Friendship Bracelets - CC

Pairing: Caitlin Clark x Reader

Summary: After getting out of a 2-year relationship, your friends encourage you to get back in the game by putting your phone number on some friendship bracelets for the Taylor Swift concert. You decided to make just one and that one ended up on the one and only Caitlin Clark.

Warnings: Swifties lol, this is like a major cliche but I do not care I am also going to change the order of the setlist to make this fic work better please don't come after me, cheating (not involving Caitlin)

AN: This is nothing other than a figment of my imagination.

2 years. 2 years down the drain. 2 years you gave to this guy only to be left heartbroken and angry.

It had been two weeks since you found out your long-term boyfriend had been cheating on you. Something was off with the two of you for a few months before you found out but when you did it all clicked. That was no excuse for what he did, it honestly only made you hate yourself for not ending it when things started to change.

When you found out, you left quietly.

He was expecting you to lash out and make a scene. He expected you to break things and hit him and show all signs of what he did had an effect on you, at least any sign that you were affected. You gave him none of that.

When you found out - you packed up your things while he was at work and left without as much as a note. He tried calling and texting you for the better part of a week before you finally decided to meet with him.

The two of you sat down at a local diner. You barely looked at him as he tried to come up with any sort of excuse. It was miserable. when you were done sitting there watching him struggle, you finally spoke.

"I don't want to hear any of it. All I want is an apology and I will be going my own way. That is the least you can do for throwing away the last five years," you say making direct eye contact with him now.

He sits there, speechless. He tries to find words and you sit there watching him try to form an apology. Before he can form any coherent response, you get up and walk out not wanting to give the man in front of you any more time.

The next week was a rough one for you. You were incredibly thankful that you have a solid group of friends who have been nothing but supportive. They watched over you like a hawk, making sure you were always with someone and were kept busy.

That leads you to sitting at your friend's kitchen table, listening to Tayor Swift, snacking on some Chick-fil-A all while making friendship bracelets for the concert you guys will be going to in a few days.

You are focused on getting the beads threaded on the string in front of you when your friend hits your elbow causing you to spill all the beads you just put on.

"Cas! I was just about to finish this one," you say frustrated as you are on bracelet 20. Your friends told you you had to make 50 before you could even think about leaving the table. You gather the beads you were just using and begin to start making it again.

"I'm sorry!" She says as she grabs a nugget. One of your other friends chimes in after looking at your pile of bracelets.

"You know, it might not be the worst idea to put your number on some of those bracelets." She says as if you didn't just get out of a long-term relationship. You just give her a look.

"This could be good!" Another one of your friends yells as she points at you. "You will be in a stadium full of girls, singing their heart out to Taylor Swift - it has been a minute since you've been on the fun side." She says referring to your last relationship being Jacob, before him, you were dating a girl and were so much freer.

"Guys, it has literally been 2 weeks. It hasn't even been a month since I have been single. Let a girl heal," you say getting annoyed at your friends.

"Come on, it doesn't have to be serious. This could be a good distraction for you!" One friend says. Another pitches in, "Ya! That's actually a good idea, just something fun, a little distraction!"

"I am not going to put my number on a beaded bracelet," you say. "That seems desperate and I am not desperate, I am healing," You whisper the last part.

"Come on, just a few." You are now being passed the number beads. You make no move to grab them.

You know your friends mean well but this was a little much. They were lucky you were even going - the thought of going to a TSwift concert right after a breakup is daunting.

"No." Is all you say.

"Yes, you are going to make a few, you don't have to give them out if you don't want but if you make them then at least you have the option." One of your friends says.

"Fine, I will make ONE that has my number," you say so they would all shut up. "But I have no plans of handing it out."

The rest of the night is spent finishing up the bracelets. You made so many bracelets, you felt like your fingers were going to fall off.

The day of the concert is pure chaos. Your friends wanted to get there like 10 hours early to get in line for merch and make sure you have plenty of time to take photos. You follow along with your friends, letting them do whatever they want before the concert starts. YOu are a Taylor fan, but not nearly as much as they are.

Once you all make your way to your seats you are on the end of your group of friends. The group of girls next to you is already sitting. You take a seat next to a girl in a light sage dress. You say a quick hello as you get yourself situated.

Part of your group decides to go grab drinks and snacks while you opt to stay and watch over everyone's stuff. You tell them to grab you a drink and whatever looks good.

You sit there looking around at all the girls wearing their Taylor themes outfits and getting to have the time of their lives. Meanwhile, you are just trying to survive the night.

"Hey, I dropped my chapstick, would you mind grabbing it?" The girl next to you says.

