What does no te vengas arriba mean?

ExpressionColoquial

don't get carried away

Venirse arriba is growing into something: gaining confidence all at once and overdoing it. It is used in sport, at work and above all between friends, to rein in somebody who has just scored a point. Very common in current Spanish and fairly recent.

Ganó un partido y se vino arriba.
The confidence arrived faster than the ability.
