When the U.S. women’s water polo team goes for the program’s fourth gold medal at the Summer Olympics, they want to show the world that they can “do it with a broken heart,” so to speak.<\/p>\n

The team was in Paris for an event in May, and their visit coincided with Taylor’s Eras Tour show at the city’s\u00a0La D\u00e9fense Arena, the location of the final rounds of the Olympic water polo tournaments. They asked for tickets and, as USA Today<\/em><\/a>\u00a0reported, Taylor ended up inviting the team backstage, as well as giving them VIP seats and merch.<\/p>\n

They said after the show they were fired up by seeing Taylor dominate the same arena in which they might find themselves in August.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Team member Maggie Steffens<\/strong> told reporters on Wednesday, “We talked about it after … like, if we get the chance to play in La D\u00e9fense Arena, we want to be like her. We want to be able to love the pressure and be able to perform and have fun and enjoy that moment and make the most of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs bada** and powerful of a woman as she is, for us to be able to see that in person was pretty magical,\u201d Steffens added.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought to myself, \u2018This is exactly what we want to bring to the pool,\u2019\u201d team coach\u00a0Adam Krikorian <\/strong>added.\u00a0\u201cWhat better way to get in the right mindset and to experience that energy and that joy and that love. Because those are the values that we want to play with.\u201d<\/p>\n

Krikorian promised\u00a0Taylor a “front-row seat” if the team makes the final. Unfortunately, she has a concert that day, Aug. 10, in Vienna, Austria, so she might be a little bit busy.<\/p>\n
