Taylor Swift's online support for Kamala Harris' presidential run has gained the approval of WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark.

In an Instagram post published after Tuesday's debate between Harris and Donald Trump, the pop star girlfriend of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce announced she will be voting for the current Vice President rather than her Republican challenger.

Now Clark has 'liked' Swift's post, potentially indicating that the former Iowa star will be putting her support behind Harris as well.

If that is the case, Clark's army of conservative fans could be disappointed in her decision. The 22-year-old Rookie of the Year favorite has been championed by many Trump supporters, including Barstool Sports' Dave Portnoy and podcaster Jason Whitlock.  

However, Clark's apparent preference for Harris is not a complete surprise, given that her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, has previously penned supportive messages for the Vice President on Instagram.

But until now, Clark had not said much publicly about politics, despite becoming a regular topic in conservative media and partisan cable news channels. 

For example, Whitlock and Outlook's Clay Travis have repeatedly claimed that Clark is the victim of anti-white, anti-Christian and anti-heterosexual biases. 

Clark, however, has resisted the public debates.  

When asked earlier this summer about becoming a subject in the culture wars, Clark told reporters that she focuses her attention on basketball. 

'It's not something I can control,' she told reporters in June. 'I don't put too much thought and time into thinking about things like that. To be honest, I don't see a lot of it.

'Like I've said, basketball's my job. Everything on the outside, I can't control that, so I'm not going to spend time thinking about that. People can talk about what they want to talk about, create conversations about whatever it is, but I think for myself, 

Clark's 'like' of Swift's post follows a similarly consequential move by Brittany Mahomes, Swift's friend and the quarterback of Chiefs quarterback Patrick. 

Last month, Brittany liked a post supporting Trump's 20-point platform, leading to days of criticism from liberals and support from conservatives.
