When Caitlin Clark liked Taylor Swift’s viral Instagram post endorsing Kamala Harris for U.S. President, many thought she was also supporting Harris.
Setting the Record Straight:
However, before Fever’s game against the Aces on Wednesday, Clark clarified her stance. She explained that liking Swift’s post wasn’t an endorsement of Harris but a call for people to make informed decisions when voting.
“I think for myself, I have this amazing platform,” Clark said via USA Today’s Christine Brennan. “So I think the biggest thing would be just to encourage people to register to vote. It’s the second time I can vote in an election… I think [voter registration], that’s the biggest thing I can do with the platform that I have. That’s the same thing Taylor [Swift] did. I think continue to educate yourself with the candidates that we have, and the policies that they’re supporting. I think that’s the biggest thing you can do, and that’s what I would recommend to every single person that has that opportunity in our country.”

Patrick Mahomes’ Similar Stance:
Interestingly, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes shared similar thoughts during a news conference on Wednesday. He emphasized using his influence to motivate voters rather than endorsing a specific candidate.
Fans appreciate athletes who use their platforms responsibly.
Game Update:
Clark’s team entered Wednesdayโs game against the Aces with six wins out of their last eight games, aiming for playoff momentum. Unfortunately, they lost 86-75 to the reigning two-time WNBA champions. Fever will face off against Aces again on Friday before wrapping up their regular season against Wings and Mystics.
The WNBA playoffs begin on Sept. 22nd!
