She's gone viral at a sporting event before

Shenseea melted social media when she sat courtside at a Los Angeles Lakers game this past season in late October.

"'Course they'll win if i'm courtside! 🏆," Shenseea wrote for her Instagram carousel post. Ironically, the Lakers beat the Minnesota Timberwolves that night. The Wolves and Anthony Edwards got their revenge in the Western Conference first-round NBA playoffs series, winning in five games.

In the end, most folks on social media only remember Shenseea's fantastic fit. Now NFL fans know her too.
