Simone Biles hasn’t been able to bond with Taylor Swift at an NFL game — at least, not yet.
“I’m currently on tour so unfortunately not,” Biles, 27, told Access Hollywood on Wednesday, October 23, when asked if the two have spent any time together. “I’ve missed a lot of games. But as soon as we finish tour, then yes.”
She added with a laugh, “But you usually don’t bond with opponents.”
Biles’s husband, Jonathan Owens, currently plays for the Chicago Bears while Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, plays for the Kansas City Chiefs. They are not scheduled to face each other in the regular season.
Her 2024 gymnastics routine to “…Ready For it?” was instantly iconic — but the connection between Team USA’s Simone Biles and Taylor Swift actually goes way back, with the two superstars publicly supporting each other many times over the years.

After winning four medals at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, Biles joined Athleta’s Gold Over Golden American tour. The pop concert-style show showcases the athletic skills and championship journeys of Biles, Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles and other Olympic gymnasts.

Once the tour wraps on November 3, Biles hopes to experience more football games and cheer on Owens in person.
“Everything is shipped to Chicago already so I’m ready with gear,” she said before explaining her outfits. “Whenever I reach out to some of our NFL designers I just let them take control and do it.”
Biles, who recently launched her own collection with Athleta, continues to celebrate her history-making win at the Olympics. She’s inviting fans into her trip to Paris thanks to her Netflix documentary series, Simone Biles Rising.
In episode 4, which dropped on Friday, October 25, Biles reflected on her Olympics success and what could be next after earning 11 total medals over her career.

“Now I’m like, ‘Oh my god.’ Like, what happens in life now?” she said in the series. “What I’ll miss most about gymnastics is the freedom with my body. The ability that I have in the gym is not normal. But I’ve had to work in other areas of my life and that’s taught me the lessons and brought me to be who I am today. If I look back at my career, honestly, the thing I’d be most proud of is staying true to myself and never swaying from that.”
Since season 4 of Dancing With the Stars, Olympic athletes have been at the top of the list when it comes to celebrities to cast. Apolo Ohno was the first Olympian to compete, taking home the mirrorball trophy alongside pro partner Julianne Hough in 2007. Ohno’s win got him invited back for the all-stars season […]
After premiering the episode at a red carpet event in Hollywood on Wednesday, October 23, Biles participated in a Q&A about the series. When asked about her legacy, the athlete stayed mum.
“Usually, if you’re using the word legacy, it means you’re done,” she said. “So I don’t have an answer for you.”
All four episodes of Simone Biles Rising are available to stream now on Netflix.
