Amber Glenn, Alysa Liu, and Isabeau Levito, also known as the “Blade Angels,”<\/a> have a cheerleader in pop superstar Taylor Swift<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The “Life of a Showgirl” artist is behind a brand new video highlighting the figure skating women of Team USA, set to take the ice Tuesday<\/a>. Each will skate in the short program, hoping to land in spot in the free skate two days later and a shot at the podium.<\/p>\n

Swift says the three women are “American showgirls” in the video from USA Women’s Figure Skating and set to her hit song “Opalite.”<\/p>\n

The nearly 2-minute video includes music and narration by Swift, and features vignettes of each skater \u2014 all three have a chance of earning a medal by the end of the week. <\/p>\n

Glenn’s “superpower is embracing the fight and daring the world to test her self belief,” Swift says. <\/p>\n

Liu walked away from the sport when she was 16, Swift points out, and “came back on her own terms. Joy fuels her now.”<\/p>\n

Then there’s Levito, whose Italian roots include a grandmother living 13 minutes from the Olympic rink she’ll skate in Tuesday. <\/p>\n

The 18-year-old is “destiny personified,” Swift says. “When you can skate like you’re meant to be there, history has a funny way of showing up.” <\/p>\n
