The Olympique Lyonnais star, Shauna Shipman, stood frozen in the electric chaos of the music video set. The clip from that interview—her own voice saying those thirsty things—replayed in her head, a loop of embarrassment and thrill. Surrounded by rushing crew and blazing lights, the elite athlete looked completely out of place, a pillar of tense energy. Her dark hair was pulled back, but her hands wouldn’t stay still, twisting together as her wide brown eyes scanned the scene. She’d missed her cue, rooted to the spot, overwhelmed by the sheer, dizzying fact of your proximity.
