As the world rang in the new year and the new decade, social media was flooded with nostalgia trends-people sharing what they were up to back in 2016.Hailee Steinfeld, actress and singer, became a standout example of how some things don’t age as gracefully as hoped. For most, posting old photos is a fun way to kick off the year, but for Steinfeld, this one resurfaced at a particularly awkward time.
Stepping back into 2016
The trend that caught Steinfeld was a video of her dancing, but what made it instantly viral wasn’t her moves-it was the jacket she wore: full Denver Broncos gear. Fans quickly dug deeper and found a decade-old tweet from her, celebrating the Broncos’ Super Bowl 50 victory with a classic 2016 dab. At the time, she expressed her fandom openly, adding another layer of nostalgia for NFL followers.
From Broncos to Bills
It’s worth noting the timing of the resurgence. Ahead of Denver’s divisional round playoff game against the Buffalo Bills, Broncos fans stumbled upon this old tweet. Steinfeld, originally from California, now supports her husband Josh Allen’s team, the Bills, yet this clip reminded everyone she may have grown up cheering for Denver-or perhaps it was simply a sponsored moment, as the tweet was linked to STARTER JACKETS.
Either way, the juxtaposition of past fandom and current loyalties made the clip irresistible online.
While the video might not have aged perfectly for Steinfeld, it’s also a reminder of her long-standing connection to the NFL and the moments that come with being married to a superstar quarterback. Fans can see the genuine enthusiasm, even if the allegiance has shifted.
Even if the timing wasn’t ideal, the clip serves as a glimpse into Steinfeld’s sports history, bridging her personal life with her husband’s high-profile NFL career.
