Olivia Dunne takes notes from Taylor Swift to be a stylish WAG

Olivia Dunne didn’t just shine on the gymnastics floor—she knows how to move through the complex media landscape that surrounds high-profile sports couples. In a recent interview with Page Six, the LSU star and current face of Fanatics Sportsbook shared that she closely watches Taylor Swift’s approach to dating Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end. Dunne wants to learn how to handle the spotlight that comes with dating a top-tier athlete.

Currently, Olivia Dunne is in a relationship with Paul Skenes, and she admits that being with a professional athlete is “a unique position.” It’s not just about the media attention. It’s the constant travel, packed schedules. And the challenge of maintaining her own career while sharing life with someone who’s also under public scrutiny.

The young influencer, who has millions of followers across social media, has made it clear that she admires Taylor Swift. Not just for how she handles criticism, but for her work ethic and business savvy. “She gets it,” Olivia Dunne said, referencing a clip from the “New Heights” podcast where Swift joked about her presence in sports spaces. For Dunne, that moment went beyond humor. It felt like validation that women belong in those spaces without needing permission.
