As the 2024 Olympics kicked off in Paris, Beyoncé shared a video giving a heartfelt shoutout to Team USA athletes.
With a special mention for gymnast Simone Biles, whom she called “my girl.”
Beyoncé is crazy in love with Team USA.
The “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer welcomed the athletes competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
“Get a look at America, y’all,” Beyoncé said in NBC’s clip on July 26. “These hopes and dreams, these superstars that represent us—the people of the big, bold, beautiful, complicated nation.”
Beyoncé’s introduction included footage of USA athletes excelling in their individual sports.
The Grammy winner, 42, gave special shoutouts to a few “legends,” including track and field stars Noah Lyles and Sha’Carri Richardson and swimmers Caeleb Dressel and Katie Ledecky.
However, her most heartwarming mention went to Simone Biles, whom she referred to as “my girl.”
“Born to fly,” Beyoncé said of the gymnast. “Destined to inspire.”
Noting that the “pride and joy” of all the athletes is what makes her “believe in this team,”
The Cowboy Carter artist added, “That’s why I can’t wait to see what they pull off over these next 16 days.”
“America, give it up for Team USA, the very best of who we are,” she continued. “What a vision to behold, what a team to believe in, what a night to celebrate.”
While Beyoncé’s message deserves a gold medal, she wasn’t the only singer offering words of encouragement.
Céline Dion made her live performance comeback on the steps of Paris’ Eiffel Tower at Opening Ceremony.
Further, she also shared her admiration for the athletes competing in the Games.
“All of you have been so focused on your dream, and whether or not you take home a medal.
I hope that being here means that it has come true for you!” Céline wrote in a July 26 Instagram post.
“You should all be so proud, we know how hard you have worked to be the best of the best. Stay focused, keep going, my heart is with you!”
With the powerful support of iconic singers like Beyoncé and Céline Dion.
Team USA is ready to shine brightly in Paris.
The world watches with excitement and pride as these athletes give their all on the grand stage of the Olympics.
