Country music star Blake Shelton showed up to Indiana Fever’s rehearsal and Sophie Cunningham got busy.

Cunningham, 29, was in the middle of training when she saw the eight-time Grammy nominee, and she lost all focus.

Cunningham walked over to Shelton, jaw dropped, and simply said, “I just lost all focus. Stop it.”

Shelton showed her his custom Fever jersey with his own last name and No. 7. Then he hugged her and said it was nice to meet her.

Cunningham was in disbelief at Shelton’s jersey, saying, “It’s so good.” Soon after, Fever coach Stephanie White introduced Shelton to the entire team.

Caitlin Clark was featured in the video welcoming Shelton to practice. The 49-year-old left training after taking some photos and said: “See you!”

Seizing the moment, Cunningham replied, “See you, Blake,” while laughing.

The Fever met Shelton a day before playing their second preseason game. They won their first preseason game 109-91 over the New York Liberty, despite Clark not shooting well.

Clark was 2-for-10 shooting as she looked to shake off the rust after playing in just 13 games last season while dealing with a slew of injuries. Cunningham had 13 points, two rebounds, an assist and two steals in the win in just 14 minutes of work.

Cunningham, like Clark, is also returning from injury this season. She tore her MCL last August and missed the rest of the season.

The Fever’s second preseason game is against the Dallas Wings on Thursday at 7 p.m. ET.
