It has been a rough 2026 for Caitlin Clark. After losing most of the 2025 campaign to a groin injury, she returned to the court with a vengeance. However, that spirit hasn’t translated into success in quite the way she hoped.
The Indiana Fever, who pushed the Las Vegas Aces to the brink without her, haven’t found the same rhythm with her this year. As a result, her All-Star nod is in jeopardy. But she is now finding support in a rather strange way, as the Taylor Swift fandom has taken note of her.

Averaging a career-high 21.1 points per game, Clark has also continued to be an excellent playmaker with 8.1 assists a night. The efficiency, too, is steadily increasing, as she shoots at a 42.3% clip from the field.
However, the one area that continues to pull her back is the win column. At 9-7, the Fever have been underwhelming, to say the least. Despite sitting as the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference, they haven’t been an overly dominant force.
Now, after losing back-to-back games to her arch-rival, Angel Reese and the Atlanta Dream, it has put a dent in her case as an All-Star as well. But one group remains steadfast in support of the former Rookie of the Year: the Swifties.
As one fan told the fandom, “Swifties, let’s put our voting skills to good use. Caitlin Clark (fellow big Swiftie) needs our support in WNBA All-Star voting! Caitlin continues to elevate women’s sports and inspire fans across the world. Let’s help make her an All-Star starter! You can vote daily through Sat, June 27. Select Caitlin (you can leave others blank), vote with email. Let’s show up for Caitlin how she’s shown up for Taylor,” others were quick to jump in her support.
One fan said, “YEEES THANK YOU!!! As a fellow WNBA fan and a Swiftie, thank you girls for using your big platform to support her.” Even those skeptical of the situation were on board with the idea. “i normally don’t like when tay update accounts do this but that’s tayvis child so we will support.”
The result seemed rather undeniable after their support. As a fan said, “The Swifties are in on All-Star voting! CC’s numbers are about to [increasing graph emoji].” Others followed a similar path, with one fan even comparing it to an Avengers-style team-up.

“In other news, CCFC has invoked the biggest in the game, the Swifties lol. CCFC + Swifties feels like an Avengers meetup between sport, music, and pop culture. What a time.”
It remains to be seen whether a cry on social media leads to tangible results in the votes. But with a huge fan following already behind her, the added advantage of having the Swift fandom in her corner could do wonders for Clark moving forward.
