US Open cult hero is going viral all over again

The cultural phenomenon affectionately known to the world as “Beer Girl” is back.

American woman Megan Lucky is going viral all over again after she popped at the US Open in New York and proceeded to chug a beer while getting a standing ovation from the rest of the crowd.

Lucky seized her moment as the live TV cameras showed her section of the crowd and she showed catlike agility in stealing her partner’s beer and putting it away like it was nothing, forcing the camera to zoom in on her.

She got a wild round of applause from the crowd and she was getting plenty of appreciation on social media as well.

Kelly first became a social media sensation at the 2021 US Open for skolling a beer unprompted when the TV cameras found her watching the tennis last year.

She then proceeded to chug a second beer hours later on the same day hours to cement her position as a social media sensation.

A video of her latest beer consumption has 200,000 views on the US Open Twitter account alone.

She responded to her fans in a post on her Instagram stories, saying: “@USopen, you didn’t think I’d forget about you, did you?”.

Her performances have changed her life and she now has 27,000 followers on Instagram.

The crowds at the US Open this year have been insane, particularly during Serena Williams earlier matches where the tennis icon stunned the world by winning through to the third round at the age of 40 in her farewell to the sport.

The crowd is in for a show on Monday morning (AEST) when Aussie Nick Kyrgios plays the biggest match of the tournament so far against reigning champion Daniil Medvedev.
