Taylor Swift, Beyoncé Celebrate Team USA in Paris Olympics 2024 Videos: 'Never Be Afraid to Show Them Who You Are'

Taylor Swift and Beyoncé are honoring some of the nation's top athletes at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The two pop superstars narrated new promotional videos paying tribute to some of Team USA's medalists at this year's Summer Olympics: gymnast Simone Biles, sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson, and swimmer Katie Ledecky.

On Saturday, Swift's video premiered before some final events, including the women's vault, 800-meter freestyle, and 100-meter sprint. Set to "Style" from "1989 (Taylor's Version)," the clip featured a montage of footage of Ledecky, Richardson, and Biles.

"Never be afraid to show them who you are, especially when the whole world is watching," Swift said as her 2015 hit played in the background. "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."

The motivational video began with a written statement from fashion queen Coco Chanel. Clips of Biles at the vault, Richardson walking confidently on a field, and Ledecky swimming fiercely in a pool then flashed on the screen.

"Katie, Sha'Carri, and Simone," Swift concluded. "Three American stars, three different visions of greatness, tonight in Paris."

Beyoncé also narrated a 2024 Paris Olympics promo clip released Thursday, highlighting Biles.

"Let's talk about power," Queen Bey said. "Because, really, that's what this story is about: Physical power. Its beauty, its wonder, the way it never stops amazing you. 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. And, of course, lasting power."

"Only a select few know what it feels like to get to the top and stay there and somehow keep getting better. Simone Biles inspires me, and I'm pretty sure she inspires you, too," she continued.

Beyoncé went on to praise the 10-time Olympic medalist for having "such confidence in her strength, such beauty in her power, [and] such a great lesson in her story."

"Brilliance, it doesn't come easy. Gold can be a hell of a journey, and the greatest of all time is willing to put that title on the line every time she walks out there. Take your best shot world. She's ready for you," the singer concluded.

The new clips came days after NBC dropped a Team USA introduction video led by the "Cowboy Carter" singer.

A reimagined version of Beyoncé's song "Ya Ya" provided the soundtrack for the video, which saw her dressed in fully customized Americana regalia, including a Thom Browne opera coat with the Olympic rings on the back, according to People.

Beyoncé also rocked a white bodysuit with "USA" emblazoned on the chest, cowgirl hat, and red, white and blue Stuart Weitzman cowboy boots.

The clip featured appearances by Biles and the rest of the women's gymnastics team -- including Jade Carey, Sunisa "Suni" Lee, Jordan Chiles and Hezly Rivera -- as well as men's gymnastics team members Fred Richard, Brody Malone, Paul Juda, Asher Hong, and Stephen Nedoroscik.
