Olivia Dunne’s wild living room dance video caused something of a stir this week.
While LSU’s football program has primarily been in the headlines over the past couple of weeks, what with Brian Kelly’s daughter’s provocative photos blowing up and the cheerleader whose private photos leaked out, none of the parties involved possess the level of celebrity that Dunne possesses.
As a result, it wasn’t much of a surprise on Saturday morning when it was Dunne who found herself trending – not the Tigers’ football team.
Why was Dunne going viral early this weekend? Over a wild living room dance video she posted to her social media.
@livvy crush on @Accelerator 🥰 #foryou ♬ maria – ☆Responses were overwhelmingly positive.
“The best I have seen,” one fan wrote.
“This is what true friendship looks like,” another agreed.
“What a truly joyful moment,” a third fan chimed in.
In a collegiate athletics week that saw a certain quarterback’s girlfriend set the internet ablaze with her racy photos, it is quite telling that Dunne so effortlessly swooped in and recaptured the headlines.
She is just that level of celebrity at this juncture, and her place in the larger cultural zeitgeist is just that strong.
Be it for her wild locker room video, provocative hotel room video or her notable party pictures with Angel Reese, Dunne is a permanent fixture in the news cycle.
Plus, Dunne’s general social media output is always a huge hit as well.

Some believed that the beginning of the college football season might change that.
What a Gameday for Notre Dame and Ohio State already. https://t.co/LfLkp8mcNH

It hasn’t.
What will Dunne ultimately put LSU in the headlines for next? Time will tell.
