“Look at America, y’all,” Beyoncé began, as her hit Ya Ya from her most recent album, Cowboy Carter, played in the background.

“These hopes and dreams, these superstars that represent us. The people of this big, bold, beautiful, complicated nation. All together for them. Come on, you gotta love Noah. [Lyles] and Sha’Carri [Richardson.] The fastest man and woman on the planet. They race around the world, whenever, wherever,” she continued.

“And I know you know my girl Simone. Born to fly, destined to inspire. We have superstars and we have legends. We have big dreamers who fought their whole lives to get here. Who gave up everything for one shot, and made it.”

Several images of top American athletes appeared on the screen, interspersed with images of the Grammy winner twirling around in her red, white and blue suit.

“That pride and that joy? That’s what binds me to this team. And that’s what makes me believe in this team. And that’s why I can’t wait to see what they’re going to do over the next 16 days. America, give it up for Team USA, the very best of who we are. What a vision to behold. What a team to believe in. What a night to celebrate.”
