When WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark posted “AHHHHHHH!!!!!! LFGGGGGG” on Instagram this week, fans knew exactly what had her so fired up. The announcement that Taylor Swift would finally appear on Travis Kelce’s podcast sent the basketball star into full fangirl mode, and honestly, who could blame her? The crossover moment between sports and pop culture royalty that everyone saw coming just became reality.
How Did Caitlin Clark React to Taylor Swift’s “New Heights” Podcast News?
Two of the biggest names in the sports and entertainment world have been forming a strong connection, and fans just can’t seem to get enough of it. Clark and Swift are both adored by their loyal fan bases, but this week, they showed just how genuine their mutual admiration has become.
Swift is appearing on the “New Heights” podcast, which will air on Wednesday, and Clark was all for it. The Indiana Fever guard jumped on social media to express her joy after the news broke, posting her support for Swift on Instagram.
Swift and her partner, NFL star Travis Kelce, have been dating for almost two years now, so it seemed like only a matter of time before she first appeared on his podcast. The “New Heights” podcast, which is hosted by Travis and his brother Jason, has been a huge hit with sports fans and has featured some of the most iconic celebrities on the planet.
Earlier this week, the brothers shared a teaser of their upcoming episode, and Clark was delighted to see Swift as the show’s latest guest. The Fever guard couldn’t contain her excitement, sharing a clip from the podcast on her Instagram story with a short message to go with it.

Clark’s reaction isn’t too surprising considering her history with the Grammy-winning artist. The WNBA superstar has emerged as one of the biggest women’s sports celebrities, but few people can match Swift’s draw and stardom. The musician has an international following and is one of the highest-grossing female artists of all time.
The basketball star has spoken about her admiration for the talented artist and even attended one of Swift’s concerts at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Plus, Clark has been raised a Kansas City Chiefs fan, giving her another reason to tune into the podcast and support Kelce’s team.
Their connection goes beyond just fandom. Earlier this year, Clark and Swift were spotted sitting together at a suite in Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City to cheer on Kelce when the Chiefs took on the Houston Texans. The moment showed their friendship had moved beyond social media posts into real-world hangouts.
Last year, Clark and Swift were both featured on the cover of Time Magazine’s Inspiring Women edition, joining other high-profile celebrities such as Serena Williams, Selena Gomez, and Billie Eilish.
There is plenty of buzz surrounding Swift’s podcast appearance, and it should be a fun episode considering her boyfriend will be asking some of the tough questions. Clark is one fan who will definitely be tuning in for this highly anticipated episode.
