The Phoenix Mercury have played 15 games since the beginning of May and as a way to relax and build chemistry off of the court, they went to a Megan Thee Stallion concert on Wednesday inside a packed Footprint Center.

While she was close to Megan Thee Stallion, Cloud typed “COME TO OUR GAME” on her phone and showed the message to the singer. Noticing who she was and the Mercury, Megan Thee Stallion then invited the players onto the stage before she said she would attend a future Mercury game.
“I’m coming to a m***** f****** game,” Megan Thee Stallion shouted.

Having a blast with one of the most popular women’s rappers in the music scene, the Mercury players were all smiles to be able to interact with her.
At Thursday’s practice the next day, Phoenix center Natasha Mack revealed her thoughts on the concert and when the celebrity could soon come to an upcoming game.
“I got to see Megan Thee Stallion, real hot girl,” Mack said. “It honestly doesn’t matter what game she shows up as long as I see her courtside. But that experience was amazing. It was my first concert, I love Megan Thee Stallion, so I was very hype.”
Megan Thee Stallion has had a huge music career since her first single “Like A Stallion” came out in 2016. She has won multiple Grammys, BET and VMA Awards.
When asked about some of her favorite Megan Thee Stallion songs, Mack has a long list that would take too much time for her to name each one.
“Yeah, S** Talk, anything from her Tina Snow album, Freak Nasty,” Mack said. “I have so many I can keep going, I can keep y’all here all day to do this.”
“I have so many, I can keep going.”

Time will tell if or when Megan Thee Stallion will pull up to Footprint Center to catch a future Mercury game, but the fact that she indicated she would come makes it a strong possibility that the music sensation will watch a WNBA game in the Valley.
