Simone Biles hopes to make her third trip to the Olympic Games in Paris this summer, and she has one superstar fan cheering her on from afar: Taylor Swift.
The gymnast, who has earned seven career medals at the Olympics, performed to a medley that included the Swift song ”...Ready For It?” during her floor routine at the U.S. Olympic trials in Minneapolis on Friday.
Biles ended the day in the lead with an all-around score of 58.900.
Swift took time out of her Eras Tour stops in Dublin this weekend to show love to Biles on social media.
“Watched this so many times and still unready. She’s ready for it tho👏👏👏🥇🇺🇸❤️,” wrote Swift, who once brought Biles to tears over her video tribute to the athlete during the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.

Biles, who ended her floor routine to the Travis Scott and Beyoncé song “Delresto (Echoes),” started performing to the Swift-featuring medley at the 2024 Core Hydration Classic last month.
She told NBC that her agent suggested performing to Swift in the new floor routine, which is choreographed by French dancer Gregory Milan.
“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,” Biles said.
She is expected to join Team USA’s Paris Olympics squad after the second day of the women’s trials on Sunday.
