She’s a model and actress who’s best known for her standout roles, especially in Friday Night Lights, and for appearing in several high-profile music videos—one of the most memorable being NSYNC’s iconic “Bye Bye Bye.” Over the years, she’s worked with major brands like Victoria’s Secret, Abercrombie & Fitch, and has been featured in fashion spreads for Harper’s Bazaar. You could say her journey really took off when she was discovered after tagging along to a Model Search of America contest with a friend—talk about being in the right place at the right time. And on a personal note, she was in a long-term relationship with Tyson Ritter that lasted about five years, which definitely kept fans curious throughout that chapter of her life. She’s built a name for herself, no doubt, and continues to make waves in both modeling and acting circles.
She had a minor part in the television series Friday Night Lights, a show inspired by the real-life story of the Permian High School Panthers football team from Odessa, Texas. Interestingly, she actually attended Permian High School herself, making her connection to the series a bit more personal. So, while her role on screen was small, her ties to Permian High School run deep—she’s one of the many who walked those same halls long before cameras rolled.
