Taylor Swift Champions Team USA's 'Blade Angels' in Olympic Figure Skating Teaser
Global pop icon Taylor Swift has thrown her considerable star power behind Team USA's women's figure skating campaign in the lead-up to the Winter Olympic Games. The singer, who recently premiered the music video for her hit single 'Opalite,' has provided both her voice and the track as the soundtrack for a nearly two-minute primetime promotional clip.
Spotlight on American Skaters Amber Glenn, Alysa Liu, and Isabeau Levito
The video prominently features American skaters Amber Glenn, Alysa Liu, and Isabeau Levito, a trio collectively nicknamed the "Blade Angels." All three athletes are scheduled to compete on Tuesday night, with aspirations to advance to the free skate segment and ultimately contend for the coveted gold medal.
Taylor Swift assumes the role of narrator for the campaign, introducing the skaters as "American showgirls" in a compelling voiceover. "Ladies and gentlemen. I'd like to introduce you to Amber, Alysa and Isabeau," Swift narrates. "Three American showgirls on ice who will capture your heart with their stories."
Swift's Personal Narration for Each Skater
Delving into individual backgrounds, Swift offers personalized commentary for each member of the team. Speaking about Amber Glenn, she states, "Amber will be the first to tell you about how many battles she's fought. And how the ones she's lost have meant as much as the wins. Her superpower now is embracing the fight and daring the world to test her self belief."
Regarding Alysa Liu, Swift highlights her journey, saying, "As for Alysa, she walked away from skating when she was 16, but then came back on her own terms. Joy fuels her now. Every jump, a celebration. Every performance a testament to the beauty of knowing yourself."
For Isabeau Levito, Swift paints a picture of destiny, noting, "And then, Isabeau. I mean, she's destiny personified. Her mom grew up in Milan. And her Nonna, her grandma, lives exactly 13 minutes from the Olympic rink. When you can skate like you're meant to be out there, history has a funny way of showing up."
Swift concludes the narration by rallying support for the team, declaring, "They're teammates and friends. They call themselves the 'Blade Angels.' And tomorrow night they're taking center stage when the show starts in Milan."
Swift's Continued Support for Team USA Athletes
This campaign follows a previous surprise video message from Taylor Swift, where she wished Team USA athletes success at the Opening Ceremony of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina. In that clip, the singer, adorned in an official Team USA sweatshirt, expressed her gratitude and admiration.
"Hi, it's Taylor," Swift said in the message. "I just wanted to send a message to all the athletes that are competing in the Olympics. I just wanted to say thank you. Getting to learn your stories and see everything that you've sacrificed and all your determination and hard work and passion and everything that's gotten you to this point where you're so excellent at something, it's just really inspiring, and I am very grateful for everything you've done to get to this point in your life and grateful that you've brought us all along with you on this journey so we get to watch you do this."
She concluded with well-wishes, stating, "I just hope that you have a wonderful Olympic Games. Wishing you all the best of luck and a safe journey, and I hope this is an experience that you will cherish for the rest of your life. Bye!"
Synergy with 'Opalite' Music Video Release
Swift's promotional efforts for Team USA coincide strategically with the release of the music video for her latest single, 'Opalite,' from her 2025 album titled 'The Life of a Showgirl.' The high-profile video features cameo appearances by notable figures including Domhnall Gleeson, Jodie Turner-Smith, Greta Lee, Lewis Capaldi, Cillian Murphy, and Graham Norton.
This collaboration underscores the powerful intersection of entertainment and sports, leveraging Swift's massive platform to amplify the stories and ambitions of Olympic athletes on the world stage.
