Taylor Swift was stunned that Simone Biles used her song “Ready For It” during her U.S. gymnastics qualification for the Paris Olympics.

Biles, 27, a four-time Olympic champion, was fighting for her spot on the team for next month’s Games in France and was inspired by Swift in her floor exercise on Friday.

Swift is currently touring Europe as part of her hugely successful Eras Tour, with her last shows taking place in Dublin, but the singer still credits Biles as an inspiration for her music.

Responding to the footage shared by the NBC Olympics account on X, Swift wrote, “Watched it so many times and I’m still not ready. But she is ready for it.”

Biles retweeted Swift’s comment but did not respond directly to the singer.

Like Swift with Travis Kelce, Biles had her own NFL cheerleader this week to support her in her attempt to punch her ticket to the Olympics.

Jonathan Owens, who traded from the Green Bay Packers to the Chicago Bears in the offseason, cheered on Biles at the Target Center in Minneapolis.

Swift has now been busy for two months with her “Eras” dates in Europe, which run until mid-August.

On Sunday evening she will play her last show in Dublin before appearances in Amsterdam, Zurich and Milan.

Last week in London, Kelce joined Swift onstage for a performance of “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.”
