Could it be that the world’s most decorated gymnast and the most famous female popstar will both be at Lambeau Field this Sunday?
There’s still no official confirmation on whether Taylor Swift will be in attendance at this weekend’s Packers-Chiefs game, but Simone Biles said she will be.
An image of Swift and Biles sharing a suite, cheering on their respective teams, just might break the internet. After all, they’re two of the country’s most powerful and accomplished women in their fields.
It’s unlikely we’ll spot Swift wearing a cheesehead or sporting the classic Packers green since she’s dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Biles, on the other hand, is a Packer through and through now that her husband, Jonathan Owens, is a Packers safety.
Putting the opposing team rivalry aside, could this be the start of a beautiful friendship between Swift and Biles?
It’s not clear whether the two have met in-person, but they definitely know of each other (how could they not?) and have conversed over social media, sharing mutual admiration and praise.
Swift narrated Biles’ introduction before bronze-winning beam routine at Tokyo Olympics
The world anticipated Biles to not only return to the Olympic stage in Tokyo in 2021 but to dominate the competition, since she won gold in the all-around five years’ prior and showed no signs of slowing down. (The 2020 Olympics were postponed to 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.)
But she withdrew from all-around event as well as the team final, citing her mental health. Biles ended up competing on the beam, winning bronze.
Gold or bronze no matter, one superstar was rooting for her and singing her praises. Ahead of her routine, Biles’ video introduction on NBC was narrated by Swift who called Biles a hero.
“Throughout the last week, her voice has been as significant as her talents,” Swift said. “Her honesty as beautiful as the perfection that had long been her signature.”
Biles said on X, formerly known as Twitter, that the video made her cry, gushing that she loves Swift.
Swift responded that she cried watching Biles perform and thanked her for her resilience: “I cried watching YOU. I feel so lucky to have gotten to watch you all these years, but this week was a lesson in emotional intelligence and resilience. We all learned from you. Thank you.”
Biles teases possible Swift meet-up at Lambeau
Back in October on the “Today” show, Biles said that, since her season was over, she’s excited to spend the holidays in Green Bay supporting her husband.
“Today” co-anchor Hoda Kotb asked whether Biles would be at the Dec. 3 game between the Packers and Chiefs, saying she’d love a Swift-Biles photo op.
