Taylor Swift and Caitlin Clark NFL sighting draws criticism from Skip Bayless

Skip Bayless calls out Caitlin Clark for appearing with Taylor Swift at an NFL game, sparking heated online debates.

Sports commentator Skip Bayless sparked controversy after criticizing WNBA star Caitlin Clark for attending an NFL game with Taylor Swift. 

The Indiana Fever player was spotted with the global pop icon at Arrowhead Stadium during the Kansas City Chiefs’ AFC Divisional matchup against the Houston Texans.

Bayless, known for his outspoken opinions, took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his disapproval of the pairing. "WAIT, CAITLIN CLARK IS UP IN THE ARROWHEAD BOX WITH TAYLOR SWIFT??? CAITLIN, YOU DON'T NEED TO BE SEEN WITH HER. YOU'RE BIGGER THAN SHE IS. JUST STAY ON YOUR OWN PATH," he posted.

The sighting of Clark, a rising basketball star, alongside Swift, who has been a consistent presence at NFL games since her relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce became public, quickly drew widespread attention online. Fans of both figures dismissed Bayless’ comments, praising Clark and Swift for enjoying the game together.

While Bayless fanned the flames of debate, neither Clark nor Swift has responded publicly. The Chiefs continued their winning streak, defeating the Texans 23-14, securing a spot in the AFC Championship on January 26.

Caitlin Clark, meanwhile, is gearing up for the upcoming WNBA season. Her Indiana Fever will face Angel Reese’s Chicago Sky on May 17, in what promises to be a highly anticipated season opener.

The Chiefs, aiming for a historic third consecutive Super Bowl win, will face either the Baltimore Ravens or Buffalo Bills in their quest to make NFL history.
