Biles’ routine, which included a flawless triple-double, was praised by commentators as “the hardest tumbling pass in the world.”

Swift’s wholesome comment on the video, shared by NBC Olympics on X (formerly Twitter), read, “Watched this so many times and still unready. She’s ready for it tho,” accompanied by emojis of clapping hands, a gold medal, the American flag, and a red heart. This heartfelt message from Swift added to the excitement surrounding Biles’ impressive routine.
