Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark’s appearance in Thursday’s episode of the “New Heights” podcast triggered a key question about the Kansas City Chiefs.

WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark wants the world to know that she’s a “ride-or-die” fan of the Kansas City Chiefs from way back. And so it made sense that during her high-profile appearance on this week’s episode of the “New Heights” podcast co-hosted by Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, the subject of her favorite KC player of all time would be broached.

And of course, because Travis was sitting right there …

Swift shared many of her experiences attending Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour” concert – a fitting issue as Swift is the girlfriend of Kelce – and Clark also discussed her Chiefs fandom with the Kelce brothers Travis and Jason.

“I had family in Kansas City, and I grew up in Des Moines, Iowa, which is only three hours from Kansas City,” Clark said of her deep non-“bandwagon” devotion to the team. “So, that’s just the closest NFL team. My dad was a big Chiefs fan growing up.

“People think I’m a bandwagon Chiefs fan. I was like, ‘No, I was there before Patrick and Travis.'”

And then came the arguable highlight of the conversation, as Clark was asked about her current favorite Chiefs player. With no hesitatation,  she ended up naming Travis Kelce … which he founf to be flattering.

“Yeah!” he shouted with a celebratory fist pump.

Caitlin Clark did say that she’s also a huge fan of QB Patrick Mahomes, which in the end makes Clark likes the rest of Chiefs fans – and like Swift, too.

Travis Kelce and Mahomes and a path to a third straight Super Bowl? What’s not to love?
