She was the halftime entertainment at the All Star Game in Vegas last year. Maybe I'm just old, but I wasn't impressed.

I don't think many of these current acts will be remembered like the 60s to 90s music.

WNBA teams seem inclined to choose non-traditional nicknames that make a fair amount of people shake their head when first announced.

Dream
Storm
Sparks
Sky
Liberty
Wings
Fever

Yeah, everyone loves music that's 40 years older than them. Gen Z is gonna be listening to a heck of a lot more Fleetwood Mac and Nirvana in 30 years than Olivia Rodrigo and Harry Styles. Solid take.

So, a pretty low percentage. I suspect there are a lot more dominant teams that have had two syllable names. Of course, suspicions aren't facts.

Valkyries = "choosers of the dead"—females who guide the souls of dead warriors to Valhalla? EEEEEK!!!

On the other hand, there is Wagner's inspiring (?) Ride of the Valkyries via Francis Ford Coppola:

They could play this Wagner selection when ever they enter the court. Led by a Valkyre mascot.
