It’s New Year! For sure, Caitlin Clark had a season to remember. Her 2024 WNBA rookie campaign was nothing short of historic. From breaking the single-season assist and scoring records to becoming the first rookie in history to notch a triple-double, Clark has proven herself as the future of the WNBA. Her impact has been felt far beyond the sport. Evidently so, drawing attention from some names from the NFL.

Since it’s the beginning of something new, Clark took to her official Instagram account to share a glimpse of the past year. Titled “My Fav Moments from the Best Year”, the post highlighted everything from her historic college season to shattering records in the WNBA, and making the Time’s Athlete of the Year.

Naturally, the post attracted cheer from her loved ones, including Kate Martin, Colin Clark, Cameron Brink, and Connor McCaffery among several others. But the standouts were heartfelt notes from Claire Kittle and Kristin Juszczyk.

Claire Kittle, wife of 49ers star George Kittle, an Iowa alum, who has previously attended Clark’s game and posed alongside her, chimed in with “The Best” accompanied by a hands-up emoji. Meanwhile, Kristin Juszczyk — married to fullback Kyle Juszczyk– who previously designed a custom vest for Clark, a first celebrating a female athlete, cheered on with, “Only going up from here.”

However, there was one highly anticipated NFL WAG’s comment missing—Taylor Swift. Though there has hardly been an interaction between the two, Clark’s widely known fan-girling moments and other WAGs’ reactions left room for expectations from the pop star. More so, considering Swift recently acknowledged the 22-year-old, building on to the excitement.

Taylor Swift invites Caitlin Clark and makes an exciting remark

Known for her witty shoutouts and unwavering fandom, Clark’s connection to the Chiefs has made her a beloved figure. Recently, her excitement reached new heights when Taylor Swift extended an invitation to Clark to attend a Chiefs game. She had given the Indiana Fever star four bags of exclusive merchandise and included a heartfelt note with it, a part of which conveyed Clark was “inspiring to watch.” 

Not just that, Swift, who’s in a relationship with the Chiefs’ tight end, Travis Kelce, suggested that she would watch her play alongside her boyfriend now that the Eras Tour had come to an end. This gesture from Swift was enough to send waves of excitement through both the sports and entertainment worlds. The crossover of these two influential figures has been a hot topic, and fans can’t get enough of it.
