For anybody wondering about the social media posts involving pop singer SZA and Simone Biles, the answer came Monday morning.
To continue its promotion of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, NBC released another celebrity-athlete crossover involving one of Team USA's biggest stars. In this two-minute spot, SZA traveled to Biles' training headquarters in Spring, Texas, for a conversation – and some gymnastics fun.
SZA, real name Solána Imani Rowe, has previously said her music has been inspired by gymnastics – a sport she participated in for 13 years.
"This is my dream to talk to you," SZA said in the clip.
Biles and SZA discussed the latter's former time as a gymnast. Biles then challenged the GRAMMY-award winner to a handstand contest, which SZA appears to have won, although Biles' effort wasn't necessarily as formidable as what she put forward during the U.S. gymnastics trials over the weekend. Biles secured her spot on the 2024 squad by winning the women's all-around at U.S. Olympic trials over the weekend in Minneapolis.
Already the most decorated American gymnast in Olympic history, Biles is going to her third Games and is trying to become the first woman to win two all-around gold medals since the 1960s.
A different celebrity-athlete spot, featuring track and field star Sha'Carri Richardson and singer Cardi B ("When Sha'Carri Met Cardi"), aired during the network's Kentucky Derby coverage on May 5.
NBC has leaned into the celebrity angle to promote and cover the Olympics. For example, Snoop Dogg will be a correspondent for the network in Paris.
Additionally, Peyton Manning and Kelly Clarkson are joining the opening ceremony broadcast as co-hosts with Mike Tirico.
