Taylor Swift had a special guest at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday: Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark.
Clark joined the singer in her suite as the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Houston Texans in the divisional round of the playoffs. Clark and Swift were sitting in a box with family and friends of Swift and her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
Clark, a longtime Chiefs fan, is also a noted fan of Swift’s music: in her 2024 Time Athlete of the Year profile, she talked about attending back-to-back Eras Tour shows at Lucas Oil Stadium, where she met Swift and Kelce’s mother. Swift gave Clark merchandise and invited her to join her for a Chiefs game.
Clark spoke about her Chiefs fandom on Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast earlier this month, telling Travis and Jason Kelce that she had been a Kansas City fan her entire life.
“I’m a kid from the Midwest,” she said, explaining that her hometown of Des Moines, Iowa, is three hours from Kansas City, Mo., and that she was also there of the family. “My dad was a big Chiefs fan growing up. People think I’m a running Chiefs fan, I’m like, ‘No, I was there before Patrick (Mahomes) and Travis (Kelce). We were going to roll or die.”
Kansas City won 23-14, with Mahomes now heading to his seventh straight AFC Championship Game. Kelce finished with 117 receiving yards and a touchdown.
