Beyoncé Nearly Breaks the Internet in Video With Simone Biles, Team USA Stars

The 2024 Paris Olympics are officially underway following the conclusion of the opening ceremonies on July 26. While NBC aired the star-studded spectacle live from Paris, which includes performances from Lady Gaga and Celine Dion, they dropped a major surprise ahead of the primetime showing.

Just after Team USA's boat floated down the Seine River, NBC surprised viewers a video of Beyoncé introducing Team USA. The video features Simone Biles, the women's and men's national gymnastics team, while giving a shoutout to LeBron James, Noah Lyles, Sha'Carri Richardson, and more.

While Beyonce's song "YA YA" plays in the background, “Get a look at America, y’all,”the 42-year-old singer says. “These hopes and dreams, these superstars that represent us, the people of this big, bold, beautiful, complicated nation, all rooting together for them.”

“Come on, you got to love Noah and Sha’Carri the fastest man and woman on the planet, they’ll race the world any time, any place… How about Caeleb [Dressel] proud papa, back in the drink for more gold. And Katie, the longer the race, the better she swims.”

"I know you know my girl Simone born to fly, destined to inspire,”she adds. “We’ve got superstars and we’ve got legends. We’ve got big dreamers who fought their whole lives to get here."

While the video dropped late at night, it immediately went viral on social media. One woman responded , "THE #BEYLYMPICS EXACTLY," while one another person wrote , Oh wow. Talk about ICONIC." One viewer commented , "What a time to be alive!"
