A Beyoncé playlist is always a guaranteed success — in this case, for 21-year-old UCLA gymnast Nia Dennis, whose Bey-themed floor routine won her a near-perfect score on Thursday.

The medley included clips of "Crazy in Love" and "Ego," but Dennis' undeniable swagger brought it together with a confidence that would've made Queen Bey proud. Oh yeah, and her flawless technique.

Dennis' routine caught the attention of fellow alum Katelyn Ohashi, as well as celebrities like Alicia Keys and Senator Kamala Harris.

Dennis tweeted her gratitude on Friday, saying that she was "overwhelmed with happiness and joy" and that the response to her routine was "surreal."