"Ya, no problem," you say and lean down and grab the little stick that made its way under your legs. You pass it to the girl next to you who you notice is now alone. "You're friends also head to get snacks?"

"Restroom," she says with a little laugh. "Yours go to get snacks?"

You nodd also letting out a little laugh. "Can't leave the stuff alone."

You introduce yourself as you are about to be screaming song lyrics right next to this girl all night.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Caitlin," she says.

The two of you enter into some small talk and learn you both attend the same school. It is big enough that it doesn't surprise you that you haven't seen each other before. What once started as small talk, turns into talking life. She tells you how there are some big decisions that she is going to have to make coming up - she keeps it pretty vague but mentions it has to do with her career. You mention your recent breakup and how you the guy cheated. Her hand comes to yours as she apologizes that you had to go through that. You give her a small smile and tell her it was for the better.

She sat there listening to the most beautiful girl in the world talk about how someone treated you like trash. All she wanted to do was hold you and show you what love really is. It seems cliche that she is having all these thoughts at concert with a girl she just met but they way you talked about life had her thinking anything is possible.

The conversation continues as you talk about growing up and how you both chose to go to Iowa for school. You learn she plays basketball and you tell her you dance. She slides the comment of how you should come to one of her games. Of course, you say yes, not thinking anything of it.

Both of your groups of friends get back around the same time and you both turn back to conversations with them.

When the concert starts you get mesmerized by the performance. Everyone is standing and singing along to all of the songs.

The first time you cry is when Taylor sings The Archer. You try to hide it to the best of your ability. Your friends are too into the concert to notice which you are thankful for but as your arms wrap around yourself to provide any sort of comfort, you feel a hand come up and give your arm a little squeeze. You look over to see Caitlin's hand on your arm, rubbing it with her thumb. The part of you that once felt so empty, is now a little fuller.

Neither of you say anything about the little moment. You both just continue to enjoy the concert.

It is during Cruel Summer that you are back screaming at the top of your lungs. When Taylor gets to the bridge you grab Caitlin's hand and use it as a microphone, pretending you are on stage. She just laughs at you and takes in the sight of you living your best life. At the end of the song you pull her in so you can say something.

"I would apologize but I am not sorry at all," you say with a laugh. She leans over to your ear.

"Please never even think about apologizing for that," is what she says with a little wink. You just look at her and shake your head with a smile.

The night continues with you singing with your friends, both the ones you came with and the new ones you met at the concert.

The next time you cry is during Tolerate It, your friend that you came with brings you into her side and just holds you. While she is holding you, you feel a hand come and take yours, intertwining your fingers and giving your hand a squeeze while rubbing her thumb against your skin.

You don't know what it is about the girl but her comfort is one that you haven't felt in a while. It is peaceful, not forced. She brings a calmness to you and you haven't known her for more than 2 hours. Anyone else would be mortified with your sea of emotions - going from screaming at the top of your lungs to sobbing about your cheating ex-boyfriend but not her. She has embraced it all and continues to embrace it.

It is during You Belong With Me that you notice she is looking at you more than usual. You decide to sing it with her and turn to her during one of the verses. By the time the chorus comes around, she is singing it right to you. You sing along trying to not let the words of the song cut too deep.

She is the one to grab your hand during this song and belt out the words to the bridge. You just watch her in awe, seeing her let loose for what you feel like the first time this evening.

At the end of the song, you put your hand on her shoulder to help steady yourself as you reach up to whisper in her ear, "That was adorable, carefree looks good on you."

She leans back down to you, "You make it easy."

The rest of the night is filled with singing your heart out and making little comments here and there to the girl next to you.

One of Taylor's final songs is one that you have been waiting to hear all night, Enchanted. She does a beautiful acoustic version that has you whispering it along with her. You don't know when it happens but Caitlin takes hold of your arm and turns you to face her. Caitlin is now singing with you (to you). You can't take your eyes off of hers as her hand doesn't leave you. Caitlin, in nothing above a whisper, is singing the bridge of the song hoping that you know she is not just singing the song but means every word.

"Please don't be in love with someone else, please don't have somebody waiting on you." She sings looking right into your eyes.

Who in the world would have imagined this, a beautiful girl singing Taylor songs to you at a Taylor concert. Picking up the pieces of your heart all while only knowing you for less than a day.

When the song comes to an end, you don't know what overcomes you but you bring your hand up to her cheek and just stroke her cheek with your thumb. You then bend down and grab your bag, looking for something that you buried it in before the concert.

You find what you are looking for and give it one look before grabbing Caitlin's wrist and putting the bracelet on her. She gives you a slightly confused look, not understanding why you pulled the bracelet out of the bag and didn't take it off your wrist like you had with all the other girls around you.

