Angel Reese has quickly captivated WNBA and Chicago Sky fans, endearing herself to them as a hard-working rookie with elite rebounding skills and a motor that never stops running. Now, she wants to repay Sky fans for their support.

Fresh off a career-high 25 points against rival Caitlin Clark and her Indiana Fever, Reese is getting better and better with each passing game as she carves out a place amongst fierce competition in the WNBA. Some of Reese’s fans have been with her since her LSU days — and she has christened them anew with a charming nickname.

Reese salutes her “pieces”

In a viral tweet on Tuesday, Reese asked where her “Reese’s Pieces” were — the nickname she has assigned her loyal fans, and a play on her last name as well as the famous peanut butter candy manufactured by Hershey.

The roll call prompted a wave of responses on Twitter/X as Reese rallied her fans for the games ahead. The 6-9 Sky are in possession of the WNBA’s eighth and final playoff spot, and Chicago has nine games between now and the Olympic break in mid-July — with the first game in that stretch taking place at Wintrust Arena on Thursday night against the defending champion Las Vegas Aces.

Reese will no doubt relish a matchup with reigning MVP A’ja Wilson and her Aces, as it gives the rookie a chance to continue an impressive streak. Reese has posted eight consecutive points-rebounds double-doubles — a league record for a first-year player — and she has shot better than 50 percent from the floor in consecutive games.

Reese and Kamilla Cardoso — her one-time college rival — represent the Sky’s future as the franchise hopes to return to championship contention in the next few years. Continuing to cultivate and energize the fanbase supporting her is another smart move from Reese as she continues to expand her game.

Like any celebrity power couple, there have been plenty of rumors about a breakup between Grammy Award-winning singer Taylor Swift and her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs superstar tight end Travis Kelce.

There aren’t any legitimate signs or hints that trouble is brewing between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. But it doesn’t take much these days for fans and media outlets to speculate about power couple breakups.

Well, recent activity from Swift herself on Instagram should quiet any rumors about a potential breakup with the three-time Super Bowl champion…for now.

Chariah Gordon, the girlfriend of Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman, streamed the club’s Super Bowl 58 championship ring ceremony via Instagram video. Swift was overseas in Liverpool for a concert during the event, but she stayed up super late to watch and comment on the special festivities:
