Taylor swift leaves Olympics viewers in tears with ‘mindblowing’ NBC promo hyping up Simone Biles and Team USA stars
TAYLOR Swift has left fans emotional with her surprise narration during a promo video of Team USA during the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Among the Team USA stars featured in the clip was 10-time gold medalist Simone Biles.
NBC paid tribute to the female athletes who have medaled during the Olympics: Biles, swimmer Katie Ledecky, and track star Sha’Carri Richardson.
Swift’s hit song Style played alongside her narration in the one-minute, 19-second video on X.
“Never be afraid to show them who you are,” the 14-time Grammy-winning singer said.
“Especially when the whole world is watching.
Because there’s no one way to be the best. No one way to inspire everyone else who will someday follow.
“You do what you love. You love what you do. You believe in your style, whatever it is.”
Footage of Biles, Ledecky, and Richardson participating in Paris was shown during the clip.
“Katie, Sha’Carri, and Simone,” Swift continued.
Three American stars, three different visions of greatness, tonight in Paris.”
Fans were moved by the clip in the comments.
“I have tears in my eyes , so many incredible women. How lucky are we to witness all of their greatness,” a third added.
Swift’s latest promo video comes a week after she was part of another hype video for the legendary event.
So ready to scream at my tv cheering for these athletes,” Swift captioned the clip on her Instagram Stories
The video featured Team USA stars LeBron James, Noah Lyles, and Richardson while her song, Ready for It, played in the background.
The promo featured a live version of Swift performing the single from her Reputation album, which was recorded during her iconic Eras Tour last year.
At the end of the clip, Biles asked, “Are you guys ready for it.”
Beyoncé also took part in a promo honoring Team USA.
And the 32-time Grammy winner gave a shoutout to Biles, who is guiding what she’s calling a “redemption tour” with her fellow US gymnastics squad.
Let’s talk about power, because really, that’s what this story is about. Physical power. It’s beauty, it’s wonder, the way it never stops amazing you,” Beyoncé said in the video.
“Then there’s spiritual power, the kind that really matters. The power you can’t see, only sense. The power you need in those moments when life goes a little sideways on you.”
