BREAKING NEWS: Simone Biles Gives Subtle Nod to Taylor Swift During Olympic Floor Routine Practice her Reaction was superb

Who says Olympic training can’t have a touch of top-chart flair? Simone Biles turned her practice session into a pop-infused spectacle, channeling none other than Taylor Swift. On Thursday, July 25, the 27-year-old gymnastics superstar added a spark to her routine by syncing her movements to Swift’s hit, “Ready For It?” Her choice in music wasn’t just for show — Biles was in full preparation mode, demonstrating precision and poise.

Highlight of the session was her flawless execution of the Yurchenko double pike vault, also known as “Biles II.” Named after her for being the first woman to perform it, this move is as challenging as it is breathtaking, boasting a 6.4 difficulty rating. But risks didn’t deter Biles; she nailed the landing perfectly, a clear signal of her readiness to dazzle and dominate at Sunday’s competition. From a solid start on the balance beam to her dynamic floor exercise — which opened to Swift’s catchy tune — Biles’ podium training was nothing short of a masterclass in gymnastics excellence.

However, this wasn’t a new twist in Biles’ playbook. She paired her routine with the sounds of Swift at the 2024 U.S. Olympic trials. On Friday, June 28, the crowd was captivated as Biles launched her floor routine with the same infectious song, “Ready For It?” A clip of the event, now circulating on NBC Olympics and Paralympics X’s official account, captures the four-time Olympic gold gymnast in her element. She executed a series of jaw-dropping flips, each move a step towards securing her place on the 2024 Olympic gymnastics team.

Quick to acknowledge the standout performance, Taylor Swift herself didn’t miss a beat to express her admiration. While on the European leg of her Eras Tour in Dublin, the 14-time Grammy winner took to social media on Saturday, June 29. She shared her excitement, posting, “Watched this so many times and still unready. She’s ready for it tho❤️,” applauding Biles’ flawless execution.

This wasn’t the first occasion Biles had chosen Swift’s “Ready For It?” to accompany her floor routine. The song also featured at the 2024 Core Hydration Classic back in May, proving to be a lucky charm for the gymnast.