You give a nod down for her to look at it and she does. When she sees the bracelet you gave her contains 10 digits on it, she instantly smiles.

The concert comes to an end and everyone begins clearing the stadium. You say goodbye to your new friends, making sure Caitlin is the last of them.

When saying bye, you bring her into a hug.

"I am not ready to jump into anything, but you are truly incredible and I would love to get to know you more. I only made one of those bracelets and wasn't planning on handing it out but you are something special." You say and begin to release her. She doesn't let go of you but rather squeezes you tighter.

"You are worth waiting for," she says, and your heart rate increases. "I will take it as slow as you need.'"

She releases you and you just smile at her.

This night marks a new beginning, one that you can't want to dive into.

AN: Yes, there will eventually be a part two. No, I do not know when. But I promise it will come. Let me know what you think! And as always, thank you for the love and support 🤍

[bisluthq]

we’re just… into Taylor Swift (unironically mostly but it’s embarrassing) and a lot of dumb crap (but privately hence going to the internet with it and not launching into tirades about it irl). //

I was chatting with a coworker a couple weeks ago and the music topic came up, I mentioned I had a concert coming up and he was like "Oh really, what are you seeing?" the second I mentioned Tayor Swift the man just goes "Oh... 🤨🤔🤨🤨 Didn't take you for a Taylor Swift girl..." and just walked away... I went RED in the face it was so awkward

it’s soooo embarrassing. I was at this girls’ night recently (which will go down in infamy in my personal history because that’s when my bf had a girl sit on his lap and offer to suck his dick but I was eating sushi and chatting elsewhere) and we spoke about like the great poetic lyricists like Cohen and Dylan and Rodrigo (not Olivia the Sugarman one) and the host kept asking me to tell everyone about all these men because I know so much and I did and I quoted and shit and then I thought it was safe to be like “and besties yk how Taylor Swift is as good as them” and they didn’t take it well 🥲🥲 so I played like Champagne Problems - for the storytelling - and this one girl who was there was like “oh who’d she do this to” and I was like “no one???? That’s not how stories work??? Do you think Leonard literally transformed into a bird on a wire?????????” Anyway 🙄🙄🙄

everyone knows I love her but I don’t think they fully know how much I love her or that it’s 70% of what I listen to and I think some people think I’m actually trying to be quirky and cute by saying I love her idk. Loving Taylor as like a pretentious bitch is very hard.

Also fuck Matty for dipping because a 75 collab would’ve helped the street cred in my regular streets tbh.

I'm watching the reputation stadium tour on Netflix. I've never seen it before.

I am unwell.

I've already cried twice and it's not over yet

[candlelightdreaming]

So with all the talk about how the City of Lover concert is primarily for press and influencers, here is an example of why getting influencers to go to concerts can be extremely detrimental...

This was at Taylor’s Brisbane Rep concert - this influencer was invited and he spent the whole night shouting insults and cursing Taylor the whole time, drunk off his face. Literally calling Taylor a ‘sack of shit’ in this clip. This is also just one clip out of many more, some even worse.

I work in marketing so I get how valuable influencers can be, but surely Taylor doesn’t really need the extra promotion? The concert should at least be 70% fans.

Just my thoughts..

@taylorswift @taylornation

[hopeinflowers]

What I love about the jingle ball was seeing all of @taylorswift ‘s fans. REP sweatshirts, snakes, killer black outfits. This is Taylor’s world and the rest of us are just living in it. 🔥

[chitowntay2244]

Already preparing for Taylor's concert... Why am I the only die-hard Swiftie I am friends with?? THIS TEXT EXCHANGE IS MY ENTIRE LIFE!!! I need a Concert buddy!!! @taylorswift

[papersrings]

does taylor know how lucky she is? she gets to go to every taylor swift concert, she always has a secret session invite, she wakes up and she sees taylor swift in the mirror and she even knows tayor swift’s phone number this is so rude

[sophisticatedswifts]

I found an article from 2011 that’s the most ridiculous article I’ve ever read.

The reasons the writer lists for wishing she had never taken her kids to see Taylor in the article are the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen. Her excuses consist of:

There was an area for makeovers so that means Taylor’s telling children they have to wear makeup to be beautiful (or maybe children just like makeup... did you ever think of that?)

Too many hair flips (yes, that’s a complaint. It’s Taylor, what did she expect?)

Taylor stood there and beamed at the crowd, amazed by it (again, I’m not really seeing a fault here)

There was too much sparkle (what??)

It was as though she was singing to every individual person there (how is that a bad thing?)

