Fans at the 2026 Olympic Games were left surprised by Taylor Swift after the singer introduced USA figure skaters in a new promo for the games.
This comes after NBC shared a preview showcasing the talents of skaters, Amber Glenn, Alysa Liu, and Isabeau Levito, who are known as 'The Blade Angels'.
In a voiceover, with her new single, 'Opalite' playing in the background, Swift can be heard saying: "Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to introduce you to Amber, Alysa and Isabeau, three American showgirls on ice who will capture your heart with their stories".
Sharing the backstory of each athlete, Swift added: "Amber will be the first to tell you about how many battles she's fought, and about how the ones she's lost have meant as much as the wins. Her superpower now is embracing the fight and daring the world to test her self-belief.
"As for Alyssa, she walked away from skating when she was 16 but then came back on her own terms. Joy fuels her now. Every jump, a celebration. Every performance, a testament to the beauty of knowing yourself".
Speaking about Levito, Taylor Swift referred to her connection with the games, which are taking place across multiple cities in Lombardy and Northeast Italy.
"And then, Isabeau. I mean, she's destiny personified. Her mom grew up in Milan, and her Nonna, her grandma, lived exactly 13 minutes from the Olympic rink," she added. "When you skate like you're meant to be out there, history has a funny way of showing up".
Previously to this, Taylor Swift also supported athletes at Milano Cortina, when she recorded a video which aired at the opening ceremony.
"I am very grateful for everything you've done to get to this point in your life and grateful that you've brought all of us along on this journey," she said in the pre-taped clip. "Wishing you all the best of luck and a safe journey, and I hope this is an experience you cherish for the rest of your life".
