Caitlin Clark reveals what she told Taylor Swift when they watched Travis Kelce and the Chiefs play
Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark opened up about a famous photo that she took while watching her favorite football team alongside arguably the biggest pop star in the world. Earlier this year, Clark was spotted alongside pop icon Taylor Swift as the 'Cruel Summer' singer watched her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, play for the Kansas City Chiefs. Clark and Swift cheered on as the Chiefs beat the Houston Texans in the AFC Divisional round back in January. Months later, Clark attended a live taping at WNBA All-Star weekend of the 'A Touch More' podcast - hosted by sports power couple Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe. Bird, a women's basketball icon, and Rapinoe, a women's soccer idol, asked Clark to spill the details about their conversation in the luxury suites at Arrowhead Stadium. Clark said that the photo captured a moment where Swift was asking her for an explanation about a penalty call. Caitlin is asked what she and Taylor talked about lmfao 'Honestly I love football and I know a lot about football. So I was like telling her why they threw a flag. But in the best way I don't even know everything. So I was just explaining things but yeah that was really fun.' — correlation (@nosyone4) July 21, 2025 'Honestly I love football and I know a lot about football. So I was like telling her why they threw a flag,' Clark told Bird and Rapinoe. 'But in the best way I don't even know everything. So I was just explaining things but yeah that was really fun.' 'I'm a big Chiefs fan, so getting to spend time with Taylor and then also Travis played really well that game, the Chiefs won, it was the playoffs.' Kansas City would eventually reach Super Bowl LIX, where they were decimated by the Philadelphia Eagles. Clark has been dealing with a nagging groin injury which kept her out for five games in recent weeks. Before the All-Star Game, the injury flared back up and kept her out of the festivities in Indianapolis.

Watch the awkward moment Sir Alex Ferguson gatecrashes Rio Ferdinand and Michael Carrick podcast recording - before legendary Man United boss makes firm demand to former stars
Rio Ferdinand has shared the moment his former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson awkwardly gatecrashed the recording of his latest podcast. Ferdinand posted footage of him in conversation with his ex-Man United team-mate Michael Carrick, who has since embarked on a career in management. The clip showed the pair mid discussion, before Ferguson appeared in the background of the restaurant where they had set up to record. 'What's this,' Ferguson said upon seeing his former stars and the set-up to record the podcast, which is also part of Ferdinand's YouTube channel. Ferdinand and Carrick both immediately respond 'alright boss', before Ferguson quickly issues a demand to the duo. 'I'm not doing this podcast,' Ferguson responds. When the Boss (Sir Alex) walks in & interrupts your recording… wait till the end when his phone rings 😂 Even after 12 years, we still can't find the courage to tell him off!! Rio Meets Michael Carrick 👌🏽 — Rio Ferdinand (@rioferdy5) July 21, 2025 Ferdinand and Carrick were quick to reassure the 83-year-old, who has spoken infrequently since retiring in 2013, that the cameras were not there for him. 'No, no, no. We're going to talk after. You go and get a coffee, boss,' Ferdinand said. 'No, we're just finishing now,' Carrick adds, with Ferguson replying 'Oh, you're just finishing?' Carrick replied: 'Yeah, don't worry, this is not for you.' The pair continued to reassure the 13-time Premier League winning boss, with Ferdinand saying 'We're going to get a bit of food with you after. You've not dressed for the camera, boss, have you? You've not dressed up for the cameras.' 'Have a quick coffee, boss, and we'll be with you in a sec,' Carrick continued. 'Did you think this was for you? Ferguson offered a cheeky comment two his former Man United stars as he walked away to find a seat. 'I'll go sit over here, I just want to listen to the nonsense that you talk,' Ferguson said. Ferguson would ultimately interrupt the podcast recording again, with Ferdinand's clip revealing that five minutes later the former manager's phone loudly rang as they continued to record. 'It's fine, it's the gaffer, we've just got to get on with it,' Ferdinand declares when Carrick asks whether they need to record the section of the podcast again. Carrick and Ferdinand's reverence to Ferguson comes with the pair having won five and six Premier League titles respectively under his management at Man United. The pair were part of Man United's 2008 Champions League winning side, as well claiming two League Cups under his management. Ferguson has also been known to have passed on advice to his former players who have moved into management, with may have been a topic broached during their subsequent meal. Carrick had served as manager of Middlesbrough from October 2022 until his sacking back in June. He had guided the club to the Championship play-offs in his first campaign but suffered defeat in the semi-finals, before eighth and 10th place finished in his next two seasons in charge. Ferdinand's podcast with Carrick had included a discussion about Ferguson's impact on his career, as well as his time as a coach at Man United under Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjær.

