As the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina reach their peak, the spotlight is shining brightly on a group of American figure skaters who have captured the imagination of fans worldwide. Known affectionately as the “Blade Angels,” Alysa Liu, Amber Glenn, and Isabeau Levito are not just competing for medals; they are redefining what it means to combine artistry, athleticism, and personality on ice.
With a blend of technical precision, breathtaking jumps, and elegant choreography, these three skaters embody the future of US women’s figure skating. Their presence at the Olympics is particularly compelling because each brings a unique story of triumph, resilience, and ambition. Liu, the youngest among them, has already battled the pressures of early stardom and is now making a highly anticipated return to the Olympic stage.
Glenn has overcome personal and professional obstacles to become one of the sport’s most expressive performers. Levito has captured both the competitive edge and cultural imagination, earning a special introduction narrated by pop icon Taylor Swift, who frames them as trailblazers and storytellers on ice.
Dubbed the Blade Angels in a playful nod to Charlie’s Angels, this trio has become a symbol of American innovation and charisma in a sport often defined by tradition. Their performances promise to be among the most-watched and talked-about moments of the 2026 Games, offering fans a combination of technical skill, emotional depth, and cultural flair.
All three athletes have already contributed to the US gold medal in the team competition, setting a high standard and showing that they can perform under Olympic pressure. The individual women’s singles event, however, is where personal legacies are written, and each of the Blade Angels has the potential to leave a lasting mark on the sport.
Let’s look at the details of their upcoming appearance at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Taylor Swift’s Introduction of Alysia Liu and the American Team for the Figure Skating Competition at the 2026 Winter Olympics
Adding an unexpected and star-studded cultural moment to the 2026 Winter Olympics, pop superstar Taylor Swift teamed up with Team USA’s women’s figure skating campaign to narrate a special Olympic teaser video, highlighting Alysa Liu, Amber Glenn, and Isabeau Levito.
Released as a primetime teaser ahead of the women’s Olympic short program, the nearly two-minute feature is set to Swift’s hit song, ‘Opalite,’ and combines her voice with visuals celebrating the athletes’ journeys.
In her narration, Swift introduces the trio as:
“Ladies and gentlemen. I’d like to introduce you to Amber, Alysa, and Isabeau. Three American showgirls on ice who will capture your heart with their stories.”
She went on to highlight each of them by giving individual introductions. Starting with Glenn, she said:
“Amber will be the first to tell you about how many battles she’s fought. And how the ones she’s lost have meant as much as the wins. Her superpower now is embracing the fight and daring the world to test her self-belief.”
Moving on to Alysa Liu, the singer said:
“As for Alysa, she walked away from skating when she was 16, but then came back on her own terms. Joy fuels her now. Every jump, a celebration. Every performance, a testament to the beauty of knowing yourself.”
And lastly, Swift introduced Levito, saying:
“And then, Isabeau. I mean, she’s destiny personified. Her mom grew up in Milan. And her Nonna, her grandma, lives exactly 13 minutes from the Olympic rink. When you can skate like you’re meant to be out there, history has a funny way of showing up.”
She wrapped up the narration by cheering the trio on, adding:
“They’re teammates and friends. They call themselves the ‘Blade Angels.’ And tomorrow night they’re taking center stage when the show starts in Milan.”
Swift’s involvement has helped elevate the campaign beyond sport, bringing global attention to one of the Games’ most anticipated events. Here is the video:
