Celebrations are still pouring in for the UCLA women's basketball team after their historic first NCAA championship win on Sunday. From professional sports teams like the Lakers and Clippers paying tribute during their games to a social media shoutout from former President Barack Obama, the Bruins are feeling the love from all corners.

But for star center Lauren Betts, one celebrity congratulations stood out above the rest. When asked about the "craziest" shoutout, Betts didn't hesitate. "Tate McRae," she said in a video from Dodgers Nation. "I'm sorry, nothing tops Tate McRae. I love LeBron (James), I love Obama down but Tate McRae was insane. I can't believe she even recognized me, that's crazy."

The connection between the Bruins and the pop star runs deep. Betts, along with teammates Gabriela Jaquez and Charlisse Leger-Walker, became a viral sensation this season for their halftime dance to McRae's hit "You Broke Me First" at a UCLA men's game. The routine turned into a celebratory tradition, performed after major tournament wins and even with the Clippers Spirit dance team after clinching the title—proving that championship swagger and great team chemistry go hand in hand.
