It’s no secret that Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark is a big Taylor Swift fan, and her excitement for the Eras Tour was on full display this weekend. On Friday night, Clark joined thousands of other Swifties at Lucas Oil Stadium to witness the magic of Taylor Swift live.
Swift’s Eras Tour made its stop in Indianapolis, and Lucas Oil Stadium, home of the Indianapolis Colts, was transformed into a concert venue filled with the energy of Taylor Swift’s iconic music and devoted fans. Clark, whose love for Swift has been well-documented, couldn’t resist being part of the action. While it’s unclear if she plans to attend all three of the weekend shows, one thing is certain—she was in the building on Friday night to experience the concert firsthand.
Clark shared her excitement with her followers, posting a photo of her view at the concert to her Instagram Story. Along with the photo, she wrote, “I’m fired up!”—a relatable sentiment for anyone lucky enough to attend a Taylor Swift concert. The excitement in her post resonated with fans, and it’s easy to understand why. Taylor Swift’s ability to captivate an audience with her powerful performances and her deep connection with fans has made the Eras Tour a massive success.
The night marked a memorable moment for Clark, but it wasn’t just the concert that made it special. Earlier in the day, she received significant news about her future in the WNBA—Stephanie White has been named the new head coach of the Indiana Fever, starting with the 2025 season.
White, who spent the past two seasons as the head coach of the Connecticut Sun, will be taking the reins at a pivotal time for the franchise, which is aiming to return to the glory days of its past. Clark is undoubtedly a crucial part of that vision.

“I am incredibly proud and honored to return home to Indiana and lead the Fever during such a pivotal moment in this franchise’s history, as well as during such an important time throughout women’s athletics,” White said in a statement. “This franchise has and always will be committed to winning, and I look forward to working every day to help deliver another WNBA title to the greatest basketball fans in the world.”
For Clark, having White as her head coach represents an exciting opportunity. The Fever are looking to build a championship-contending team around their young star, and White’s experience and passion for the game are expected to be instrumental in shaping the team’s future. With the addition of White to the coaching staff, the Fever are positioning themselves to create something special during the Caitlin Clark era.
This offseason has been a time for Clark to finally catch her breath and enjoy herself after a whirlwind year that saw her transition from collegiate basketball to the pros in just a few short weeks. Given her tireless work ethic and dedication, it’s no wonder she is taking time to have some fun. The chance to attend one of the biggest concerts in the world was a well-deserved moment of joy for her.
But make no mistake—Clark is not stepping away from the game for too long. As the Fever look to return to the playoffs, she will soon be back in the gym, preparing to lead her team on the court. The young star is eager to continue her journey in the WNBA and make her mark on the league, both as a player and as a leader.
Friday was a day full of excitement for Caitlin Clark, combining her love of music with important news about her professional basketball career.
Between celebrating Taylor Swift’s spectacular concert and welcoming a new head coach to lead the Fever, it’s safe to say this offseason is already shaping up to be an eventful one for Clark.
