On Friday, July 26, 2024’s Paris Olympics got underway, with singers and celebrities coming out to celebrate. Beyoncé, who is arguably the most famous of them all, recently assisted in introducing Team USA while sporting the colors of her COWBOY CARTER.

During the Opening Ceremony primetime coverage on NBC and Peacock, the legend made her album’s smash song “YA YA” unique. She said, “Get a look at America, y’all,” as the athletic footage played. These aspirations and hopes. These celebrities who stand in for us. The citizens of this vast, audacious, stunning, and intricate country.

“Go ahead, please. You have to be in love with Sha’Carri Richardson and Noah Lewis. The world’s quickest man and woman combined. Everywhere, at any time, they will race the earth. Alternatively, Caeleb [Dressel]? “Back in the drink for more gold, proud papa,” she said. And Ledecky, Katie? She gets better at swimming the longer the race. And I’m sure you’re familiar with Simone [Biles], my girl. Destined to inspire, born to soar. We have legends as well as superstars.

Other Team USA cameos were the women’s gymnastics team members Jade Carey, Sunisa Lee, Jordan Chiles, and Hezly Rivera; the men’s team members were represented by Fred Richard, Brody Malone, Paul Juda, Asher Hong, and Stephen Nedoroscik.

“That excitement and that pride. I see something appealing about this crew. And for that reason, I have faith in this group. I’m excited to watch what they do over the course of the next 16 days because of this. Beyoncé said, “America, let’s show off Team USA—the best of who we are.”

The star of “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM” became a part of NBC’s extensive roster of celebrity appearances. SZA and Biles competed in a friendly handstand competition earlier in November 2023, and Megan Thee Stallion starred in a commercial for the Olympic equestrian disciplines.
