The singer applauded the iconic gymnast's impressive floor routine at the U.S. Olympic Gymnastics Trials, set to a medley that includes Swift's song '...Ready For It?'

Music sensation Taylor Swift applauded gymnast Simone Biles for her impressive floor routine at the Paris Olympic trials in Minneapolis, which incorporated an iconic Swift tune.

On Sunday, Biles, the most decorated gymnast in history with 37 Olympic and World Championship medals, just secured a spot on her third Olympic team, making her the fourth American woman to make three U.S. Olympic gymnastics teams.


The music she performed to starting with day one of the women's competition at the U.S. Olympic gymnastics trials on Friday was a medley that included Swift's ”...Ready For It?” from her 2017 album Reputation.

You can watch a clip shared by NBC Olympics & Paralympics here.

Swift was wrapping up her Eras Tour engagement in Dublin on Sunday before resuming the European leg of her tour in Amsterdam on July 4 when a circulating video of Bile's routine from Friday caught her attention.

The "Fortnight" singer was floored and took to X (formerly Twitter) to assure the gymnast that she's got this.

She commended the champ by incorporating the song lyrics, writing:

“Watched this so many times and still unready. She’s ready for it tho👏👏👏🥇🇺🇸❤️."

At last month's 2024 Core Hydration Classic, Biles debuted the captivating floor routine choreographed by French dancer Gregory Milan that she plans to perform at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The medley Biles performed to included music by another one of her favorite artists, Beyoncé.

It started with ”...Ready For It?” and ended with Queen Bey's July 2023 collaboration with rapper Travis Scott, “Delresto (Echoes)," from Scott's fourth studio album Utopia.

Biles told NBC of the song picks:

"My agent suggested Taylor Swift (and) then I found this Beyoncé song that I really liked and we kind of collabed it together."
"I do love Taylor Swift and I do love Beyoncé"
"Those are my girls!"

Swift was confident Biles was ready for it and fans were here for the sweet endorsement.

The song made Swifties even more eager for her to release her version of Reputation.

The yet-to-be-released Reputation (Taylor's Version) would make it the singer/songwriter's fifth of the six albums she will have re-recorded as part of reclaiming ownership of her music after the controversial selling of the original masters to record executive Scooter Braun followed by Shamrock Holdings.



Biles finished on Sunday with a two-day all-around score of 117.225.

At 27 years old, she is the oldest female American gymnast to make an Olympic gymnastics team since the 1950s.

She is now looking ahead and is ready for Paris.

“I knew I wasn’t done after the performances in Tokyo. Getting back in the gym and trusting the process with Cecile and Laurent,” said the seven-time Olympic medalist, referring to co-coaches Cecile and Laurent Landi.

“I knew I’d be back.”

Biles will be joined by Jordan Chiles, Sunisa Lee, Jade Carey, and Hezly Rivera for Team USA at the Paris summer games.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!