'Rashford's United exit leaves unanswered questions'
In this modern world, where image means so much, the post uploaded onto Marcus Rashford's social media feed on Sunday was was on a private plane, heading to Barcelona, playing cards with his brothers Dane and he shuffled the deck, one card was shown, half turned over. The ace of this was deliberate. The card itself is positive, symbolic. More impactful than, say, the three of diamonds or six of it also captured the sentiment of genuine affection around the those inside Old Trafford, who have known for so long there was no chance of a return, no possibility of Ruben Amorim's arm being placed round his shoulders as he was ushered back into the fold, privately wish Rashford well and hope he makes a success of it at the Nou know the striker needs a spark that will return him to the levels he is capable of and that just wasn't going to happen at the club he supported as a boy and joined as a were flashes of it during his half season on loan at Aston Villa in 2024-25 but the consistency was still missing. Rashford was looking at alternatives anyway but it is not certain Villa manager Unai Emery would have tried to sign the forward permanently, even if the Spaniard's side had qualified for the Champions is a completely different level. They are the club Rashford has had at the top of his wishlist for two seasons. If he cannot be motivated to play alongside Robert Lewandowski or driven by the challenge of lining up with Lamine Yamal, who has emerged as a teenager on an even higher trajectory than Rashford did himself a decade ago, then major questions will be asked about his career as a whole. Rashford move 'very good business' for Barca Some have asked why Barca would want Rashford in the first stripped back, they have cut a really good tried, and failed, to sign Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao in the summer, they needed to strengthen their attacking positions. Aside from a now 36-year-old Lewandowski and Yamal, who is half his age, Hansi Flick only has Brazilian Raphinha and former Manchester City forward Ferran Torres to choose knew from past discussions with Rashford's familythat the player was keen to join them, as he said earlier this summer in an interview with Spanish influencer Javi Ruiz."Everyone wants to play with the best," he said. "Hopefully... We'll see."This followed comments from Barca's sporting director Deco, who had said how much the club liked him, and Liverpool's Luis Diaz."When we go to the market, there are names that we know and that could improve the team," he told Catalan radio station RAC1 in May."We like Luis, we like Rashford and we like other players," he structure of the deal suits club's once perilous financial position, though improved, is not perfect - it is unlikely they will be in a position to register Rashford immediately, although that will not stop him from training or playing in non-competitive would clear him to be part of this month's three-match tour of Japan and South Korea, which includes a game against K League outfit FC Seoul, who, ironically, include Rashford's former team-mate and close friend Jesse Lingard in their that backdrop, a loan that contains an option, not an obligation, to buy, with the fee set at €35m (£30.3m) represents very good Rashford does well and gets close to the levels that earned him his current £325,000-a-week contract in the first place, he would be worth far more than the sum Barcelona would have to pay for someone who would then still only be 28. If he doesn't succeed, they can just send him back to Old Trafford. There wouldn't even be the need for the penalty clause Chelsea had to pay to get out of signing Jadon Sancho this United, there is a benefit club's hope will be that they and Amorim will be able to move on and construct their own future without repeated questions about a player who, in reality, has had one outstanding season in his last five. Even club legends such as Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs have said it is probably now time for Rashford to try something new. 'A move that brings a sense of sadness' Rashford clearly still has a lot of friends at Old Trafford, and not just Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrrell Malacia, who were also told by Amorim they must train at times when the main group are not even at Carrington. Plenty of his former colleagues in the current United squad liked his post from the private there is a delicate path to about Rashford's impending exit after the 0-0 draw with Leeds in Stockholm on 19 July, Amad Diallo dealt with the matter brilliantly."The only thing I can say is good luck to him but I'm more focused on United and my team," said the leave for their three-match pre-season trip to the United States on Tuesday. Amorim is not due to speak to the media until Friday, two days after Rashford's planned unveiling by chances are the Portuguese manager will be asked to respond to the move and whatever Rashford has said about it but after that he should be able to deal with the more important issue of turning Manchester United into a winning team though a parting of the ways has been inevitable for some time, there is a sense of sadness that a club which prides itself on bringing players through its youth system should have found itself in a situation where it is compliant in the exit of the 15th highest all-time scorer - 138 - and 23rd highest appearance his age, Rashford could comfortably have made the top 10 in both lists and deservedly been the recipient of legendary United that accolade is in doubt from both sides. 'A relationship beyond repair' Clearly, the player does not think he has been treated well - and that Amorim is not solely responsible for this. The feeling of those close to him is that ties at United have been severed and relationships cannot be a club perspective, that ill-fated trip to Belfast in January last year, which Rashford extended without permission, visited nightspots on two consecutive nights and was then late for training, is viewed as a lack of commitment that subsequent performances on the pitch did little to Rashford scored the first goal of Amorim's reign, in his opening game at Ipswich Town in November, within a month the Portuguese reasoned the player's attitude was it suits United for Rashford not to be on the scene given his huge salary and a strong desire to drive down the overall wage bill at the loss-making the nagging feeling persists there is more to this situation, some kind of smoking gun to explain how it all ended like Ferdinand thinks that, as he articulated on his You Tube channel."There must have been so much going on behind the scenes that we're just not aware of," the six-time Premier League winner said. "And Marcus isn't someone who really wants to talk and do interviews, so you have to respect that. But I'm sure it'll come out in the wash at some point."Is it because of a lack of form? A lack of confidence? Mismanagement? Have the club failed him? Or is it down to him? Is there injuries we don't know about? Has he lost that desire? That form has gone and he can't rekindle it?"What are the issues that have led to a young kid that's a graduate of the academy at Manchester United, which is famous for all of the great players that have come through there, [saying] he wants to leave?"Or is it the manager saying he is going to put a marker down with one of the biggest players at the club? There are a lot of unanswered questions."It might be a while before we get them.
