With the end of her impressive rookie season in the WNBA, Caitlin Clark’s first-ever professional offseason began, and she’s making the most of it. Whether it’s playing golf after training or spending quality time with friends, she’s doing it all. On November 1, she even posted a picture from Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour—but she wasn’t there alone.

Joining her was her beloved, Connor McCaffery. However, it wasn’t exactly what it seemed. While Clark is undoubtedly a Swift fan, McCaffery might not exactly be a Swiftie. In fact, they both joked about it in the comments of their own posts. It dates back to January 22, 2024, Clark’s birthday.

As usual, McCaffery, being a thoughtful partner, took to his official Instagram account to extend his wishes to the 22-year-old Iowa native. “Wish I was there to celebrate with you—you deserve the best day… Golden BDay/T Swift year will be the best yet,” he wrote, alongside a couple of pictures of them. But when Clark read the post, she couldn’t hold herself back and commented, “Acting like you’re a T Swift fan tho is crazy, but I will let this slide hehe.”

It all makes sense now. McCaffery isn’t a huge Swift fan, but he attended the concert just to make Clark feel special. Adorable, right? He fulfilled his purpose at Lucas Oil Stadium, as Clark was thrilled to be at the Eras Tour, as evident from her Instagram story. “I’m fired up!!!!” she wrote while sharing a photo of the stage as Gracie Abrams performed the opening act. But that’s not all.

Clark’s favorite song, “Enchanted,” as she told IndyStar, was also part of the Eras Tour setlist, and she got to hear it live at the concert. Well, seeing them spotted together at such events isn’t new. In fact, this offseason, the couple has been seen together multiple times on different occasions.

The power couple is enjoying it to the fullest.

After an impressive debut season, Clark took some time to relax courtside at a preseason Indiana Pacers game. To make it even more special, her boyfriend and former Iowa basketball star, Connor McCaffery, joined her. The power couple was also accompanied by another Fever standout, Kelsey Mitchell.

Soon after, Clark and McCaffery were spotted at a Halloween party, a fundraising event organized by the Pacers, with proceeds supporting Indiana communities through scholarships and grants for children’s education.

The event wasn’t limited to just fundraising; it was followed by an after-party with friends. As is common at such gatherings, both Clark and McCaffery were dressed in costumes, as revealed by stylist Dan Solomon. Well, the offseason has not ended yet, and neither has the special time the couple spends together off-court. Stay tuned to spot them together!
