Fans Say Simone Biles Is 'Everything' For Using Taylor Swift Song in New Floor Routine at 2024 Olympic Trials
Simone Biles is hoping to make it to Paris for the 2024 Olympics, and from the looks of the first day of trials, she's definitely "Ready for It."
During Day 1 of the U.S. Olympic Team Gymnastic Trials in Minneapolis, Minn., on Friday, June 28, the 27-year-old athlete lived up to her reputation as the most decorated gymnast in history by giving a floor routine that was nothing short of killer—and she gave a little nod to Taylor Swift in the process.
Biles started out her floor routine on Friday with a snippet of Swift's 2017 hit song, "Ready For It?," kicking off her performance with quite a bang—and gymnastics fans and Swifties alike were completely eating it up.
"simone biles starting her floor routine with taylor swift is everything," one fan gushed on X after seeing a clip of Biles' performance, while someone else said, "A Simone Biles and Taylor Swift crossover just makes sense."
"Knew she was a KILLA!!!" another fan wrote, referencing the lyrics of Swift's song.

"Song is clearly 'ready for it?' and we still weren’t," someone else wrote in praise of the seven-time Olympic medalist.
Right off the bat, Biles landed a triple double, known as the "hardest tumbling pass in the entire world," according to the NBC Olympics announcers.
It made sense that Biles would come out strong to the Swift track, released on the singer's album reputation, which is chock-full of themes about coming back with a vengeance.
As we know, Biles famously pulled out of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics for mental health reasons, but it seems that she is back and better than ever.
So—as Swift would say, "Baby, let the games begin!"
