ESPN reporter Taylor Davis has gone viral after being caught dancing just seconds before going live on TV.
The sports journalist was working at Southern Miss for their opening round loss to Mississippi State.
Mississippi powered to a 34-17 win in the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision, but it was Davis who stole all the headlines.
The former University of Auburn student was caught on camera as she grooved along to Drake’s ‘Sicko Mode’ song.
In the viral clip, Davis can be seen having a little boogie before gathering her composure ahead of a piece to camera. A real pro.

Once the video began trending, Davis commented on social media: “Couldn’t help myself!”
Davis was quizzed about her personal performance on a Bleav podcast.
Sitting alongside former Auburn QB Jason Campbell, she said: “Bruh… you know what, it’s something that really surprises people about me, that all I listen to is rap.
“I’m originally from a small town in Alabama, I went to Auburn, I live in Nashville, and I don’t listen to country music, I listen to rap and hip-hop.
“My memory is pretty good, so my lyrical prowess comes out every now and then.
“Especially pregame, when I’m just getting in the zone… and unbeknownst to me, I was being recorded and yeah, it’s gone viral.
“I’m a little embarrassed, I’m not going to lie, it’s a little cringe… but I am who I am and you’ve got to do what keeps you loose before a game.”
