We’re less than a month away from the 2024 Olympic Games getting underway in Paris, France, which means that some of the best athletes in the U.S. are competing this weekend in qualifying trials.
And that group includes Simone Biles, arguably the greatest of all-time when it comes to gymnastics. The 27-year-old has four gold medals to her name – and a sliver and two bronze – and 23 golds from the World Championships.
USA Today wrote that Biles was “a lock for the Paris team even before Friday night,” but she impressed and wowed audiences anyways with a leading score of 58.900.
Biles turned the most heads on Friday night with a floor routine that USA Today’s Tom Schad described as “masterful” and one that fans of Taylor Swift would likely define as fantastic.
That’s because Biles uses a beat from a Swift song – “…Ready For It?” from 2017’s Reputation – in the beginning of her routine. The mix finishes up “Delresto (Echoes),” a track by Travis Scott featuring Beyonce.

…Ready for it?

According to NBC, Biles unveiled this floor routine using Swift’s song at the 2024 Core Hydration Classic in May.
She said after debuting it:
“Actually, my agent suggested Taylor Swift (and) 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!”
Perhaps Swift can take a break from her European tour and bounce over to Paris to see Biles use one of her songs in an awesome way.
