Taylor Swift has watched Simone Biles’ US Olympic Gymnastics Trials routine “so many times”.
The singer, 34, paid tribute to the athlete, 27, after she used Taylor’s ‘Ready for It’ track to soundtrack the start of her floor routine during day two of the 2024 try-outs.
She said on X after a clip of Simone’s full routine was shared by the NBC Olympics and Paralympics: “Watched this so many times and still unready. “She’s ready for it tho (three hand-clapping, gold medal, US flag and red heart emojis.)”
Simone started her routine to Taylor’s tune from her 2017 album ‘Reputation’ while performing a triple-double – which, according to the commentator in the clip is the “hardest tumbling pass in the world”.
The gymnast made history with the move when she became the first woman to do it during the US Gymnastics Championships in Kansas City, Missouri, in 2019.
Simone also ended her routine with Travis Scott’s ‘Delresto (Echoes)’ track, which features Beyoncé.
Her performance in the event helped her finish in first place during the first half of the women’s qualifying.
