Seen teens, terrible state (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tennessee

'state' is the definition.
(I know that Tennessee is a state)

'seen teens terrible' is the wordplay.
'terrible' indicates an anagram.
'seen'+'teens'='seenteens'
'seenteens' is an anagram of 'TENNESSEE'.

(Other definitions for tennessee that I've seen before include "Seen teens in this US state" , "Name of US dramatist" , "Volunteer State" , "Memphis's state" , "State of south-east US" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
