Kiera Mayer, the stunning Texas football fan who went viral at last weekend's game against Georgia, has shared more pictures from the showdown on social media.
Cameras repeatedly returned to Mayer, a student at the University of Arkansas, throughout the blockbuster college match on Saturday night - and the internet soon picked up on it.
In a post which amassed thousands of likes on X, Barstool Sports shared a photo of Mayer on the broadcast and wrote: 'We're all rooting for Texas tonight'.
And now, Mayer has posted more pictures from the day of her posing with friends to her near 4,000 followers on Instagram.
The game itself ended in disappointment for Mayer, with Texas losing 30-15 to Georgia.

The game itself was marred by Texas fans launching bottles onto the field to protest a refereeing decision.
It prompted the team's most famous fan, Matthew McConaughey, to call out the 'BS' behavior of supporters in a fiery statement on Monday evening.
'Yeah, that call was BS, but we're better than that,' he wrote. 'Longhorn Nation knows how to show up, show out like no other, and still keep our class.
'So, going forward let's clean that kind of BS up and leave that behind us for good. We have to shake hands on that.'
Mayer wasn't the only fan to enjoy 15 minutes of fame on a huge night for college football.
Grant Walther also went viral across social media when cameras panned in on him looking disappointed towards the end of the game - with fans joking he looked like Conway Twitty's grandson.
Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.Com, Walther said he wanted to turn his newfound fame into an opportunity to raise money for charity.
'I love the idea of turning this into some sort of charity opportunity,' he said. 'When you're given an opportunity like this, the best thing you can do is pass that forward to others.
Mayer's next chance to cheer Texas on at home is November 9 when they host Florida
‘I know Matthew McConaughey was cutting players' hair. Maybe he can cut mine on the field and raise some money for cancer awareness. My grandmother just recently got diagnosed with breast cancer and then beat it.
'This is the perfect platform for me to advocate for the things I care most about.'
The Longhorns, 6-1 for the season, are on the road this coming Saturday but return to their home fans the following week when they host Florida Gators.
