Controversy erupted during the Kansas City Chiefs’ recent playoff game when WNBA star Caitlin Clark was spotted sitting with singer Taylor Swift in a private suite at Arrowhead Stadium. Sports commentator Skip Bayless, known for his outspoken opinions, slammed Caitlin for befriending Taylor, saying she’s “bigger” than Swift and should stay on her own path.
Caitlin, a self-proclaimed Swiftie, had attended two of Taylor’s concerts in November 2024. However, not everyone was pleased with their friendship. Skip Bayless took to X to express his discontent, writing that Caitlin doesn’t need the “Swifties” and should instead focus on her own fanbase.
The NFL also came under fire from Skip, who accused referees of making biased calls in favor of the Chiefs to appease Taylor’s fans, known as Swifties. He claimed that the NFL was now “a prisoner of the Swifties,” protecting Patrick Mahomes to secure high ratings for future games.
Many users found Skip’s comments odd and called him out for being too harsh on Caitlin. Others wondered why he typed in all caps during his rant. The WNBA star has faced backlash, but her fans, known as the Clarkies, have rallied around her, defending her right to associate with whoever she chooses.
