For at least one night, Caitlin Clark wasn’t the face of the WNBA; she was in full Swiftie mode. The reigning WNBA rookie of the year was tuned in to watch Taylor Swift’s debut appearance on a podcast. Obviously, since the podcast was Travis Kelce and his brother Jason’s New Heights, it’s not all that surprising.
Even less surprising was the fact that Swift’s impressive fanbase showed up in full force, with 1.3 million people tuned into the livestream at one. Roughly an hour and 45 minutes into the in-depth conversation featuring the Kelce brothers and Swift, though, the stream went dark.
The New Heights X account posted they had “hit a glitch but will be back shortly.” Not long after came their great response to the situation.
Caitlin Clark Can See the Future, Had a Perfect Reaction to Taylor Swift’s ‘New Heights’ Episode Crashing
While the Swifties and followers of the New Heights podcast may have brought such a crowd that it caused a bit of a technical error, Clark impressively made that prediction earlier in the day on Wednesday, Aug. 13.
“Are we sure YouTube isn’t going to crash tonight?” Clark joked.
In perfect fashion, after the livestream went down, Clark then quote-tweeted her initial prediction while giving a tip of the cap to fellow Swifties.
“Swifties so powerful we broke the internet,” Clark said.
So once again, here’s the proof that Clark was just another Swiftie on Wednesday night and surely loved the detailed conversation with Swift about everything from her new album, Swift and Kelce’s relationship, football and much more.
Even Jason Kelce Couldn’t Believe the Turnout for Taylor Swift’s ‘New Heights’ Episode
While it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that Swift’s fans poured in to watch her podcast debut, the incredible turnout did leave Jason Kelce in a bit of shock.
The former Philadelphia Eagles seven-time Pro-Bowler posted on X during the show, admitting his own shock before the number of viewers even hit one million.
“Oh my God, there’s already 976k watching this live, what in the actual f—,” Kelce posted.
Roughly 19 minutes later, Kelce posted again, quote-tweeting his original message, stating “1.2M” with three exploding-head emojis.
Jason had one more viewer update when the number hit 1.3 million.
Although Kelce had to expect a big turnout, it apparently even exceeded his own expectations for Swift’s episode of the podcast. Not surprisingly, for one of the most beloved podcasts, featuring a guest who’s one of the world’s most popular names, Wednesday’s New Heights episode didn’t disappoint.
