Jackson added that she was inspired by the young gymnast to do more, be better and be stronger. “I loved it. Absolutely loved it,” she added.

"New @JanetJackson floor routine, same @IAmMargzetta magic," UCLA gymnastics captioned their tweet.

Little did Frazier know that one her idols would end up seeing the routine and letting the world know on Twitter soon after.
