Taylor Swift Pays Tribute To Team USA In New Olympics Ad

Taylor Swift is honoring Team USA’s Olympic success, especially some of the Games’ biggest stars. On Aug. 4, NBC shared a video narrated by the singer featuring the highlights of gymnast Simone Biles, swimmer Katie Ledecky, and sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The one-minute, 20-second clip begins with a quote from the famed Parisian fashion designer Coco Chanel: “Every day is a fashion show and the world is your runway.” Swift’s 2015 hit “Style” then begins to play over footage of the three U.S. Olympians.

“Never be afraid to show them who you are,” Swift says. “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.”

“Katie, Sha’Carri, and Simone,” the singer adds. “Three American stars, three different visions of greatness, tonight in Paris.”

NBC’s latest ad comes after Richardson sprinted her way to a silver medal in the women’s 100-meter final. Meanwhile, Ledecky won her ninth gold medal at the 2024 Summer Games, and Biles took home her 10th medal, underlining her status as the most decorated U.S. gymnast in Olympic history.

This isn’t the first time a Swift song has made its mark at the 2024 Paris Olympics. During Biles’ floor routine on Aug. 2, she began with the instrumental from the singer’s 2017 Reputation single “Ready for It?” and went on to secure the individual all-around gold.

Queen Bey’s Olympic Ad

Beyoncé also recently paid tribute to Biles’ Olympic journey through an NBC ad. Released on Aug. 1, the clip narrated by Queen Bey begins with footage of Biles competing as the Cowboy Carter track “Just for Fun” plays.

“Let’s talk about power because, really, that’s what this story is about,” Beyoncé says. “Physical power, its beauty, its wonder, the way it never stops amazing you. Then there’s spiritual power, the kind that really matters. The power you can’t see, only sense.”
