Taylor Swift Honors Simone Biles, Sha’Carri Richardson, and Katie Ledecky in Epic Olympic Tribute Video

Taylor Swift has paid tribute to Olympic champions Simone Biles, Sha’Carri Richardson, and Katie Ledecky in a new video for the Paris 2024 Olympics. The video, narrated by Swift, aired during NBC’s Primetime Olympics on August 3 and was set to her hit song “Style” from her re-released album, *1989*.

The promo showcases moments from the Games, including Biles on the gymnastics mat, Richardson on the track, and Ledecky diving into the pool. Swift’s voiceover encourages athletes to embrace their true selves, especially when the world is watching. “There’s no one way to be the best or to inspire others,” she says, as the video highlights each athlete’s unique journey.

Swift’s message resonates with the theme of believing in your own style, with the video ending on a high note as she acknowledges the three athletes as American icons. The tribute honors Biles, who now has 10 Olympic medals, Ledecky with her impressive collection of over 14 Olympic medals, and Richardson, who won her first Olympic silver in the 100-meter final.

Swift’s connection with these Olympians, especially Biles, goes beyond this promo. During the 2024 U.S. Olympic Gymnastics Trials, Biles performed to Swift’s song “…Ready For It?” Swift shared her admiration for Biles on social media, showing their mutual respect and support. This isn’t the first time Swift has honored Biles; she previously created a heartfelt video tribute for her during the Tokyo 2021 Olympics, recognizing the immense pressure faced by the gymnast. The bond between Swift and Biles continues to be one of mutual admiration and inspiration.
