Simone Biles is ready for it — both the 2024 Olympics and Taylor Swift's praise.
The seven-time Olympic medalist rocked the mat on Friday, June 28, for the U.S. Olympic Gymnastics Trials in Minneapolis, throwing some of the hardest tricks the sport has ever seen — in true Biles form.
For the start of her floor routine, Biles used the instrumental version of Swift's song, “…Ready for It” from her 2017 Reputation album. The dramatic tune set the tone for the rest of the routine and Biles came out on top.
Team USA's gymnastics team is set to be announced after the completion of Sunday's events, but Simone Biles is likely to be chosen for the 2024 Paris Olympics this July.
Biles received a standing ovation after she pulled a Yurchenko double pike on the vault. As of Sunday morning, Biles led the all-around standings for the weekend with a score of 58.900.
After the trials, Biles shared photos and videos on Instagram Stories of herself and her husband, Chicago Bears player Jonathan Owens, getting celebratory drinks and him surprising her with Louis Vuitton bags.
Meanwhile, Taylor Swift is continuing her multi-billion dollar world tour, finishing out the weekend of shows in Dublin, Ireland. Following her performance of “Cardigan,” Swift revealed that her award-winning 2020 album, folklore “belongs in Ireland.”
“How I imagined the album world looking [was like] Ireland. Storytelling with lots of different characters,” she continued. “You guys have that on lock, too. That's very Irish, the storytelling.”
Swift also said this album gave her the chance to play the “narrator” by sharing other stories other than her own.
