It seems Lady Gaga is set to perform at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics after all.
The pop superstar, 38, was seen giving a spectacular performance alongside the Seine River in the French capital on July 26. Sporting an extravagant ensemble adorned with glittering sequins and vibrant feathers, Gaga was surrounded by a troupe of dancers in similarly flamboyant costumes.
Photos and videos from the event show Gaga delivering a high-energy performance on a stage designed to reflect Parisian landmarks. The set included replicas of iconic structures like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe, providing a stunning backdrop. At one point during her act, Gaga was lifted high into the air by one of her dancers, adding a dramatic flair to her already captivating performance.
The Grammy and Oscar-winning artist has been spotted around Paris throughout the week, often stopping to greet fans and showcasing a variety of stylish outfits as she prepared for her Olympic debut. Gaga’s presence in the city has generated significant buzz, with fans eagerly anticipating her performance.
The 2024 Summer Olympics will officially begin on July 26 with a grand opening ceremony on the Seine River. This marks a historic occasion as the ceremony will be held outside a traditional stadium setting for the first time in the Summer Games’ history. Team USA will be proudly represented by tennis star Coco Gauff and basketball legend LeBron James, who have been selected as the flagbearers for the event.
Adding to the excitement, it is rumored that Céline Dion will also perform during the Olympic Games. Dion’s return to the stage would be particularly poignant as it marks her first major performance since announcing her battle with stiff-person syndrome in December 2022. Over the past week, Dion has been seen in Paris, engaging with fans and making several public appearances, fueling speculation about her involvement.
Reports from Variety suggest that Dion will be part of the Olympic festivities, with TMZ further claiming that the “My Heart Will Go On” singer will be paid $2 million for a single-song performance during the opening ceremony. If confirmed, Dion’s appearance will undoubtedly add to the star-studded allure of the event.
