,” the pop star said, which was captured by The Kansas City Star on TikTok.

Mahomes had a little more experience in handling the high-pressure moments that the Chiefs have dealt with over the last few years. The Associated Press noted that Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has trailed in the fourth quarter in nine playoff games and has won the game in six of those times. He forced overtime in two others before losing.

Swift got to witness firsthand just how wild Chiefs games could get when they won against the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVII.

“I did not know what to do, and I told Brittany, ‘Tell me it’s gonna be OK,’” she told Donna Kelce on the field.

In the end, it was.

The Chiefs drove up the field to deliver the go-ahead field goal from Harrison Butker. Their defense was able to do enough to stymie Josh Allen and the Bills’ offense in the closing seconds to hold on for the win.

Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift celebrate Chiefs’ AFC Championship win

Taylor Swift was seen entering Arrowhead Stadium to cheer on the Kansas City Chiefs in their effort to make history and compete for a third straight Super Bowl championship.

Swift was far from the focal point of the contest as the Chiefs topped the Buffalo Bills. The CBS broadcast showed her reacting to a big play in the game along with at least two shots of her hanging out with her mother, Andrea, and Travis Kelce’s mom, Donna.

The next time Swift was shown was on the field as she and Donna watched Travis celebrate the team’s third consecutive conference title. Cameras also caught the two lovebirds sharing a few kisses in the mix of the celebration.

Swift was a major focus for the NFL and broadcasts during the 2023 season as she and the Chiefs’ star tight end announced themselves to the world as a couple. The “Swift Effect” was real, and her fandom drew an increase in viewership for the game.

However, Swift herself expressed some dismay with the attention she received in a 2023 interview with Time magazine.

“I don’t know how they know what suite I’m in,” she said. “There’s a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you don’t know where it is, and you have no idea when the camera is putting you in the broadcast, so I don’t know if I’m being shown 17 times or once.

“I’m just there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads,” she added, referencing the hype that came with her appearances – good and bad.

This season, Swift was seen at Arrowhead Stadium a few times, but she also had to continue with her “Eras Tour.” When the Chiefs were off, she and Kelce were spotted in New York City having dinner multiple times.

Kansas City is hoping to do the unthinkable: win three consecutive Super Bowl titles. No NFL team has accomplished the feat since the league merged with the American Football League.

Swift was right by the Chiefs’ side during last year’s playoff run, which included a divisional-round victory against the Bills.
