Alysa Liu’s Viral TikTok With Laufey Sparks Buzz About Upcoming Music Video
Olympic gold medalist Alysa Liu and Grammy-winning artist Laufey are taking their connection beyond the rink and the stage. What started as a shared moment during the 2026 Winter Olympics has quickly evolved into a viral friendship — and now, a potential creative collaboration. A surprise social media video featuring the two has captured widespread attention, hinting that Liu’s post-Olympic spotlight may extend into the music world in ways fans didn’t see coming.
Inside Alysa Liu and Laufey’s Collaboration
In a video posted on April 7, Liu and Laufey danced together to “Stateside” by PinkPantheress — the same song Liu used for her free skate at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Laufey captioned the post, “welcome to the party @alysaxliu 🌼🧡”.
Liu reshared it and wrote: “Madwoman let’s gooo,”.
That caption turned out to be more than casual enthusiasm. It appears that Liu will be appearing in a music video for Laufey’s newest song “Madwoman,” alongside KATSEYE member Megan Skiendel, per another TikTok from Laufey posted an hour later.
Alysa Liu and Laufey’s Connection Built on the Ice
The relationship between Liu and Laufey didn’t begin with a viral moment. It developed during the Olympics, where Liu used Laufey’s song “Promise” in her short program. But the connection actually predates the Games entirely.
In September 2025, Liu attended Laufey’s concert in San Francisco and was featured during a “Best Dressed Guest” segment. Laufey’s reaction on stage made it clear she was starstruck by the skater’s presence.
“You guys, she’s like the best figure skater in the world. Do you understand what this means for my eight-year-old figure skating heart?” Laufey said at the event. “But she is so incredible. She did a program to ‘Promise’ and won the World Championships, which is insane.”
That moment planted the seeds for what fans have watched blossom into a genuine friendship — one now playing out across millions of screens.
Alysa Liu’s Olympic Glory in Milan
At the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, Liu delivered performances that cemented her place in figure skating history. She won two gold medals, including in the team event and the women’s individual competition. She became the first American woman to win Olympic gold in women’s singles figure skating since 2002.
The accomplishment launched Liu into a level of fame that extends well beyond the rink. She has gained a large social media following following the Olympics, with more than 8 million Instagram followers.
Life After the Olympics for Alysa Liu
Since her historic wins, Liu has been on a whirlwind schedule. She withdrew from the 2026 World Figure Skating Championships, citing scheduling demands and insufficient preparation time.
Rather than slowing down, Liu shifted her focus to other opportunities. She is currently participating in the Stars on Ice tour in Japan, with additional performances planned in the United States.
Off the ice, Liu has made the rounds on some of the biggest stages in entertainment. She has appeared on programs including The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Today and 60 Minutes, and presented an award to Taylor Swift at the iHeartRadio Music Awards.
What’s Next?
With a music video collaboration on the horizon and a packed touring schedule, Liu shows no signs of retreating from the spotlight. Her crossover appeal — bridging elite athletics, pop culture and social media — has made her one of the most visible figures to emerge from the 2026 Winter Games.
For now, fans will be watching closely for more details on the “Madwoman” music video and whatever else this unexpected partnership between a figure skating champion and a beloved musician might produce.
