LSU Gymnast Olivia Dunne is a superstar in more ways than one. Whether it’s on the competition floor or on social media, she’s near the top of the game.
When it comes to gymnastics, she’s long been in the public eye. Dunne made the US Junior National Team in her early teens and had a great shot at competing for Team USA at the Olympic Games before injuries cost her the shot at competing in Tokyo.
On social media, the 20-year-old New Jersey native has an incredible nine million followers combined on Instagram and TikTok. She’s seemingly all over the social media landscape, and seemingly has a cult following.

Still, she isn’t complaining about the riches she’s accumulated from social media. She ekes out Olympic All-Around Champion and current Auburn Tiger Sunisa Lee as female athlete with the highest NIL value.

And, a big reason of that are her flirty TikToks. Let’s take a look at some of her recent viral hits.

But, her latest hit came on Monday, when she hearkened back to the classic 1981 one-hit wonder “Mickey” by Toni Basil.
