Rapper Travis Scott Celebrates Caitlin Clark’s Record-Breaking Performance at Carver-Hawkeye Arena
The Carver-Hawkeye Arena was filled with excitement and anticipation on Sunday as rapper Travis Scott made a special appearance to witness Caitlin Clark’s historic achievement. The music superstar was not only present to see Clark surpass Pete Maravich’s all-time NCAA basketball points record but also to soak in the electrifying atmosphere of the game.
Travis Scott, known for his hit songs like “Sicko Mode,” “I KNOW ?,” and “Goosebumps,” took to the court and even posed for photos with the team after the game. It was evident that Scott was thoroughly enjoying the action and the energy of the crowd.
In a video posted by NBC Sports on X, Scott expressed his admiration for Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes team. “We’re out here to come see CC handle business tonight,” he said. “You know Caitlin Clark, she’s one of the greatest humans of all time. So we’re out here to come see good Iowa basketball. Gabbie Marshall, Katie Martin, this is a good, good team out here. I’ve been in a lot of buildings but this Iowa energy is like no other.”
As Scott entered the arena, he was greeted with thunderous applause from the Hawkeyes fans who had gathered to witness Clark’s final regular season game and her record-breaking moment. Accompanied by a university police officer, Scott made his way to his courtside seat and took a moment to greet Kevin Miles, popularly known as “Jake from State Farm.”
Throughout the game, Scott was visibly engaged in the action on the court, fully immersed in the atmosphere created by the passionate crowd. Videos posted on X captured Scott dancing to the music played by the Iowa pep band and passionately reacting to the game. He even shared high-fives with the people sitting next to him, further fueling the excitement in the arena.
The historic moment came when Caitlin Clark stepped up to the free-throw line with just 0.3 seconds left in the second quarter of Iowa’s victory over Ohio State. Tying Pete Maravich’s record on her first free throw attempt, Clark made history with her second successful free throw, sending the arena into a frenzy of celebration.
Not only did Clark surpass Maravich’s record, but she also broke Lynette Woodward’s all-time women’s major college scoring record of 3,649 points. Although this record is not officially recognized by the NCAA, it further solidifies Clark’s place in basketball history.
The significance of this game had already caused ticket prices to skyrocket, surpassing the prices of any women’s college or WNBA game ever, as reported by ESPN. The combination of Travis Scott’s presence and Caitlin Clark’s record-breaking performance created an unforgettable experience for everyone in attendance.
Travis Scott summed up the energy and excitement of the night by saying, “I think they need to bottle this energy and bring it around the world.” The Carver-Hawkeye Arena was undoubtedly the place to be on that Sunday evening, witnessing history unfold and celebrating the remarkable achievements of Caitlin Clark.
