WNBA star Caitlin Clark, known for her incredible talent on the court, recently shared her admiration for the Kansas City Chiefs, and unsurprisingly, her favorite player is none other than Travis Kelce. During her appearance on the New Heights podcast with brothers Travis and Jason Kelce, Clark opened up about her deep-rooted love for the Chiefs and how she became a fan of the team.
Clark, who plays for the Indiana Fever, grew up in a household that was deeply connected to the Kansas City Chiefs. She shared how her family maintained a tradition of attending Chiefs games, with one memory in particular standing out — spending a Christmas Eve at a cold game watching Travis Kelce play. This experience cemented her loyalty to the team.
“I was [a fan] before Patrick [Mahomes] and Travis were on the team,” Clark explained, dismissing any suggestions that she had jumped on the bandwagon following the Chiefs' recent successes. “My dad was a big Chiefs fan growing up.” Clark’s history with the Chiefs dates back long before the team’s championship runs, proving that her fandom is not just a passing phase.
Travis Kelce: Her Favorite Player
When asked about her favorite Chiefs player, Caitlin Clark didn’t hesitate. “I mean, obviously Travis is up there,” she said, sparking excitement from both Travis and Jason Kelce. While she also expressed her admiration for star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, it was clear that Travis held a special place in her heart.
In a playful moment during the podcast, Travis humorously mimicked Mahomes’ signature voice to thank Clark, which had everyone laughing.
A Confident Chiefs Fan for Super Bowl Success
The conversation then turned to the Chiefs’ current season, with the team holding an impressive 13-1 record. Jason Kelce asked Clark about the team’s Super Bowl prospects, and she responded with confidence, expressing that she felt good about their chances.
“I’m feeling good,” Clark said, adding that the team’s "edge" and "clutch factor" made the Chiefs an exciting team to support. She went on to praise Travis and his brother for giving the team a unique dynamic, saying, “You guys have that edge, that clutch factor,” which resonated with her as a fan.
Clark’s Connection to Travis and Taylor Swift
Beyond her admiration for the Chiefs, Clark also praised Travis Kelce and his relationship with Taylor Swift. In a show of her unwavering support for both of them, Clark recalled her time serving Travis and Taylor Swift during one of Swift's Eras Tour shows in Indianapolis. Her affection for the couple is evident, as she admires not only Travis as an athlete but also his connection to Swift.
A True Devotee to the Chiefs
Caitlin Clark’s enthusiasm and devotion to the Chiefs go beyond mere fandom. Her support for the team — and specifically for Travis Kelce — is grounded in years of tradition and personal connection. With her positive outlook on the Chiefs’ season, including their Super Bowl chances, it’s clear that Clark’s loyalty to the team is as solid as ever.
Through her infectious passion for the sport and her unwavering commitment to her favorite team, Caitlin Clark is a true Chiefs fan, and she has no plans of jumping off the bandwagon anytime soon.
