Angel Reese is already making herself at home in the A. Just weeks after a blockbuster trade sent the two-time All-Star to the Atlanta Dream, she was spotted at State Farm Arena for the finale of Cardi B’s “Little Miss Drama Tour.”
The newest star of the Dream didn’t come empty-handed. During the high-energy show, the “Chi-Barbie” turned “ATL-Barbie” linked up with the Grammy-winning rapper to officially welcome her to the city. In a moment that quickly went viral, she presented the superstar with one of her brand-new, red Atlanta Dream jerseys.
This wasn’t the first time the two icons have shared a spotlight. Back in 2023, the same year she led LSU to a national championship, the forward made a memorable cameo in the music video for “Put It On Da Floor Again” by Latto featuring Cardi B. Their latest link-up in Atlanta serves as a full-circle moment for the athlete and the artist, who have been supporting each other’s careers for years.
The gesture comes at a time when the demand for the star’s gear is at an all-time high. Following the April 6 trade that brought her to Atlanta from the Chicago Sky, her jersey reportedly sold out at the team store within hours—so much so that even her own mother took to social media to joke about not being able to find a medium. Seeing the jersey in the hands of one of the biggest names in music only adds to the massive “Reese Effect” taking over the city.
Entering her third season in the WNBA, the standout rebounder is projected to be a cornerstone for a Dream roster that already features talent like Rhyne Howard and Allisha Gray. Between her presence at the biggest cultural events in Atlanta and her dominance on the boards, she is clearly embracing her new chapter in Georgia.
