Olympic gymnast Simone Biles famously uses a Taylor Swift song for her awe-inspiring floor routines, but the bond between the two superstars actually goes way deeper…
Her 2024 gymnastics routine to “...Ready For it?” was instantly iconic — but the connection between Team USA’s Simone Biles and Taylor Swift actually goes way back, with the two superstars publicly supporting each other many times over the years.
Swift has been declaring her support for Team USA as far back as 2016, when she wished Biles and the team good luck in the Rio Olympics over Twitter. But the pair didn’t meet in person until 2017, when Biles was in attendance at a Super Bowl party that Swift performed at in Houston, Texas. A long-term Swiftie, she shared this photo on Instagram at the time Then, in 2021, Biles struggled at the Tokyo Olympics, and opted to withdraw herself from several events, citing mental health reasons.
The next connection between the women was earlier this year, when Biles gave an interview to Vanity Fair in which she reflected on her fame in relation to Swift. “I think everyone wants to be famous, and then when it happens, you almost hit a wall and you have an identity crisis,” she said. “You’re like, Am I made out for this? Why did I wish for this? I’m not saying that scream and line up like I’m Taylor Swift, I still get a lot of attention.
Milan’s effort paid off; the now iconic routine caught the attention of Swift herself, who wrote via X, “Watched this so many times and still unready. She’s ready for it tho.
