During this phase, Biles performed a “triple-double” which the commentator described as “the hardest tumbling pass in the world”.

Taylor watched and wrote on social media platform X on June 29: “I’ve seen this so many times and I’m still not ready. But she is ready for it.” She added handclapping emojis, as well as US flag emojis and a gold medal emoji.

Accordingly People, During Taylor’s shows in Dublin, Ireland, she wore a skirt and top outfit in the colors of the Irish flag for the 1989 section, and also told the crowd that their album folklore “just belongs to Ireland.” She added: “I imagined the world of the album to be like Ireland. Storytelling with lots of different characters.”
