Simone Biles is a proud Swiftie, and their friendship and mutual respect go way back. Remember the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, when Taylor Swift made a heartfelt tribute to Simone for her resilience? Fast forward to the Paris Olympics 2024, and Simone brought Taylor along for the ride in the most epic way. Throughout 2024, Simone has been sprinkling a little Taylor magic into her routines.

The GOAT didn’t just bring back her signature move, the “Biles II”—a jaw-dropping triple-double with two flips and three twists first landed at the 2019 World Championships. She’s been rocking her floor routine to Taylor Swift’s song “…Ready For It?” And guess what? Taylor herself couldn’t get enough of it, saying, “Watched this so many times and still unready. She’s ready for it tho.” But just watching it on screen wasn’t enough!

Rumor has it that Taylor Swift might just be in the Bercy Arena for the Team Final tonight at the Paris Olympics! GymCastic posted on X, “Rumor: Taylor Swift will be in the arena for the Team Final tonight. #Paris2024 #ArtisticGymnastics.” Can you imagine the excitement? Simone and Taylor’s paths might cross again in this heartfelt surprise!

Sadly, not long after the buzz started, Nancy Armour from USA TODAY Sports reported that “Sadly, the rumor is not true.” But hey, the mutual admiration between Simone Biles and Taylor Swift is real and was undeniably evident when Swift herself had a glowing reaction!

Biles responded with pure joy, telling TODAY’s Hoda Kotb, “I do love her. She is so sweet.” But that’s not all! On Day 2 of the Paris Olympics during the qualifiers, the 27-year-old athlete executed a near-flawless routine on the uneven bars, despite suffering a minor calf injury during warmups. But what really caught everyone’s eye was after she completed her final event.

Simone waved to the crowds and embraced her teammates but she also made a familiar heart-hand gesture—a signature move for Swift and her loyal fans. But did you know that these sweet exchanges are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Simone Biles and Taylor Swift’s long-standing admiration for each other?
