As the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics began in earnest Friday afternoon during Opening Ceremony, "Miss Americana" herself joined the NBC broadcast in a Team USA sweatshirt.
Taylor Swift had some inspirational words for the Winter Olympic athletes:
"Hi, it's Taylor. I just wanted to send a message to all of the athletes competing in the Olympics. I just wanted to say 'thank you.' Getting to learn your stories and see everything that you've sacrificed and all your determination and hard work and passion and everything that's gotten you to this point where you're so excellent at something, it's just really inspiring and I am very grateful for everything you've done to get to this point in your life and grateful that you've brought us all along with you on this journey so we get to watch you do this. And I just hope that you have a wonderful Olympic Games. Wishing you all the best of luck and a safe journey and I hope that this is an experience that you will cherish for the rest of your life. Bye!"
