The Paris Games have just kicked off, and it seems like Team USA has found its unofficial spokesperson in none other than Beyoncé. The iconic singer, who recently allowed Vice President Kamala Harris to use her song ‘Freedom’ for her presidential campaign, has now shown her support for American athletes like Simon Biles, LeBron James, Sha’Carri Richardson, and more. In a video released during the primetime replay of the Opening Ceremony, Beyoncé revamped her hit song ‘YA YA’ to cheer on the hometown team. She emphasized the hopes, dreams, and pride of these athletes, declaring them as superstars representing the best of America.
Marquee Moment in Paris
While other celebrities like Lady Gaga and Celine Dion also made appearances during the opening ceremony, Beyoncé’s shout-out to the American athletes stood out as a marquee moment. In a media and rain-soaked day in the City of Light, Beyoncé’s tribute to the athletes of America, a nation she described as “big, bold, beautiful, and complicated,” captured the attention of viewers worldwide. Even NFL legend and NBC Olympics commentator Preston Manning acknowledged the power of Beyoncé’s words, suggesting that she should be the one doing all the talking.
