Taylor Swift<\/a> and Caitlin Clark<\/a> have maintained a strong friendship<\/a>, but beyond it, they share a comparable\u00a0 level of professionalism.<\/p>\n

This was personally witnessed by Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White, who recently made a headline-grabbing comparison between the two.<\/p>\n

In a teaser shared by Bird\u2019s Eye View hosted by WNBA icon Sue Bird, the 48-year-old head coach revealed what she admired the most about the Fever guard.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Caitlin, you know she\u2019s a hard worker because of what she\u2019s been able to accomplish,\u201d she told the former basketball superstar during her guest appearance on the podcast. \u201cBut until you see that there is no wasted movements, no wasted reps, no wasted anything, you just have such level of respect for how she goes about her work every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moreover, White also pointed out her similarities to the pop star, noting that both are constantly in the public eye, facing huge expectations yet they manage to stay focused and excel in their respective fields.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnderstanding the spotlight that she\u2019s on, understanding the weight that she carries because of who she is, she\u2019s literally like Taylor Swift 2.0,\u201d she continued, adding, \u201cSomehow, she\u2019s able to compartmentalize and come to the gym, get everything that she has to get done. She\u2019s off doing everything all the time. But when she\u2019s there, she\u2019s working.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to White, her former coach at the Iowa Hawkeyes echoed the same praise for the WNBA star.<\/p>\n

Lisa Bluder, the former head coach at the University of Iowa, emphasized the 23-year-old\u2019s eagerness to learn and her drive to become the best player she could be.<\/p>\n

\u201cCaitlin wanted to be her best,\u201d she told Elise Devlin of The Athletic<\/a>. \u201cShe wanted to be coached, as well as any of the really good players that I\u2019ve been around. Every one of them, they weren\u2019t know-it-alls. They knew they could get better and continued to get better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like Clark, the \u201cBad Blood\u201d hitmaker also possesses grit and drive, which are evident in her numerous chart-topping albums and record-breaking achievements.<\/p>\n

This was proven during the Netflix<\/a> documentary Miss Americana, when the music<\/a> sensation was told that her album Reputation received no nominations in the four major Grammy categories.<\/p>\n

However, instead of getting discouraged, she responded, \u201cI just have to make a better record.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lo and behold, she not only delivered award-winning albums \u2013 from Lover, Folklore, Evermore, Midnights, The Tortured Poets Department and her most recent The Life of a Showgirl but also delivered the highest-grossing concert tour of all time<\/a> during The Eras Tour.<\/p>\n
