Everyone knew that Taylor Swift's appearance on the New Heights podcast was going to break the internet and do big numbers, but most people thought it would be figuratively. Instead, the Swifties were out in full force and literally broke the internet by crashing the YouTube live stream.

New Heights cited a "glitch" that caused the stream to cut short.

When the episode went live, more than one million people were watching in real time, showing the star power that Taylor Swift brings to the table. But, we all knew she was a bonafide superstar.

Another person who knew the power of the Swifties was WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark, who perfectly predicted the stream would crash nearly five hours before its premiere.

Because the proud Swiftie is always keeping up with all things Tay and all things Kansas City Chiefs, she was tuned in when the stream briefly went down.

Naturally, Clark gave her followers a little callback while adding, "Swifties so powerful we broke the internet."
