Kansas City Chiefs heiress Gracie Hunt turned 24 years old this week.
As one of the more prominent influencers at the intersection of sports and entertainment, she wanted to commemorate the occasion in a special way.
What did she ultimately settle on? An interesting tribute to Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant.
The photo shoot immediately set the internet ablaze.

“Gorgeous,” one person wrote. “Happy birthday Gracie!”
“Happy birthday Gracie! What a beautiful soul you are,” a second person chimed in.
“Happy Happy Birthday gorgeous girl!! You have the world by the tail! Wishing another blessed year,” a third person added.
This obviously isn’t the first time in recent weeks Hunt has blown up in the headlines. Between the wild video she posted ahead of the Super Bowl, her provocative World Cup outfit that almost caused an international incident and her memorable boat photos, it has been one thing after another with her.
In addition to all that, even her standard social media offerings do crazier numbers than what some of the most prominent NFL personalities around do.

Erin Andrews, for example, posted some pretty intimate vacation pictures this weekend. They didn’t do a fraction of the numbers that Hunt’s post did.
Ditto for the girls’ night photos that Baker Mayfield’s wife published.
Hunt is objectively one of the NFL’s biggest non-player stars. And it’s hard to see that changing any time soon.

As the Chiefs continue to maintain their chokehold on the league, Hunt will undoubtedly be there cheering them on every step of the way. What will she ultimately go viral for next? Time will tell.
