Taylor Swift Says She’s ‘Ready to Scream at My TV’ for Team USA as ‘…Ready for It?’ is Used in Olympics Video
A new version of the singer’s 2017 track was used in a promotional video for the Olympics, released on July 27
Taylor Swift is ready for the 2024 Paris Olympics!
The pop songstress, 34, shared her excitement at seeing Team USA compete in the Olympics as her song “…Ready for It?” was unveiled in NBC’s promotional video for the games on Saturday, July 27.
“So ready to scream at my TV cheering for these athletes 🏅,” Swift wrote, resharing the clip on her Instagram Stories and on Facebook.
NBC Olympics wrote on X (formerly Twitter) alongside the promo vid: “Baby Let The Games Begin. #WeAreReadyForIt,” tagging the singer. “Primetime in Paris: 8/7c on NBC and Peacock #ParisOlympics.”
The video began with a close-up shot of the Eiffel Tower in Paris lit up at night with, “…READY FOR IT? Live from Taylor Swift – The Eras Tour,” in block white letters to the side — referring to Swift’s live tour version of her 2017 song used in the clip — as a cheering crowd was heard.
Next appeared shots of the Olympic rings and a light display followed by clips of athletes from Team USA talking about how much competing in the Olympics means to them, including LeBron James.
Halfway through the clip, as the Olympic cauldron was seen flying upwards at the end of the opening ceremony in Paris, Swift said the lyric, “Are you ready for it?” Her song continued to play over montage shots of Team USA members competing in their sports.
