Taylor Swift Shows Support for Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics
In a recent move, Taylor Swift has expressed her solidarity with Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics, joining a list of A-list celebrities backing the athletes on the world stage. Following Beyonce’s appearance in an electrifying hype video during the opening ceremony broadcast on NBC, the network turned to Swift to provide the musical backdrop for another promotional video.
Over the weekend, Swift took to her Instagram Story to share her excitement, stating, “So ready to scream at my TV cheering for these athletes.” Accompanying her post was a touching video featuring prominent figures like LeBron James, Noah Lyles, and Sha’Carri Richardson, set to the tune of her popular song, Ready For It. Notably, the promo showcased a live rendition of the track from Swift’s Reputation album, recorded during her Eras Tour in 2023.
Simone Biles, a close friend of Swift, made an appearance in the clip, adding to the buzz surrounding the collaboration. With speculation brewing that the Grammy-winning artist might include Paris in her European tour itinerary this month, fans are eager to see if she’ll make a surprise appearance at the Closing Ceremony scheduled for August 11.
Having strong ties to Team USA, particularly the women’s gymnastics team led by Biles, Swift has a history of supporting the athletes. In a heartfelt tribute to Biles during the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, Swift’s gesture was reciprocated with gratitude from the gymnast, who expressed her admiration and love for the singer.
In response to Biles’ mental health challenges that led to her withdrawal from events, Swift also extended her support to Biles’ teammates, Suni Lee and Jade Carey, recognizing their resilience and courage in stepping up when needed. The singer’s connection to the Olympics traces back to 2008 when NBC invited her to perform at the Beijing Games. Despite scheduling conflicts with her Fearless Tour, Swift’s song ”Change” was prominently featured in Olympic promo videos, resonating with the event’s theme of perseverance and triumph in the face of adversity.
