Taylor Swift Praises ‘Three American Stars’ in New Olympics Video

Taylor Swift is cheering on Team USA at the 2024 Olympic Games! The singer, 34, narrated a new promotional video for NBC Olympics on Saturday, Aug. 3, praising three of the team’s star athletes: Simone Biles, Sha’Carri Richardson, and Katie Ledecky, who have all won medals at the games this year.

 Honoring Greatness

The inspiring video begins with a shot of a swimming pool as Swift’s 2015 hit song “Style” starts playing. This sets the stage for a visually stunning montage featuring Simone Biles, 27, at the vault, Sha’Carri Richardson, 24, walking on a field, and Katie Ledecky, 27, in the pool. Each athlete’s dedication and prowess are highlighted through powerful and emotional clips

“Never be afraid to show them who you are, especially when the whole world is watching,” Swift narrates, as clips of Biles, Richardson, and Ledecky competing in their sports and interacting with fans are shown. “Because there is no one way to be the best. No one way to inspire everyone else who will someday follow.”

 Embracing Unique Styles

Swift continues, “You do what you love. You love what you do.” The lyric from her song, “We never go out of style,” plays before she continues to narrate, saying, “You believe in your style, whatever it is.” This message of authenticity and individuality resonates deeply, encouraging viewers to embrace their unique paths and passions.

“Katie, Sha’Carri and Simone,” Swift says, as more shots of the three competitors winning medals are shown, along with Biles holding up her sparkling goat necklace. “Three American stars. Three different visions of greatness. Tonight, in Paris,” the pop superstar concludes, leaving viewers with a sense of pride and inspiration.

 Celebrating Olympic Achievements

Posting the video on X (formerly Twitter), NBC Olympics wrote: “Never be afraid to show them who you are … especially when the whole world is watching,” tagging Swift. “Katie. Sha’Carri. Simone. They’ll never go out of style … #ParisOlympics.”

On Saturday, Aug. 3, Biles won the gold medal in the individual vault final — her third of the 2024 Olympic Games and seventh overall. This victory further cements her status as one of the greatest gymnasts of all time. Meanwhile, Katie Ledecky secured her ninth Olympic gold medal in the women’s 800-meter freestyle, demonstrating her incredible endurance and skill in the pool. Sha’Carri Richardson brought home the silver in the women’s 100-meter final, marking a significant achievement in her career and a powerful comeback.

 Swift’s Support for Team USA

Swift’s narration of the new promotional video for the Olympics comes after her song “…Ready for It?” was featured in NBC’s previous promotional video for the games on July 27. Sharing the video in a post on Instagram Stories the same day, she wrote, “So ready to scream at my TV cheering for these athletes.” Her enthusiastic support for Team USA highlights her genuine admiration for the athletes’ dedication and achievements.

The “Karma” singer is currently in Europe performing her Eras tour. On Saturday night, Swift performed her third and final consecutive show in Warsaw, Poland. During the show, Swift surprised the sold-out crowd by performing a mashup of The Tortured Poets Department track “The Black Dog” and the folklore breakup song “exile” featuring Bon Iver for the fourth time on the Eras Tour. Her dynamic performances and heartfelt tributes continue to captivate audiences worldwide.

Taylor Swift’s tribute to Simone Biles, Sha’Carri Richardson, and Katie Ledecky is a powerful reminder to embrace one’s unique style and greatness. As these athletes continue to inspire the world with their performances, Swift’s words resonate with the spirit of the Olympics. Her involvement in the Olympic promotional video adds a layer of star power and emotional depth, encouraging viewers to celebrate their individuality and strive for greatness.
