Caitlin Clark is officially part of the friend group. The WNBA superstar and longtime Kansas City Chiefs fan looked like she was at home inside the VIP suite at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday. She watched the Chiefs beat the Houston Texans 24-13 in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs alongside pop star Taylor Swift, sparking theories by NFL fans about the back-to-back Super Bowl champions. A photo posted to Instagram on Sunday showed Clark surrounded by a group of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce’s friends, and it quickly got the attention of fans across social media.

(@TayvisHaze) January 19, 2025 “Love the boys with Caitlin!!” said a comment on the original photo, posted to Instagram by stylist Aric Jones. “She got the all black memo too,” a fan said of Clark’s outfit, while another response posited, “Wonder if she was in the GC with the black fit.” Kelce’s friends appeared to be matching with Swift’s expensive all-black Chanel outfit that she wore to the NFL playoff game.
“She turnt up,” wrote a user who reposted Jones’ photo with Clark on X. Caitlin Mfn Clark good in any hood pic.twitter.com/cwBFfutwVc — Priceless (@YeahItsAhNo) January 19, 2025 “She part of the crew,” joked a post on X. “It so over wnba and haters lol.” Clark was welcomed into Kelce’s VIP suite – you can see the photo of him behind Clark in the photo – by the Chiefs star himself. He granted her wish for tickets after she appeared on his podcast, “New Heights,” on Jan. 2.
It is unclear if the Indiana Fever star will attend the Chiefs’ next playoff game, but by the looks of things, she fit in perfectly with the wide range of special guests at Arrowhead Stadium. No. 1 seed Kansas City will host the either the Buffalo Bills or Baltimore Ravens in the AFC championship next Sunday. Clark has the freedom to attend after declining to play in the new Unrivaled 3-on-3 women’s basketball league during the WNBA offseason.
