Taylor Swift is celebrating Team USA’s top athletes at the 2024 Summer Olympics.
During NBC’s primetime coverage of the Olympics on Saturday (Aug. 3), the 34-year-old pop superstar narrated a promotional video praising three medal-winning stars at this year’s games: gymnast Simone Biles, swimmer Katie Ledecky and sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson.
“Never be afraid to show them who you are, especially when the whole world is watching,” Swift says as her 2015 hit “Style” plays in the background. “Because there is no one way to be the best. No one way to inspire everyone else who will someday follow.”
The inspiring clip opens with written quote from fashion icon Coco Chanel, followed by a shot of Biles at the vault, then moving to Richardson confidently walking on a field, and Ledecky fiercely swimming in a pool.
“You do what you love. You love what you do,” Swift says as more competition footage is shown. “You believe in your style, whatever it is.”
The video concludes with Swift name-checking the three women as shots of the athletes gleefully winning their medals flash across the screen.
“Katie, Sha’Carri and Simone,” the pop star says. “Three American stars. Three different visions of greatness. Tonight, in Paris.”
Last weekend, Swift’s live version of “…Ready for It?” from The Eras Tour was the soundtrack to a NBC commercial promoting the network’s coverage of the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
“So ready to scream at my tv cheering for these athletes,” Swift reacted in an Instagram Story, adding a gold medal emoji to her comment while sharing a reel of the “…Ready for It?” promo.
The spot featured U.S. Olympic stars including Noah Lyles, LeBron James, Carissa Moore, Jagger Eaton and more, with Biles appearing at the end of the ad.
