Taylor Swift opens the Eras tour in Paris
Taylor Swift has released a new promo video for the Olympics, saluting gymnast Simone Biles, swimmer Katie Ledecky, and sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson.
Swift’s single, Style, from the re-released version of her album 1989, plays alongside her narration in the minute-long clip.
From our partners:
“Never be afraid to show them who you are,” Swift says. “Especially when the whole world is watching. Because there’s no one way to be the best. No one way to inspire everyone else who will someday follow. You do what you love. You love what you do. You believe in your style, whatever it is.”
Footage of Biles, Ledecky, and Richardson competing in Paris rolls through the video.
“Katie, Sha’Carri, and Simone,” Swift finishes. “Three American stars, three different visions of greatness, tonight in Paris.”
Swift’s promo video follows one by Beyoncé. That one focused on Biles, who is leading what she’s calling a “redemption tour” with her fellow U.S. gymnasts.
“Let’s talk about power, because really, that’s what this story is about. Physical power. It’s beauty, it’s wonder, the way it never stops amazing you,” Beyoncé says in that promo video. “Then there’s spiritual power, the kind that really matters. The power you can’t see, only sense. The power you need in those moments when life goes a little sideways on you.”
