Paying homage to Caitlin Clark after she was drafted by the Indiana Fever, Tim McGraw wore her WNBA jersey at his concert in Indianapolis this week.
At his Indianapolis concert on Thursday, Tim McGraw paid tribute to the city's newest star. The Indiana Fever selected Caitlin Clark with the first pick in the WNBA Draft on Monday, automatically making her one of the biggest athletes in the area. Three days later, McGraw was in town for his Standing Room Only Tour, and he took the stage with Clark's jersey.
We like it, we love it,' the Fever’s X account posted Thursday with a nod to McGraw’s song, 'I Like It, I Love It.' McGraw was pretty lucky to get a jersey, considering most sizes of Clark's jersey were sold out on Fanatics within an hour. Seeing the Fever own the top pick, Clark was excited, knowing she had the opportunity to stay relatively close to home. 'Obviously, I’m a Midwest girl, I’m from Iowa.
