indiana

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'state currently' is the definition.
'indiana' can be an answer for 'state' (US state). I am not certain of the 'currently' bit.

'popular with goddess' is the wordplay.
'popular' becomes 'in' ('in' can mean trendy).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'goddess' becomes 'diana' (Roman goddess).
'in'+'diana'='INDIANA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for indiana that I've seen before include "State between Illinois/Ohio" , "US Midwest state" , "___ Jones, Harrison Ford hero - US state" , "-- Jones, Harrison Ford role" , "State south of Lake Michigan" .)
