But she cleared time in her busy schedule to put together a hype video in collaboration with NBC.

“So ready to scream at my tv cheering for these athletes,” Swift captioned a post on her Instagram Story.

The video features the likes of LeBron James, Noah Lyles, Sha’Carri Richardson, and Simone Biles talking over highlight videos with Ready For It in the background. 

The song was filmed live from Paris as part of Swift’s Eras Tour.

“Are you guys ready for it?,” Biles asks at the end of the video.

“Taylor swift…… baby let the games begin,” commented one fan.

“MISS AMERICANA SUPPORTING TEAM USA THATS POETRY,” added another.

A third posted: “Going to cheer like we just won gold!!!”

The video has only increased speculation that Swift will make an appearance at the Games.

She has several days off in her schedule, including August 11 – the date of the closing ceremony.

Swift paid tribute to Biles, 27, in 2021 after she withdrew from the Tokyo Olympics. 

“I’m crying, how special. I love you @taylorswift13,” Biles wrote on social media in response.

“I cried watching YOU. I feel so lucky to have gotten to watch you all these years, but this week was a lesson in emotional intelligence and resilience. We all learned from you. Thank you,” replied Swift.

NBC invited Swift to perform at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China. 

Her Fearless Tour got in the way but her songs did feature in promos.

“I wrote the song Change as an underdog story,” Swift told The Boot.

“It’s kind of crazy to think that the Olympics chose this as one of the songs to play during the Olympic Games.”

Biles enjoyed her first action in Paris today in the gymnastics qualifiers.

She was the star of the field in women’s qualifying, helping Team USA to qualify for the team final.

Biles put on an electric performance in front of celebrities such as Tom Cruise, Snoop Dogg and Ariana Grande.

The 27-year-old landed the Biles II vault, and managed a score of 15.800.

She became the first woman to land the vault in Olympic competition.
