On Friday, Lady Gaga took the stage at the Olympic opening ceremony in Paris, and she couldn’t be more thrilled.
The 38-year-old singer, known for her hit “Bad Romance,” performed “Mon Truc En Plumes” from a grand set of stairs along the Seine River.
She later shared her heartfelt gratitude on social media, reflecting on the experience.
In her post on X (formerly Twitter), Lady Gaga expressed her deep appreciation for the opportunity to kick off the Paris 2024 Olympics. She wrote, “I am so completely grateful to have been asked to open the Paris Olympics this year.
It was an honor to perform a song that pays tribute to the French people and their rich history in art, music, and theater.”
Behind the Scenes
Gaga also shared some behind-the-scenes details about her performance.
She mentioned how she delved into French choreography and collaborated with Dior to design custom costumes adorned with naturally molted feathers. “We rented pom poms from the Le Lido archive, a renowned French cabaret theater,” she explained.
“I spent a lot of time perfecting a joyful French dance and revisiting some of my old skills.”
She even reminisced about her early days, saying, “You might not know, but I used to dance at a 60’s French party on the Lower East Side when I was just starting out. I hope you enjoyed this performance as much as I did.”
Reactions to the Performance
Despite Lady Gaga’s enthusiasm, reactions to her performance were mixed.
Some fans took to X to express their disappointment, criticizing the audio quality and questioning her choice of song. One user commented, “Great performance from Lady Gaga. It’s a shame the French forgot to do a sound check beforehand.”
Another added, “Lady Gaga performing on a platform next to the river rather than in a stadium led to poor sound quality.”
However, not everyone was critical.
Many fans praised Gaga for her performance, calling it “amazing” and “breathtaking.” One enthusiastic fan wrote, “Lady Gaga is sensational in the Olympic opening ceremony.
Wow!!!!!” Another said, “It was outstanding! Thank you so much, Lady Gaga. You honored us for sure! Loved the passion and hard work you put into it!”
Despite some negative feedback, Lady Gaga’s appearance left a significant impression on many, showcasing her incredible talent and dedication.
