Raisman is an accomplished gymnast who captained the US women's gymnastics teams at the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games. At the 2012 London Games, she won the gold medal in the team and individual floor exercise events and a bronze in the balance beam event. At the 2016 Rio Games, she won another gold in the team event and a silver in the all-around and floor exercise events.

Raisman retired in 2020 and busied herself with several sports-related engagements. She also took a stand against the former Olympic team physician Larry Nassar who was accused of sexually assaulting several women gymnasts over the years. She promoted the saying 'Always Speak Your Truth' by wearing a t-shirt with the same quote in Maroon 5's 'Girls Like You' music video.

Raisman had another musical experience from October 18-20 as Taylor Swift's Eras Tour made a stop at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. She attended the concert with her sibling Becky Raisman.

The 30-year-old shared glimpses from the show on Instagram, including a selfie with her sister and the countdown for Swift to take the stage. Another post featured Taylor Swift singing 'Don't Blame Me' from her 2017 album Reputation.

Raisman captioned the post:

After gaining popularity following her performances at the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games, Aly Raisman said she found it difficult to navigate her sudden rise to fame.

In an interview with the BBC in July 2024, the 30-year-old shared how the team's Olympic success surpassed her expectations and brought them into the public eye, even at coffee shops.

"I don't feel like I'll ever get used to [fame]; I'm still navigating it. I went from being in high school… to getting recognised when I go get coffee. I forget people sometimes know who I am! I never imagined that I would have achieved this, still getting recognised [eight years later]. I surpassed my expectations and I'm grateful for that," she said.

Aly Raisman was the hospitality ambassador at the 2024 Paris Olympics and Paralympics alongside former swimmer Michael Phelps.
