Caitlin Clark and Connor McCaffery are back at it again. Only this time, it is the latter soaking up all the attention.
The Iowa power couple was seen at the Hawkeyes’ dominant victory against MSU at the Gainbridge Arena this Thursday. Clark, passionate as ever about her alma mater, was out of her seat nearly the entire game. She trolled the refs, embraced her former teammates, and shouted from the sidelines. But the real attention grabber? McCaffery’s shirt!
There hasn’t been a bigger Swiftie in basketball than Caitlin Clark. The 2024 ROTY sat through gruelling traffic, navigated thousands in crowd, and took in all the mumbled gushing to make it to the pop sensation’s concert twice! And you know she’s a truer one when she turned those around her into Swifties too. No, it isn’t just her mother. If Connor’s outfit during his courtside appearance was any indication, a little Swiftie passion was rubbed on him. At least, that was the speculation. But not anymore.
As the women in gold and black dominated the Spartans in Clark’s stomping ground, McCaffery quietly sat focused in his Eras Tour t-shirt. And the social media went wild over it. But if that wasn’t enough confirmation, he admitted it himself on Instagram!
In a post shared by Bri Lewerke, a well-known sports photographer, both Clark and McCaffery were seen enjoying the Iowa vs MSU game. However, the comments section held an important confirmation within them. Hawkeyes forward Jada Gyamfi called out the Butler coach, calling him a “swiftieeeee.” The former Hawkeye didn’t deny. He responded with a simple “duh”.
It was a heartwarming confirmation from McCaffery. What’s even more touching, however, is the fact that the Butler assistant coach might have gotten into Taylor Swift just for CC!

The Iowa power couple is known to go all out when celebrating each other. Birthdays, anniversaries, they hold nothing back during special days. However, a loving celebration last year turned into a sign of things to come.
On Caitlin Clark’s 22nd birthday, Connor McCaffery shared a heartwarming Instagram post for his girlfriend. “Happy Birthday 22.” The post read, wishing the Indiana Fever star the happiest birthday and a whole lot of love. “Golden Bday/T Swift year will be the best yet.” This caption, as heart-meltingly cute as it was, was prophetic in some ways. 2024 did turn out to be the ‘T Swift year’ that Connor referenced, and it manifested quite literally.

However, Caitlin Clark’s response to his post prompted an even cuter reaction. “Acting like y a T Swift fan tho is crazy , but I will let this slide hehe.” She commented under his post, responding with a lot of love and a lot of banter.
“I am for you.” The Butler assistant coach said, revealing his true motivation behind being a Swiftie. Even though McCaffery has since gone to T-Swift concerts and worn her merch, this post reminds us of how dedicated a boyfriend he truly is. He wants to partake in his girlfriend’s interests, and if that isn’t adorable, we don’t know what is!
