Taylor Swift Praises ‘Three American Stars’ in New Olympics Video: ‘Never Be Afraid to Show Them Who You Are’
Taylor Swift is cheering on Team USA at the 2024 Olympic Games!
The singer, 34, narrated a new promotional video for NBC Olympics on Saturday, Aug. 3, praising three of the team’s star athletes; Simone Biles, Sha’Carri Richardson and Katie Ledecky, who have all won medals at the games this year.
The inspiring video begins with a shot of a swimming pool as Swift’s 2015 hit song “Style” starts playing, followed by a frame of Biles, 27, at the vault and then Richardson, 24, walking on a field and Ledecky in the pool.
“Never be afraid to show them who you are, especially when the whole world is watching,” Swift says as clips of Biles, Richardson and Ledecky, 27, competing in their sports and interacting with fans are shown. “Because there is 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,” Swift continued. The lyric from her song, “We never go out of style,” then played before she continued to narrate, saying, “You believe in your style, whatever it is.”

“Katie, Sha’Carri and Simone,” Swift said as more shots of the three competitors winning medals was shown, as well as Biles holding up her sparkling goat necklace.
“Three American stars. Three different visions of greatness. Tonight, in Paris,” the pop superstar concluded.
Posting the video on X (formerly Twitter), NBC Olympics wrote: “Never be afraid to show them who you are … especially when the whole world is watching,” tagging Swift. “Katie. Sha’Carri. Simone. They’ll never go out of style … #ParisOlympics.”
On Saturday, Aug. 3, Biles won the gold medal in the individual vault final — her third of the 2024 Olympic Games and seventh overall — while Ledecky won her ninth Olympic gold medal in the women’s 800-meter freestyle. Richardson, meanwhile, brought home the silver at the women’s 100-meter final.
Swift’s narration of the new promotional video for the Olympics comes after her song “…Ready for It?” was featured in NBC’s previous promotional video for the games on July 27. Sharing the video in a post on Instagram Stories the same day, she wrote, “So ready to scream at my TV cheering for these athletes 🏅.”
The “Karma” singer is currently in Europe performing her Eras tour. On Saturday night, Swift performed her third and final consecutive show in Warsaw, Poland.
During the show, Swift surprised the sold-out crowd by performing a mashup of The Tortured Poets Department track “The Black Dog” and folklore breakup song “exile” featuring Bon Iver for the fourth time on the Eras Tour.
