Taylor Swift makes Olympic gymnast's night with congratulatory tweet

'Safe & Sound' songstress Taylor Swift has 'made the night' of an Olympic athlete after showing her support for the USA's triumphant gymnastics team.

On Wednesday, August 1 the superstar took to social networking site Twitter and praised talented Alexandra Raisman (pictured left) for her sporting ability and her team's gold medal success:

"CONGRATS @Aly_Raisman and all of the fab five on your incredible win!!!"

Soon after, Raisman noticed the public message and replied by admitting that Swift is her "favorite singer": "@taylorswift13 thank you so much Taylor! You just made my night! You are my favorite singer!!!!"

The U.S. women's gymnastics team also attracted attention from pop icon Lady Gaga and Raisman replied to her congratulations by writing: "Thank you @ladygaga I am so glad you watched us! We listen to your music everyday here in London! You are so awesome!!" Watch Swift's music video for 'Ours' below:
