Fans go wild for Beyonce’s ‘iconic’ Olympics promo for Team USA as singer stuns in America leotard

Beyonce is Team USA’s biggest hype woman. 

The songstress made a surprise appearance during the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony broadcast on NBC Friday night, as she introduced several American athletes. 

The Crazy In Love hitmaker rocked a red, white and blue ensemble, including a ‘USA’ leotard and a billowing cape, along with cowboy boots and a cowboy hat. 

‘Get a look at America, y’all,’ Beyonce began, as her hit song Ya Ya from her most recent album, Cowboy Carter, played in the background.

‘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’ve gotta love Noah [Lyles] and Sha’Carri [Richardson.] The fastest man and woman on the planet. They’ll race the world anytime, any place,’ she went on.

‘How about Caeleb? Proud papa, back in the drink for more gold. And Katie? The longer the race, the better she swims,’ she continued, referencing swimmers Caeleb Dressel and Katie Ledecky. 

‘And I know you know my girl Simone. Born to fly, destined to inspire. We’ve got superstars and we’ve got legends. We’ve got big dreamers who fought their whole lives to get here. Who gave up everything for one shot, and made it.’

Several images of America’s star athletes flashed on screen, interspersed with shots of the Grammy winner twirling around in her red, white and blue ‘fit.  

‘That pride and that joy? That’s what gets me about this team. And that’s what makes me believe in this team. And that’s why I can’t wait to see what they pull off over these next 16 days. America, give it up for Team USA, the very best of who we are. What a vision to behold. What a team to believe in. What a night to celebrate.’

‘My girl Simone [Biles]. Born to fly, destined to inspire,’ she said of the gymnast

Fans were quick to react to the rousing hype video on social media.  

‘Beyoncé introduced Team USA at the Paris Olympics. Iconic!’ one fan wrote on X. 

‘My heart swells with patriotism,’ another chimed in. 

‘That was AMAZING!’ another third fan wrote, while someone else added, ‘She is the moment.’ 

NBC commentators Kelly Clarkson and Peyton Manning also reacted to the clip when coverage returned to the regular opening ceremony broadcast in France’s capital. 

‘Y’all, and what about Beyoncé?’ Clarkson said. ‘Just kicking everything off and getting everybody amped for this. I couldn’t think of a more perfect artist to do that for these athletes.’

Manning chimed in with a reference to the Team USA basketball coach. 

‘If I’m Steve Kerr, I’m showing that video before my game. Let Beyoncé do all the talking,’ the former NFL player said.
