"I've been better now, because I literally went to the hospital watching a Lakers game at home," she revealed.

She recalled watching a tense Game 7 matchup between the Lakers and Sacramento Kings during the Western Conference Finals. The close score and high stakes left her overwhelmed.

"I hyperventilated because I was watching a game... The game was really close, and I had taken a little sip of water," she explained.

Song said she follows what she calls a "superstition of the season." After noticing that the Lakers scored when she took a sip of water, she continued the pattern throughout the game.

Although the Lakers ultimately won, the experience took a toll on her physically. She ended up going to the hospital but continued watching the post-game coverage from the waiting room.

Culkin’s Concerns

Song also revealed that Culkin worries about her behavior during live games. "Mac is always worried that I'm going to get into a fight at a game," she admitted.

Despite his concerns, Song made it clear she has no intention of toning down her enthusiasm. "I have no problem. Especially if you're coming to our house, get out of here," she added.

Courtside Energy Captured on Camera

Her energetic presence has not gone unnoticed by the team. In April 2025, the Lakers placed a microphone on Song during a game and shared clips of her reactions on social media.

In one moment, she was heard cheering, "C'mon LeBron [James]. Smack this boy out of here."
