Swift\u2019s 2017 single \u201c\u2026.Ready for It?\u201d played as the 27-year-old began her routine in Paris.<\/p>\n
Simone Biles proved she was ready for it when she made history at the 2024 Summer Olympics \u2014 with the sounds of Taylor Swift carrying her to the finish.<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old gymnast won all-around gold Thursday night inside Paris\u2019 Bercy Arena, after dazzling audiences with an impeccably executed floor routine that kicked off with an instrumental clip lifted from Swift\u2019s 2017 Reputation single \u201c\u2026Ready for It?\u201d<\/p>\n
Biles\u2019 routine began with production from the single playing overhead, before it transitioned to another tune as she finished the set.<\/p>\n

In the end, Biles finished with an all-around score of 59.131, finishing ahead of Rebeca Andrade\u2019s score of 57.932 for Brazil, and fellow American gymnastics teammate Sunisa Lee, who posted 56.465 to take bronze.<\/p>\n
Biles has used \u201c\u2026.Ready for It?\u201d in her floor routine for weeks leading up to the Paris Olympics, including in June at the Olympic trials. Swift, who\u2019s currently performing the final stretch of her massive Eras Tour, even responded to Biles\u2019 usage of the song.<\/p>\n

To cap the occasion, Biles wore a silver goat necklace during her performance, referencing the fact that she\u2019s often referred to as the G.O.A.T. \u2014 the Greatest of All Time \u2014 in the sport.<\/p>\n
With her latest all-around gold, Biles also became the oldest gymnast to achieve the feat since 1952, when Soviet competitor Maria Gorokhovskaya took gold at age 30.<\/p>\n
Biles\u2019 incorporation of Swift into her routine isn\u2019t the 2024 Summer Olympics\u2019 only moment of pop star energy, as the sporting event kicked off last week with special performances by Lady Gaga, French-Malian recording artist Aya Nakamura, and global icon Celine Dion, who made her musical comeback while backdropped by the Eiffel Tower.<\/p>\n
