Taylor Swift has officially arrived at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, but it is not quite the “Eras Tour” on ice that fans were expecting. While the superstar is the driving force behind the latest Olympic promotion, she stays behind the scenes. Instead of a physical performance, Swift uses her massive platform to spotlight Team USA’s brightest figure skating stars, blending pop culture and elite athletics.
Taylor Swift lends her voice and song ‘Opalite’ to help introduce Team USA’s ‘Blade Angels’
The “catch” to Taylor Swift’s cameo is simple: you’ll hear her, but you won’t see her. Swift serves as the narrator for a stunning new film introducing Amber Glenn, Alysa Liu, and Isabeau Levito, a trio she calls the “Blade Angels.” Set to the shimmering beat of her song “Opalite,” Taylor’s voice guides us through the highs and lows of these athletes’ careers.
The video is a feast for fashion lovers. It opens with artistic silhouettes of the skaters dancing against a starlit, teal-blue backdrop. As the light hits them, we see the incredible detail of their costumes. These aren’t just outfits; they are high-fashion masterpieces.
Amber Glenn wears a rich, plum-colored dress adorned with hundreds of hand-placed crystals that catch the light during her powerful jumps. Alysa Liu brings a golden glow to the ice in a sequined fringe dress that moves beautifully with her spins.
Isabeau Levito opts for a classic “Old Hollywood” glamor look with a deep-red velvet gown and elegant gloves. The video shows a mix of grit and grace. We see the skaters falling during intense competitions, followed by Taylor’s voice explaining their resilience.
It ends with the three women standing together in their “gala” looks—drenched in diamonds and heavy jewelry, looking more like runway models than athletes. Swift’s “special role” is clear: she is the storyteller making sure these “showgirls on ice” truly shimmer on the world stage.
