WNBA star Sophie Cunningham had fans talking after she made a surprise appearance at a country music concert over the weekend. 

Social media lit up after videos showing the Indiana Fever guard laughing and dancing on stage with Riley Green at his Kansas City, Missouri, concert on Saturday, Nov. 8, went viral online. 

Cunningham shared her own recap from the night on Instagram, rocking tiny jean shorts, a crop top and oversized leather jacket. In one photo, Cunningham, 29, took a selfie with Green, 37, backstage, captioning the post, "where camo and denim are the most common colors." 

The WNBA star also shared a video of herself strutting out on stage with her tongue out in the middle of the concert to bring Green a drink.

The crowd went wild when Cunningham randomly appeared with two red solo cups before chugging a drink beside the country star and giving him a quick hug.

Fans thinks Sophie Cunningham and Riley Green would make the perfect match 

Fans immediately flooded the comments section saying Cunningham stole the show and teasing that she and Green would make the perfect couple. 

"Can we start the Sophie Riley love connection rumor now? 😍," one person commented. 

"Why aren't you two dating," another wrote. 

"You had your eye on him for a while now. You finally took the risk and got your reward," a third person commented. 

"I smell a relationship budding," another person added. 

Several concertgoers also shared videos of Cunningham on stage with Green on TikTok, where fans flooded the comments suggesting a romance could be brewing. 

"She totally likes him," a TikTok user commented. 

"Perfect couple," a second said. 

"Riley would be a good guy for her," another added. 

While Cunningham clearly enjoyed her night on the town, her main focus remains on returning to basketball.

Last season, she suffered a torn MCL in her right knee, which required surgery. She missed the playoffs with the Fever and is still recovering from the injury. 

It's unclear if Cunningham will return to the Fever or try her luck elsewhere in the WNBA. 

Her contract with the team has expired, making her eligible to sign with any team.
