Last night was a night to remember at the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony. The crowd was buzzing with excitement as Celine Dion gave a stunning performance and Lady Gaga took the stage on the Seine River. However, not everything went according to plan for the beloved pop star. As she belted out her hit song "Mon Truc En Plumes" in a black leotard with a big feathered pom pom on her back, one of her dancers unfortunately slipped and tumbled mid-kick.
Despite the rainy weather, Gaga and her ten dancers, dressed in beautiful Dior costumes, put on an electrifying show. The energy was high as the dancers kicked, spun, and leaped to the fast-paced French classic. But when the dancer's pink pom poms disappeared from sight, it was clear that something had gone wrong. Thankfully, the dancer quickly recovered and got back up to continue the performance, looking a bit bewildered but determined to carry on.
Gaga didn't mention the incident in her post-performance message on social media, where she expressed her gratitude for being asked to perform at the Olympics. She gracefully brushed off the small slip up and reminded us that the show must go on, no matter the weather.
The singer looked absolutely fabulous for the occasion, donning a feathered cabaret theme. In her post on X, she shared her appreciation for being invited to open the Paris Olympics and to sing a special French song to honor the country's rich history of art, music, and theatre. She explained that the song, "Mon Truc En Plumes," was made famous by French ballerina Zizi Jeanmarie in 1961. Fun fact, Gaga and Zizi had crossed paths when Zizi starred in Cole Porter's Anything Goes musical, which was Gaga's first jazz release.
Despite not being French, Gaga has always felt a special connection to the French people and their culture, especially when it comes to music. She wanted to create a performance that would warm the hearts of the French and celebrate their art and music. She even rented pom poms made of naturally moulted feathers from the famous Le Lido cabaret theatre in Paris to bring the performance to life.
Gaga dedicated herself to studying French choreography with a modern twist and even brushed up on her old dance skills from her early days in New York. She expressed her love for the performance and thanked the people of France for welcoming her to their country. She also congratulated all the athletes competing in the Olympics and shared her admiration for their incredible talents.
Later in the evening, Celine Dion took the stage for her emotional performance, her first since announcing her diagnosis with stiff-person syndrome two years ago. She had cancelled her Las Vegas residency and her Courage World Tour due to health concerns and hadn't performed in public since then.
What a night it was at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony! Despite a small slip up and unpredictable weather, Lady Gaga and Celine Dion delivered unforgettable performances that left the crowd in awe. It truly was a night to remember.
