The opening day for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games was nothing short of entertaining. There was the parade of nations along the Seine River, Céline Dion's grand return and, of course, Lady Gaga's feather-filled performance. But perhaps one of the most memorable moments was seeing Beyoncé introduce Team USA in a dazzling promo video.
In the two-and-a-half-minute clip, which features a remixed version of Beyoncé's song, “YA YA,” the "Texas Hold 'Em" singer (42) donned a patriotic bodysuit and cowboy hat with sequined cowboy boots and a red, white and black cape. She gave the team a warm welcome and said, "Get a look at America, y'all. These hopes and dreams, these superstars that represent us—the people of the big, bold, beautiful, complicated nation."
After commending standout athletes like Sha'Carri Richardson and Caeleb Dressel, she gave a special shoutout to the world's most decorated gymnast. As the video cuts to flashbacks of her previous routines, the singer says, "I know you know my girl, Simone. Born to Fly. Destined to inspire."
