In a delightful twist of post-game celebrations, singer Ciara, wife of New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson, stole the spotlight by perfectly executing defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence's now-viral 'Sexy Dance' sack celebration. The moment unfolded after the Giants' convincing 34-10 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, showcasing a light-hearted side to the team's current season where Wilson finds himself as the third-string emergency quarterback.
From Gridiron to Dance Floor: Ciara's Viral Moment
The celebration was captured on video and shared by Ciara herself on her Instagram. Dressed in a striking long black furry coat, tight black pants, and big brown furry boots, topped with a black cap and goggles, the 'Goodies' singer didn't hold back. Dancing to the reported background track of So Supa's 'Don't Hide,' Ciara matched Lawrence's celebratory moves step-for-step before giving the defensive star a high-five.
Her caption, "When you know your blessings are around the corner @dexterlawrence18," hinted at the positive team spirit. Fans flooded the comments, with one user writing, "The Sexy Dexy dance go crazy??," while another called Ciara "Iconic Ci!!!" The fun even sparked a wish from a fan to see the dance included in the popular video game Madden.
Dexter Lawrence's Signature Move Finds New Fame
The 'Sexy Dance' celebration, created by Lawrence during his rookie year in 2019, went massively viral in October. Its popularity surged after college football wide receiver Carnell Tate imitated it. The dance took on an added layer of narrative in Week 3 when Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Jaylen Watson performed it after intercepting a pass from Giants quarterback Russell Wilson.
Lawrence, amused by the attention, told NorthJersey.com in October, "Everybody likes a big man dance, I guess... I'd much rather have people talking about it than not, then you know you're doing something right. But nobody has done the dance quite like me yet." Ciara's flawless execution, however, certainly came close.
A Celebration of Team Spirit and Unwavering Support
Ciara's decision to joyfully perform the same dance that was once used to mock her husband's interception is seen as a powerful testament to their united front. It underscores the couple's philosophy of being a team, a sentiment Ciara has expressed openly. In a past interview on 'TODAY With Jenna & Friends,' she highlighted their mutual support system.
"I am a better woman because of him," Ciara said of Wilson. "His belief and support for me just gives me an extra wind of support... And even being able to support him, like that connection that you build with supporting each other on your journeys, it's incredible. We're a team."
This heartwarming display comes as Russell Wilson adapts to his new role with the Giants, serving as the emergency third-string quarterback behind rookie starter Jaxson Dart and backup Jameis Winston. The team's decisive win over the Raiders, followed by this viral moment of camaraderie, paints a picture of a squad finding its rhythm both on and off the field.
