Jennifer Lopez is a Grammy-nominated artist, a global icon, and fresh off a sold-out residency at Caesars Palace. She was also, according to one SoFi Stadium announcer, "in the building" at a Chargers game. She wasn't, but Paige Woolen was.
On Wednesday, April 8, the content creator posted a throwback clip to TikTok showing the moment she got pulled into a celebrity lookalike contest. In the video, the announcer asks the crowd "do we got J.Lo in the building, where she at?" before Woolen's face appears on the jumbotron right next to a photo of the pop icon.
"I was like 5 beers deep, fully locked in with my nachos and the jumbotron guy comes up to me out of nowhere," she wrote in the caption. "I’m ginger at the time so I’m thinking ok… Emma Stone? Lindsay Lohan? Carrot Top?"
Instead, she got matched with Lopez.
"Jennifer Lopez is genuinely one of the most beautiful women to ever exist, so I'm not going to pretend like that moment didn't make my entire year," Woolen said in a statement. "I went to a football game and left with one of the best compliments I've ever received. You can't make that up."
Woolen is no stranger to going viral. She first broke through in 2020 after launching her Dudes in the DM Instagram account, where she exposed men in relationships who were sliding into her inbox. She's since grown her following to over a million across platforms, landed a FashionNova ambassadorship, appeared on Bravo's The Valley, and modeled for both Maxim and Guess.
"I've learned that the best things happen when you're not trying," Woolen said. "Dudes in the DM went viral by accident. The jumbotron was a total surprise. And now I'm building a whole show around just being myself."
That show is The Paige Uncaged Show, a late-night style YouTube talk show she's described as “Alex Cooper's Call Her Daddy, but for men who actually want to be better.”
Season 2 drops April 23.
