When you think Tim McGraw, I hope you think of Caitlin Clark. The country superstar made the best wardrobe decision at his concert in Des Moines, Iowa, on Thursday night, pulling up to the stage in a No. 22 jersey in honor of the University of Iowa basketball star.
Pairing the jersey with jeans and one of his signature cowboy hats, the “Please Remember Me” singer gestured to his outfit and told the crowd at Wells Fargo Arena, “Gotta represent!”
“Girl power!” he added as fans cheered.
McGraw also shared a photo of his sporty look on X, formerly Twitter. “When in Iowa…. Had to represent!” he wrote. “Big year for @CaitlinClark22 and @IowaWBB.”
The three-time Grammy winner is currently on his Standing Room Only Tour — featuring special guest Carly Pearce — in support of his August 2023 album of the same name, which bowed at No. 75 on the Billboard 200. Following his show in Iowa, he’ll travel throughout the U.S. and Canada before closing out the trek June 29 in Sacramento.
McGraw’s Des Moines show came just one day ahead of the NCAA March Madness kickoff for women’s basketball, in which Iowa — largely thanks to Des Moines native Clark’s impressive skills on the court — is one of four No. 1 seeds. Last year, she led the Hawkeyes to the national championship game, although they lost to Louisiana State University 102-85. She also recently became college basketball’s all-time leading scorer, surpassing LSU’s Pete Maravich.
