Another superstar friendship may be on the horizon for Taylor Swift.

Caitlin Clark was named Time’s “Athlete of the Year” on Tuesday and in an accompanying profile, the 22-year-old WNBA star opened up about her recent interactions with Swift, 34, during a pair of recent Eras Tour concerts.

The Indiana Fever star attended “back-to-back” Eras Tour performances during Swift’s Nov. 1-3 run at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind., last month, according to Time, and even met with Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce and his mom Donna Kelce during one of the shows.

Clark told Time she was blown away by Swift fans’ reactions to her being at the concert, explaining that Swifties were “just going crazy that I’m there,” asking her to take photos and throwing her Swift’s trademark friendship bracelets.

“I thought people would be so in their own world, ready to see Taylor. And it was just completely the opposite,” Clark told the outlet.

But it wasn’t just Swift’s fans who noticed her attendance.

The “Shake It Off” singer ended up sending the WNBA Rookie of the Year “four bags” of Eras Tour merchandise, according to Time, which also reported that the bags came with a note saying Swift has been inspired to watch Clark’s rise in recent years.

Swift even invited Clark to attend an upcoming Kansas City Chiefs game with her and wrote in her note that “Trav and I” are hoping to attend an Indiana Fever game to watch her play, as well.

The superstar co-sign is the latest feather in Clark’s cap, after a whirlwind 2024 that saw her become the NCAA Division I all-time leading scorer (in men’s or women’s basketball), lead her former Iowa Hawkeyes to a second-straight national championship game, get drafted No. 1 overall by the Fever, break the WNBA’s single-season assist record and win Rookie of the Year while leading the once-last place Indiana Fever back to the WNBA Playoffs.

In the meantime, she was named the AP Player of the Year for a second-straight season and became a WNBA All Star, all while helping revitalize the sport — which will likely see record-breaking contracts by 2026 as WNBA players renegotiate their pay with the league on the heels of its rising popularity and record-breaking viewership numbers.

For Swift, she’s broken records in her own right in 2024 — her own, to be exact.

Swift capped off her multi-year Eras Tour this past weekend by breaking her own touring record, selling a total of $2,077,618,725 in tickets, according to the New York Times.

Swift called the globetrotting tour “the most thrilling chapter of my entire life” and said it’s been “the most exciting, powerful, electrifying, intense, most challenging thing I’ve ever done.”
