For months, everyone was waiting to see what Caitlin Clark planned to do during the offseason. A successful rookie season in the WNBA followed a nonstop collegiate career at Iowa. With so much basketball and off-court attention in succession, it seemed like Clark just wanted to relax for once. Despite many reports stating she wanted a break, Clark continued to be tempted by Unrivaled, a new 3-on-3 basketball league featuring WNBA stars that promised at least a $100,000 salary.
Clark saw fellow rookie Angel Reese quickly join, but she ultimately decided against the money. With spare time on her hands, Clark took the liberty to watch her favorite NFL team in the playoffs, the Kansas City Chiefs. Not even Clark herself could have imagined meeting up with Taylor Swift and having a full-on conversation with the global icon.

Everyone knows who Clark is, so she doesn’t need any extra marketing, but she essentially got free publicity that will span globally just by appearing on TV with Swift. Despite it being a casual conversation, millions of Swift fans are likely searching who Clark is.
Not to mention, getting on Swift’s good side could possibly lead to a partnership opportunity at some point in the future. We’ve seen Clark at a Swift concert in the past, so this could be the beginning of a fruitful friendship.
