While Louisiana State University has propelled Olivia Dunne to become the highest-paid NCAA athlete, Livvy was instrumental in LSU’s first-ever championship appearance, a mainstay that will go down in the annals of LSU history. It’s a love story that keeps giving in. As Dunne gears up her last year at the college, she is determined to keep her promise of making it the best season for the LSU Tigers.
Tigers are gearing up for the NCAA Championships, and Livvy is frequently emerging in support of the team. Despite being shadow-banned, she has been very vocal on social media, and in the latest update, she has handed the 13,000 LSU fans with an interesting task.

Despite the shadow ban on TikTok, Livvy shared an adorable TikTok with fans. In the latest video, she is calling out the 13,000 Tiger fans for a special gesture. Livvy is standing in the middle of the Maravich stadium, and stands, aka some unknown voice, pleads to Livvy that she is alone. To which the same voice proclaims – “I can fix that!”. This line hearkens back to a dialogue from Blade Runner 2049, which has also become a trend on social media. The same juxtaposition is done here, albeit via Dunne’s lens. She looks awe struck at the handiwork of LSU’s legacy and envisions her loyal legions of fans to fill the vast expansiveness of the stadium. “Even prettier filled with 13,000 tiger fans”, she wrote in the caption.
The stadium does look electrifying as fans brace the blue stands. As the countdown for the NCAA Championships comes down under single digits, Livvy is gearing up the fans to get behind the team. Earlier, the LSU gave a shout-out to the 21-year-old who is returning to mats after the festive season.
