Taylor Swift Stands Up for Caitlin Clark After WNBA Eye-Poke Incident, Praises Sophie Cunningham’s Fierce Loyalty
June 18, 2025 – In a powerful display of solidarity, global pop icon Taylor Swift has voiced her unwavering support for Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark following a highly physical WNBA game against the Connecticut Sun on Tuesday night. The game, marked by a controversial eye-poke incident and subsequent altercations, saw Clark targeted by opponents, prompting Swift to call for better protection for the rookie sensation and heap praise on teammate Sophie Cunningham for her fierce defense.
A Physical Night in the WNBA
The Indiana Fever’s clash with the Connecticut Sun was anything but ordinary, as tensions flared in a game that saw multiple scuffles and three ejections. Early in the match, Caitlin Clark, the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year, was poked in the eye by Sun guard Jacy Sheldon, an incident that went uncalled by referees despite its flagrant nature. Later, Clark was shoved to the ground by Marina Mabrey, sparking outrage among fans and Fever players alike. The physicality escalated in the final minute when Fever guard Sophie Cunningham delivered a hard foul on Sheldon, retaliating for the earlier aggression toward Clark. The result? Cunningham, Sheldon, and Fever teammate Lindsay Allen were all ejected after a heated confrontation.
The lack of officiating to protect Clark drew sharp criticism from broadcasters, fans, and now, Taylor Swift, whose connection to Clark has grown through her vocal support for the Indiana Fever and the WNBA’s rising star.
Taylor Swift’s Heartfelt Message
Swift, a known advocate for fairness and a longtime supporter of women’s sports, took to social media to express her concern for Clark’s safety and commend the camaraderie within the Fever squad.
