During the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics, which aired on NBC on Friday night, American singer Beyoncé made an unexpected cameo and presented a number of American participants.
The “Drunk in Love” singer wore a red, white, and blue outfit that included a billowing cape, a “USA” leotard, 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.”
Simone Biles, Sha’Carri Richardson, Noah Lyles, Caeleb Dressel, and Katie Ledecky were among the squad members she called out.
she added “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 U.S.A., the very best of who we are. What a vision to behold. What a team to believe in. What a night to celebrate.”
