Taylor Swift lent her voice to narrate a promo video honoring three of US female athletes participating in the 2024 Paris Olympics. The promo video, telecast on August 3 during NBC's Primetime Olympics coverage, saw Swift singing praises about sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson, gymnast Simone Biles and swimmer Katie Ledecky.
Swift narrated words of inspiration over a video montage of the three athletes representing Team USA at the 2024 Olympics as her track Style played in the background.
“Never be afraid to show them who you are, especially when the whole world is watching. Because there is no one way to be the best. No one way to inspire everyone else who will someday follow. You do what you love. You love what you do. You believe in your style, whatever it is. Katie, Sha’Carri and Simon… Three American stars. Three different visions of greatness. Tonight, in Paris.”
