In celebration of the 2026 Winter Olympics, Taylor Swift shared a heartfelt message for the athletes, applauding their dedication, grit, and hard work while wishing them the best of luck. The Games will take place from February 6 to February 22 in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, across several iconic venues—including Milan’s San Siro stadium. Fun fact: It’s the same venue where the “Opalite” singer performed twice in 2024 during her Eras Tour.
“Hi, it’s Taylor. 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 life, and grateful that you’ve brought us all along with you on this journey so we get to watch you do this.
And I just hope that you have a wonderful Olympic Games, wishing you all the best of luck and a safe journey, and I hope that this is an experience that you will cherish for the rest of your life. Bye.”
Alongside her encouraging words, something else quickly caught my fashion-trained eye. Taylor is no stranger to iconic style moments, and her outfit in the video was no exception. She wore the sweetest Polo Ralph Lauren Team USA sweatshirt, complete with the brand’s iconic teddy bear, all bundled up for the slopes in ski gear and a knit hat. It’s an undeniably cute—and very Taylor way—to cheer Team USA on ahead of the Winter Games.
While the sweatshirt itself is out of stock in some sizes (bookmark it and check back for restocks), fans can still channel the same style with a matching long-sleeve tee. Shop Taylor’s look below.
