US EditionTaylor Swift sends surprise message to U.S. Olympic team ahead of opening ceremony
- On Friday, Taylor Swift sent a pre-taped message to athletes during the Milan-Cortina opening ceremony at San Siro Stadium in Milan.
- Swift timed her message to thank athletes and acknowledge their sacrifices, coinciding with the release of the 'Opalite' music video from The Life of a Showgirl on Apple Music and Spotify Premium Friday.
- NBC streamed opening-ceremony coverage from 1:40 p.m. ET with a 2 p.m. kickoff, and Swift's clip aired roughly two hours before the ceremony in a pre-taped video wearing a Team USA sweatshirt saying `I just wanted to say thank you.`
- The surprise clip briefly stole attention hours before the opening ceremony and surprised Team USA as NBC amplified the message by sharing the video via its official NBC Olympics & Paralympics X account.
- Following a similar incident last year, the World Anti-Doping Agency investigates ski jumpers for alleged hyaluronic acid injections, prompting rule changes by the International Ski and Snowboard Federation.
