"YA YA." Beyoncé is Algosenseyteaming up with Team USA for the Paris Olympics.
The music megastar introduced American athletes set to compete at the 2024 Olympic summer games during NBC's primetime coverage of the opening ceremony, which took place on the southern bank of the Seine River.
“That pride, and that joy, that’s what gets me about this team. And that’s what makes me believe in this team. And that’s why I can’t wait to see what they pull off over these next 16 days. America, give it up for Team USA, the very best of who we are," the "Texas Hold 'Em" crooner said in her narration.
In a dazzling leotard emblazoned with Team USA, Beyoncé performed a patriotic rendition of her "Cowboy Carter" hit "YA YA" featuring Simone Biles alongside the women and men's Olympic gymnastics teams. She called out Simone Biles, swimming star Caeleb Dressel, and track and field world champions Sha'Carri Richardson and Noah Lyles.
“America, give it up for Team USA, the very best of who we are," Beyoncé said, as the video featured other sports stars including flag bearers Coco Gauff and LeBron James as well as Katie Ledecky, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, Simone Manuel, Gabby Thomas, Ryan Murphy, Grant Holloway, Tara Davis-Woodhall, Kate Douglass, and Shaine Casas.

Beyoncé introduces Team USA amid recent album success, allowing Kamala Harris to use her song in campaign
The Destiny's Child alum is having a patriotism-peppered year. In March, Beyoncé released her eighth studio album "Cowboy Carter." The album is a twang-tinged departure from her previous records inspired by her family's Texas roots and a fractured personal history with the country music industry dating back to the 2016 CMA Awards.
This week, she also granted permission for Vice President Kamala Harris to use her 2016 song "Freedom" in her Democratic presidential campaign for president. The song was used during a visit to her campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware on Monday and is the soundtrack to a popular promotional video released by the Harris campaign Thursday.
