Angel Reese, one of the most talked-about stars in the WNBA, is facing backlash from both Taylor Swift fans and some WNBA followers over an upcoming interview on her podcast, Unapologetically Angel. Reese has secured a major guest—Kayla Nicole, the ex-girlfriend of NFL star Travis Kelce, who is currently dating global pop sensation Taylor Swift.

This interview has already raised eyebrows, especially among Swift’s dedicated fanbase, the “Swifties.” Many are concerned that this discussion could reignite old controversies and shed an unwanted spotlight on Kelce and Swift’s relationship. The news has generated significant buzz, with Reese’s decision to bring Nicole on the podcast seen as a strategic move to garner attention and views. However, some fans argue that Reese is more focused on her media presence than her basketball career.

The podcast episode featuring Kayla Nicole, who dated Kelce from 2017 to 2022, is expected to dive into details about their past relationship, potentially stirring up fresh drama just as Kelce’s relationship with Swift is under intense media scrutiny. Nicole has largely stayed quiet about her time with Kelce, so this interview could mark a significant moment, giving her a platform to open up.

Meanwhile, Caitlin Clark continues to make headlines in a very different way. Fresh off her record-breaking rookie season in the WNBA, Clark is gearing up to participate in a high-profile golf tournament, the ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican. The event, taking place from November 11-17 at the Pelican Golf Club in Florida, will feature Clark in the Women’s Leadership Summit and a Pro-Am competition. Though the tournament isn’t currently scheduled for broadcast, it’s likely to draw significant attention given Clark’s popularity and the growing buzz around her appearances.

As the WNBA world debates the paths of these two athletes, the contrast between them couldn’t be more stark. While Reese is embroiled in media drama and high-profile interviews, Clark is quietly expanding her horizons into other sports, further solidifying her all-around talent and appeal.

With Reese’s upcoming podcast set to drop, the fallout could be significant, especially with Taylor Swift’s fanbase keeping a close watch. As for Clark, her golfing debut is another step in what appears to be a carefully curated, multifaceted career. Both athletes continue to dominate headlines, albeit for very different reasons.

Stay tuned as the WNBA off-season heats up, and drama from both the court and beyond keeps the spotlight firmly on Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark.
