Caitlin Clark’s appearance on Jason and Travis Kelce’s “New Heights” show made waves on Thursday as two of the biggest stars in sports shared a screen in the highly-anticipated podcast episode.
The WNBA star concluded their chat by hinting at a big wish that the Kansas City Chiefs tight end could fulfill for her that would ensure another Clark and Kelce crossover in person. If she’s lucky, Taylor Swift could even be involved
It would be the perfect way to thank the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year, who the Kelce brothers referred to as “the most requested guest” in the history of “New Heights.” Starting off 2025 with a BANG!!!
TOMORROW. THE CAITLIN CLARK EPISODE. pic.twitter.com/6xZQnqSwLD — New Heights (@newheightshow) January 1, 2025 An Iowa native, Clark is a well-known Chiefs fan, and her wish reflected it. She spent time on Thursday’s show diving into her history as a part of Chiefs Kingdom, which she emphasized goes back further than Kelce and Patrick Mahomes and their three Super Bowl titles.
“I was there before Patrick and Travis,” she told the Kelces. “We were ride or die.” She said that she would try to attend one NFL game per year with her cousins who lived in Kansas City, including games around Christmas in 2022 and 2023. She did not make it to the Chiefs’ game in Pittsburgh on Dec. 25. Clark has not been to a game at Arrowhead Stadium yet this season, but she hopes to make up for it with a little help from her new friend on the Chiefs.
“I got some time,” said the WNBA All-Star, who chose not to play in the new Unrivaled basketball league to rest during the Indiana Fever offseason. “Hopefully I can make it to a Chiefs game here soon,” Clark teased. “Maybe a playoff game or something.” “Well, we punched our ticket,” Kelce said of the 15-1 Chiefs, whose win over the Steelers on Christmas secured the No. 1 seed in the AFC.

Kansas City’s first playoff game will be in the Divisional Round after a bye, meaning Clark could be in attendance on Jan. 18 or Jan. 19 if she accepts the invitation
