Caitlin Clark clicked the ‘like’ button on Instagram, and in doing so, the WNBA rookie sensation appears to have divided her massive fan base.

The issue began after Tuesday’s presidential debate, when Taylor Swift voiced her support for Vice President Kamala Harris‘ Oval office bid on Instagram while urging her own followers to register to vote.

Clark subsequently hit the ‘heart’ icon under Swift’s post, and has since been dragged by her more conservative followers.

‘You just couldn’t keep your politics out of sports!’ an angry fan wrote on one of Clark’s weeks-old Instagram posts. ‘You have just lost millions of supporters!! #Trump 2024.’

Several responders accused Clark of supporting trans women in female sports.

‘You’re a female athlete!!’ one woman wrote on Instagram. ‘Why would you support a party that are (sic) allowing men to play in women’s sports?’

Taylor Swift spoke, and millions of individuals took notice.

Swift Tuesday posted on Instagram her official endorsement of Kamala Harris as the next president following the debate with former President Donald Trump.

It was an announcement so highly anticipated that it garnered over one million likes in 13 minutes, with 10 million on the horizon.

Among the millions of likes fans observed was WNBA star Caitlin Clark, the 22-year-old who is making major waves in women’s sports and the sporting spectrum in general.

Clark on Wednesday explained why she liked Swift’s endorsement, citing the need to bolster her own platform for political awareness.

“I have this amazing platform, so I think the biggest thing would be to encourage people to register to vote,” Clark said. “…I think that’s the biggest thing I can do with the platform that I have and that’s the same thing Taylor did.

“And I think continue to educate yourself with the candidates that we have, the policies that they’re supporting…that’s what I would recommend to every single person that has that opportunity in our country.”

Clark did not outright endorse either candidate when asked in the same question.

Along with her post, Swift also shared a link to a government website that directs users to state-specific voting information, which saw at least 337,000 people visit it.
