From the moment the docuseries Cheer [1] landed on Netflix, the internet has been losing its collective mind over Gabi Butler. Though the series follows the entire Navarro College squad [2] — led by formidable coach Monica Aldama [3] — Gabi quickly emerged as a star, and it isn't difficult to see why. This isn't Gabi's first time in the spotlight. She became a bit of a celebrity in the cheerleading world at a fairly young age, when she first began posting videos to YouTube (where she has now amassed more than 70,000 subscribers [4]) and appeared in the web series Cheerleaders, which followed Gabi and an all-star squad from California on the road to a second World Championship. Oh, and did we mention she has more than 900,000 followers on Instagram [5]? Casual.
If you can't get enough of Gabi's athleticism, check out this roundup of videos that show exactly why she became such a standout at Navarro and beyond.