Taylor didn’t use this platform to say “girls rock!” or “love yourself!” and instead told the crowd how beautiful they are. (Is anyone else seeing the hypocrisy here?? What is the woman complaining about?)

Tayor’s dresses and speeches and the atmosphere took away from the girl power. (What is she talking about? I’m so lost.)

Then there’s this line that kind of creeps me out but I’ll let you guys dissect it on your own: “The best moments were rare authentic ones with Swift’s top lip a wee bit sweaty, hair oh-so-slightly disheveled...”

Okay I said I wouldn’t dissect the last one but is no one else creeped out by the fact that this woman’s favorite part of the concert being Taylor’s sweaty lips and messy hair? That’s really weird.

She literally says in the article that it would be better to explain to your children what Lady Gaga’s lyrics about sex mean than to take them to a Taylor Swift concert because she doesn’t specifically endorse women’s empowerment at her concert. (Why? Just why? I don’t understand this one bit.)

Anyway, the whole thing was absolutely ridiculous. I really don’t understand people sometimes. If anyone wants the link to the article, let me know.

[gazelessstare]

The Loïe Fuller nod during Dress is the boldest thing Taylor does on tour yet NO ONE talks about it!!! She put it there for all to see for a reason. This + the numerous rainbow clothes + the rep prologue + the WHOLE album... So many facts that swifties purposely ignore... "I screamed so loud but no one heard a thing" really conveys the feeling of this era.

It is. And for those who somehow missed that reference and want to read more about it check @femmetay​ elaborate post regarding this  kdl

IMO, she is adopting 2 complementary strategies, on the one hand she is being her quirky self talking rainbows and unicorns everywhere (but somehow fans do not find this weird during her darkest era, stylistically) and on the other hands she is being very bold in her non-verbal statements; picking 3-4 pieces from Ashish Gupta political collection and then this? The Full blown homage to Loïe Fuller is beyond what I could have imagined this tour. It is screaming to be noticed in it sublime composition and deep meaning. With a side hint to a winged angel in her life (:

As for the REP Prologue I will be using it as a counter argument each time someone brings back that infamous 25th birthday tweet; It will be 2014 Taylor Swift™ words vs 2017 Taylor Swift words. 

As to how and why the Dress Serpentine dance did not get the attention it deserves it is because of a simple reason, people were not looking for this information. But I am sure that at least LGBT fans who know about Fuller or got curious about her after this, read into it, they will at least pause for a moment and question Taylor’s choice here because it is even more intentional and reflective about what she is trying to convey than the rainbow overload.

During this weekend, a lot of people form the entertainment industry are going to attend the show. A whole bunch of them are LGBT. 2 of them, writers, interest me specifically, Jill Gutowitz (huge swiftie, lesbian, and she was the one who gave us the epic Bad Blood meldown during which she found no other words to describe Tayor and Karlie’s scenes than GAY) and Ira Madison (Gay, love tay hates swiftie culture, and very outspoken) Now I am not saying I think they will be tweeting that Taylor is gay, but I’d like to see what their impression is gonna be beyond one that comes from a regular concert goer. So I am gonna stay tuned.

As for the album itself, 6 months after it dropped, there is little to no doubt who its muse is at this point. I’m gonna quote what @kaylorrepdetective told me today: “I think this is why I haven’t been posting much. I mean, I’m done. It’s all out there. There’s nothing more to say“

[cvackie]

This was the first time I saw Tayor Swift after being fan for almost 10 years. She and her songs was there with me always through worse and also better times. And if there was nobody else in the moment to talk I just always could open her song diary and sing with her and shake everything off. She inspired me so much that from money from my first part time job I bought my first guitar.  These are only some of things why I love her so much. Before Reputation tour as a student I have never had enough money to go to concert and travel to another country, but when was 1989 tour I told to myself next time I will do everything to get somewhere to concert. And finally when Reputation tour comes to Wembley with help of my fiancé I finally did. We travelled about 2000 kilometers and I had the time of my life. I knew that one day I will see Taylor but I have never expected that it will be in London ! in Wembley! I will be so near to her that I can see her face! and that it will be her first own concert in Wembley! Absolutely dream came true!!! I was so happy and so in shock I almost forgot to sing, dance and even talk. And I can't also sing because of that I would cry more and more. I almost can't believe I was there but I really was and it was the BEST. I will never forget this and I will always remeber that magical moment when through Taylor's first concert in Wembley we were screaming like about 3 minutes and holding signs with word "proud" above our heads". It was so magical I can't even say. Thank you Taylor for 22nd June 2018 in Wembley. It was magical:) and hat on my head is snake :D :) and I just want to add that her mum waved me back :))))))))))))))))))))))) happyyyyyyyyyyyyy
