Taylor Swift Reacts to Simone Biles Using ‘…Ready for It’: ‘Watched This So Many Times and Still Unready’

Taylor Swift is in awe of Simone Biles’ talent!

The Olympic champion gymnast, 27, used Swift’s track “Ready for It” for the beginning part of her floor routine during day 2 of the 2024 U.S. Olympic Gymnastics Trials on Friday, June 28, and the pop superstar, 34, has shared her thoughts about it.

“Watched this so many times and still unready. She’s ready for it tho👏👏👏🥇🇺🇸❤” Swift wrote on X on Saturday, June 29, in reaction to a video of the routine posted by the NBC Olympics & Paralympics account.

In the clip, Biles begins her routine to Swift’s track from her 2017 album Reputation, even performing what a commentator described as the “hardest tumbling pass in the world,” — the triple-double — as the song played.

A seven-time Olympic medalist, Biles previously made history in 2019 when she was the first woman to perform the tricky gymnastics move during the U.S. Gymnastics Championships in Kansas City, Mo. that year.

The superstar gymnast also used the Travis Scott track “Delresto (Echoes),” which features Beyoncé during her June 28 floor routine and her performance in the event helped her finish the first half of the women’s qualifying in first place.

Her routines on the floor, the bars and on vault meant she was able to overcome a few wobbles in the beam event and still finish on top.

While Biles has been wowing the crowds at the Target Center in Minneapolis and being cheered on by her mom Nellie, and her husband, Chicago Bears player Jonathan Owens, Swift has been delighting audiences during the latest European leg of her Eras Tour.

The singer is currently in Ireland, after celebrity-packed shows in London, England that even saw an on-stage cameo from her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs player, Travis Kelce.

Performing at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Friday 28 June and Saturday 29 June, Swift rocked the colors of the Irish flag during the 1989 section of her Friday show and the following day she talked to the audience about how she developed the fictional story of her fantasy-inspired pandemic-era album, Folklore, noting that it is connected to Ireland.

“Folklore in general, it just belongs in Ireland,” she explained to the audience after finishing her performance of “Cardigan.”

“How I imagined the album world looking [was like] Ireland. Storytelling with lots of different characters,” Swift added, referencing her stories in the album. “You guys have that on lock, too. That’s very Irish, the storytelling.”
