American superstars Simone Biles and Taylor Swift got mushy on Twitter Tuesday. 

Swift voiced a promotional video for Biles’ Tuesday beam routine at the Tokyo Olympics, prompting the champion gymnast to tweet that she was “crying.”

I’m crying how special. I love you @taylorswift13 https://t.co/px9RXtKHNI

“How special. I love you,” Biles added, tagging Swift’s Twitter account. 

The chart-topping singer responded, referencing Biles’ recent decision to bow out of the team and individual finals, citing mental health concerns. 

I cried watching YOU. I feel so lucky to have gotten to watch you all these years, but this week was a lesson in emotional intelligence and resilience. We all learned from you. Thank you. https://t.co/VQxyeEf0mJ

“I cried watching YOU,” said Swift. “I feel so lucky to have gotten to watch you all these years, but this week was a lesson in emotional intelligence and resilience. We all learned from you. Thank you.”

Biles returned to the competition Tuesday and won the bronze medal on the balance beam.
