Olivia Dunne has been everywhere lately. The LSU gymnast and social media mega-star has truly hit the mainstream this year.
Of course, she got her start as a celebrity as a star youth gymnast for the US Women’s Gymnastics Team, where she pursued a spot on the 2020 Olympic team before injuries dashed her hopes. But, she was an All-American on the uneven bars as a freshman at LSU in 2021, and despite battling injuries figures to be a big piece in an LSU team that could very well win a national title next year.
But, it’s her social media following that has made her famous. Olivia Dunne has over 4 million followers on instagram, and over 7 million on TikTok. That has helped her land big modeling assignments, like her spread in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.
Recently, she’s been hanging out in Omaha while LSU plays in the Men’s College World Series.
But, she left Omaha and headed to Nashville to do some press at the Ally 400 NASCAR Cup Series race on Sunday. And, she was making herself acquaintances with driver Chase Elliott. Take a look.

Maybe Olivia Dunne inspired Chase Elliott. He took fifth. Ross Chastain won the race.
