If one looks to define the magnitude of power that social media holds in our lives, one needs to look no further than Olivia Dunne. The famous LSU gymnast is mega-popular on various social media platforms. As of July 2023, she has 7.6 million Tik Tok followers and 4.2 million Instagram followers. Consequently, the 20-year-old is the most followed NCAA athlete on social media.
As the Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly (ESPY) Awards near, Olivia Dunne just took to her Snapchat account to share an exciting update about her appearance this year. Last year, the gymnastics star turned heads with her red carpet walk. This year, she is ready to set the carpet on fire yet again.

Well, sort of. While posting on her Snapchat stories, Dunne shared a selfie with the popular football quarterback, Patrick Mahomes. Not the real one, but with his place card at the ESPY Awards venue. The famous gymnast captioned the selfie with “Is this seat taken?” It seemed like Olivia Dunne was in a rehearsal at the venue of the ESPY Awards, as she donned an official neckband with the name of the event on it.
Just like she stunned the audience at the 2022 ESPY Awards, it is not a stretch to think that the athlete will stun once again at this year’s event. Although, it is unclear what role she will be playing. Patrick Mahomes, on the other hand, will be joining the ESPY Awards as a nominee. In 2019, the Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes won the NFL MVP award. After this win, he garnered a couple of additional wins at the ESPY Awards that year. He managed to bag the Best NFL Player and Best Male Athlete.
Once again, Patrick Mahomes is in the mix for the nominees for the Best NFL Player award. It will be exciting to see what accolades Mahomes can take home with him this year. However, one thing is clear, Olivia Dunne will be ready to catch our attention with jaw-dropping looks. Maybe she’ll even conduct the event this year, though there has been no buzz about that fact. Still, Dunne will slay like last year.
What a repeat appearance will look like
