"What do we want from our heroes?" the 31-year-old said at the start of the clip. "What do we expect from them? What do we need from them? What happens when they surprise us? When you have the attention of the world, everything you do takes on a bigger meaning. It can be a heavy burden. It can be a chance to change everything."

"Throughout the last week, her voice has been as significant as her talents," the "Love Story" singer said of Biles. "Her honesty as beautiful as the perfection that had long been her signature. But don't you see? It still is. She is perfectly human. And that's what makes it so easy to call her a hero."

The saga began when she scored 13.766 in her vault performance, which was the lowest score of her Olympics career after doing a 1/2 twist instead of two 1/2 twists in mid-air. Biles later explained that she experienced what is known as the "twisties" when she seemingly got lost in the air.

The athlete told her followers on Instagram that the "twisties" can be dangerous as she "cannot tell up from down" and has "no idea where I am in the air I also have NO idea how I'm going to land, or what I'm going to land on. Head/hands/feet/back."

Biles also told her Instagram followers that "physical health is mental health."
