KANSAS CITY, MO – It was supposed to be just another fun episode of New Heights, the hit podcast hosted by NFL star Travis Kelce and his brother Jason. But when Taylor Swift suddenly popped up on screen as a surprise guest, two of women’s basketball’s biggest stars — Caitlin Clark and Elizabeth Kitley — had reactions that sent fans into a frenzy.
Both players, longtime Swifties, happened to be watching the livestream together. The moment Taylor’s face appeared, Clark reportedly gasped, covered her mouth, and blurted out:
“I’m throwing up — I can’t handle this!”
Kitley, equally stunned, yelled, “Is this real life right now?!” before grabbing her phone to start recording the moment for her Instagram story.
Within minutes, the clip of their reaction went viral, racking up hundreds of thousands of views on TikTok and Instagram Reels. Fans flooded the comments with laughing emojis and “same energy” posts, while Swifties welcomed the WNBA duo into the “we’re losing our minds” club.
On the podcast, 
Taylor kept things casual, chatting with the Kelce brothers about touring, football, and her famous Eras Tour afterparty snacks — much to the delight of Clark and Kitley, who later posted matching selfies captioned “We survived… barely.”
It’s the latest crossover moment between sports and pop culture that proves one thing: whether it’s on the court or in the charts, star power recognizes star power. And for Caitlin Clark and Elizabeth Kitley, this might just be the ultimate fangirl experience of 2025.
