Caitlin Clark Leads Celebs Backing Taylor Swift Endorsement

www.thedailybeast.com

A cavalcade of music, sports and acting icons, including Jennifer Aniston, Lady Gaga, and Michelle Pfeiffer, have lent their support to Swift’s late-night Harris-Walz endorsement.

Basketball star Caitlin Clark was one of the first celebs out of the gate to like Taylor Swift’s long-awaited endorsement of Kamala Harris on Tuesday night

The WNBA rookie was the toast of the right-wing media earlier this year after an on-court showdown with her old NCAA nemesis Angel Reese. Clark came out to denounce the likes of Fox News and Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy for using her as a pawn in the culture wars, saying it was “unacceptable,” but she has always kept quiet about her political affiliations until now.

The former Iowa Hawkeyes star is likely to have disappointed a legion of fans in deep red Indiana, where she plays for the Fever.

  Just a story about how much information metadata conveys.
  
  Her like was an endorsement, even if she didn’t make her own statement.
