WNBA star Caitlin Clark gave a rare glimpse into what her friends Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been doing since stepping back from the spotlight. With the couple taking some time off from public events, Clark shared insights on their current vibe and what fans might expect next.
A Quiet Season for the Famous Duo
When asked if Swift and Kelce would show up at an Indiana Fever game this season, Clark didn’t give a straight yes or no. “Oh gosh, I don’t know,” she told USA Today. “I mean, I hope so.” That pretty much sums up the air of uncertainty around their public appearances lately.
Clark described the couple as being in “vacation mode.” She said, “I feel like they’re also living — they’re in vacation mode right now. So I hope they enjoy a nice little break out of the spotlight.” It sounds like they’re savoring some downtime, probably recharging after a whirlwind few months filled with football playoffs, a high-profile music tour, and intense media attention.
Still, Clark believes the couple will be cheering for her team, the Indiana Fever, “either way.” That’s some loyal friendship for you!
From Eras Tour to Basketball Courts: How Clark and Swift Connected
Their friendship kicked off last November when Clark attended two back-to-back Taylor Swift concerts at Indianapolis’ Lucas Oil Stadium. Watching the Eras Tour wasn’t just about fangirling — it led to a memorable meeting. Clark got to hang out in a private suite where she met both Travis Kelce and Swift’s mom, Andrea.
Swift wasn’t shy about showing appreciation. The pop icon gifted Clark four bags of Eras Tour merchandise along with a personalized letter. According to Clark, the note said Swift and Kelce were “excited” to attend one of her WNBA games. That’s a pretty sweet nod from the superstar couple.
And the invitations keep rolling in. Swift invited Clark to a Kansas City Chiefs game, which the basketball player happily accepted. The two were even spotted hugging and cheering in a VIP suite during the AFC Divisional Round playoff game in January. There, Travis Kelce scored a touchdown against the Houston Texans, making the moment even more memorable.
The Couple’s Low Profile After the Super Bowl
Since the Chiefs’ disappointing Super Bowl loss in February 2025, Swift and Kelce have noticeably been keeping things quiet. They haven’t made many public appearances together. It’s as if they hit the pause button on the spotlight.
But it’s not like they disappeared entirely. The couple was seen together on Mother’s Day in Philadelphia, a rare outing that sparked excitement among fans eager for any sign of them. It’s clear they’re trying to balance their high-profile lives with moments of normalcy.
Celebrity Friendships and Mutual Support
Clark’s connection with Swift and Kelce offers a refreshing look at how celebrities can support each other outside the glare of the cameras. Their relationship isn’t just about flashy public appearances but genuine camaraderie.
The basketball star’s enthusiasm for the Eras Tour, the heartfelt gifts, and mutual attendance at sports games show how their worlds overlap in unexpected ways. Clark raved about the experience on the “Swarmcast” podcast, calling it “incredible.”
