“(The concert) was fun, saw Caitlin Clark there, got to meet Caitlin. She’s awesome, she loves being out there in Indianapolis, says it’s a fun city, and we’re both just true Midwesterners to the heart. Played high school ball, college ball, pro ball all out here in the Midwest, and it was cool catching up with her,” Kelce said. 

Kelce grew up in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, went to college at the University of Cincinnati and has spent his entire 12-year NFL career with the Chiefs, all in the Midwest.

Clark’s hometown is West Des Moines, Iowa, where she helped transcend women’s college basketball into the spotlight at the University of Iowa, and now is playing for the Indiana Fever in the WNBA.

Travis’ brother Jason Kelce was interested in whether Clark’s dance moves were as good as her jump shot. 

“(Clark) was into the show for sure, she was there with her mom and a few friends she had been – I think this was like her third or fourth show she had been too. She’s a Swiftie through and through, man,” Travis said.

“Loves the show. I went to night two, she had already been to night one and, I think she’s just having fun going up to the shows and taking her friends and family and getting everybody to experience Tay up there on stage, making the entire 69,000, 70,000 people go f—ing nuts for three and a half hours, four hours.”

After finishing her shows in Indianapolis, Swift was at the Chiefs’ 30-24 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers supporting Kelce despite being rumored to appear at Vice President Kamala Harris’ Pennsylvania rally on Monday night.
