Simone Biles is once again going viral, proving she is still the GOAT despite dropping out of the 2020 Olympics, citing mental health and the “twisties.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The 27-year-old’s floor routine kicked off with a bang as the iconic thumps of Swift\u2019s \u201c\u2026 Ready For It?\u201d come over the loudspeakers. The gymnast wasted no time as she performed a few small dance moves before going into her first tumbling pass — a triple-double — which is the \u201chardest tumbling pass in the world,\u201d according to the commentator.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

After watching the jaw-dropping routine<\/span>, several sports fans commented on how incredible Biles is, calling her “Ms. GOAT” and “phenomenal.” Biles even caught Ms. Swift’s attention!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Taylor Swift Says She Watched Simone Biles’s Floor Routine ‘So Many Times’<\/h2>\n
\n

After NBC’s video of Simone Biles went viral, Taylor Swift took to social media to give the Olympian her stamp of approval!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Watched this so many times and still unready. She\u2019s ready for it tho,” Swift wrote on X, per People Magazine<\/em><\/span>, after seeing Biles’s performance, which was inspired by the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, a groundbreaking contemporary dance company founded by Ailey in 1958.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI wanted to have an Alvin Ailey mindset just because of what they represented,\u201d Gr\u00e9gory Milan, the French choreographer behind the routine, told the New York Times<\/em><\/span> of Biles’s routine. \u201cAt the beginning, I had in mind that she would do something that shows she\u2019s emerging, that she\u2019s breaking the barriers a bit of gymnastics to say: \u2018It\u2019s over now, I\u2019m not a little girl anymore. After everything I\u2019ve gone through, I\u2019m now a businesswoman, I\u2019m a married woman, I\u2019m a happy woman.’\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Throughout the performance, the seven-time Olympian moves with grace and elegance, something that was incorporated with a thought in mind.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI wanted her to appear noble with something very pure, with her magnificent arms, the look in her eyes. I wanted something more athletic, more square, more geometrical,\u201d Milan said of the choreography. \u201cSometimes you don\u2019t need too much, just a look, a way to position your arm, the way you carry a movement, and that\u2019s what Simone succeeded in doing.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“We feel she\u2019s at peace, she\u2019s happy, she\u2019s calm so that when she heads to the corner to do her big tumbling passes, she needs to feel grounded, feel strong, feel safe to start her tumbling pass,” he continued.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Reflecting On The 2020 Tokyo Olympics<\/h2>\n

Simone Biles dropped out of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics as she struggled with mental health and the pressure of being in the spotlight. Her decision sparked a conversation about the challenges star athletes encounter and listening to their bodies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“It’s really important to use that support system and know they’re there for you and not against you, because at the end of the day, us as humans, we hate asking for help,” Biles said<\/span> when advocating for mental health in 2021. “We think we can do it on our own, but sometimes we just can’t. So use every outlet given to you.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

After she decided to drop out, she thought the public would turn on her and that she would be “banned” from the U.S.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“I thought I was going to be banned from America \u2018cause that\u2019s what they tell you: ‘Don\u2019t come back if it’s not gold. Gold or bust. Don\u2019t come back,'” Biles said on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast<\/span>. “If I could\u2019ve got on a plane and flown home, I would\u2019ve done it. But as soon as I landed I was like ‘Oh, America hates me, the world is going to hate me, and I can only see what they’re saying on Twitter right now,’ that was my first thought.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
