Earlier this year, Wade and Union, who run Kaavia's official Instagram page, shared an adorable video post on April 25 featuring clips of Union's scenes from "Bring It On" spliced together with shots of Kaavia in "Bring It On" cheer gear.

"Who did it best? 😂," the caption read. "Bring It On: Kaav's Version (2024)."

The video track was overlaid with the "Go Toros" cheer chant featured in the 2000 comedy film about dueling cheer squads.
