Jordan Chiles had a dream-come-true moment just days after the NCAA Regional Finals, stepping into a completely different setting. She attended a Cécred event, the haircare brand launched by Beyoncé, where the evening was built around fashion, styling, and live showcases.
Beyoncé was there as the face behind the brand, hosting and appearing throughout the event as part of its launch experience. That is where Chiles met her.

“Ahh guys i just met @beyonce. My dreams have come true. Words cant express my feelings right now…” she wrote.
The moment did not end with just a quick meeting. As they spoke, Beyoncé made it clear she already knew who Chiles was. She brought up the routine set to her music and how it had caught her attention.
It turned into something more personal almost instantly. Beyoncé spoke about watching that performance and how it landed at home, too, with her family following along.
“Your performance on my song, I liked that. You killed it. My daughter right now is flipping, she’s so inspired by you,” Beyoncé said.
Chiles had performed to “My House” during her NCAA season with UCLA, a routine that instantly grabbed attention for its sharp energy and confidence. The performance quickly picked up traction online, with clips circulating across social media.
The American gymnast now shifts her focus to the final stretch of the 2026 NCAA season with UCLA, where the goal is clear: Stay consistent, hit routines clean, and push for a strong finish as the competition tightens.
UCLA is set to compete next at the NCAA Championships semifinals on April 16, 2026, in Fort Worth, Texas, where they will face LSU, Florida, and Stanford. The top two teams from each semifinal will advance to the finals, setting up a four-team battle for the national title.
