Taylor Swift was very familiar with the song Simone Biles used to kick off her floor routine during Friday’s 2024 U.S. Olympic trials.
During day 2 of the competition, Biles delivered a stellar floor routine which began with Swift’s hit, “Ready for It.” Bringing the energy, Biles executed a number of flips during her quest to claim a spot on the 2024 Olympic gymnastics team.
Swift, 34, caught wind of the video — after it was shared on the official U.S. Olympics and Paralympics X (formally Twitter) account.
“Watched this so many times and still unready. She’s ready for it tho👏👏👏🥇🇺🇸❤️,” Swift replied to the video on Saturday while on her Eras Tour run in Dublin.
On Sunday, the Olympic trials concluded and the official women’s gymnastics team was announced.
Biles, a 37-time Olympic medalist, secured her spot and officially heads to Paris for her third Olympic games. Suni Lee, Jade Carey and Jordan Chiles — and 16-year-old Junior World silver medalist Hezly Rivera, complete the team.
Biles’ return to the games comes after she made a dramatic exit during the 2020 Tokyo games, after experiencing a mental block during the competition known in the gymnastics world as the “twisties.”
Biles and a host of other American athletes are set to head to Paris later this month to represent Team USA during the Olympic games, which kick off on July 23.
As for Swift, she is currently in the middle of her Eras Tour — which wrapped a weekend run in Dublin, Ireland, on Sunday. In attendance to cheer her on from the VIP section was her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and longtime Swiftie, Julia Roberts.
