She mentioned by name team members Noah Lyles, Sha’Carri Richardson, Caeleb Dressel, Katie Ledecky, and Simone Biles in her pre-recorded video kicking off the big event.

“Come on, you’ve got to love Noah and Sha’Carri, the fastest man and woman on the planet. They’ll race the world anytime, anyplace. How about Caeleb? Proud papa, back in the drink for more gold. And Katie, the longer the race, the better she swims. And I know you know my girl Simone—born to fly, destined to inspire,” Beyoncé said in her video. “We’ve got superstars and we’ve got legends, we’ve got big dreamers who’ve fought their whole lives to get here, who gave up everything for one shot and made it.

She continued, “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 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.”
