Will Lady Gaga perform at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony?

Will Lady Gaga be performing at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris on July 26?

Just days before the world's biggest sporting event begins, Lady Gaga was spotted arriving in Paris. Known for her rendition of Edith Piaf’s "La Vie en Rose" in “A Star is Born” and her Las Vegas residency, she is rumoured to be rehearsing for the Opening Ceremony. R&B star Aya Nakamura and Celine Dion are also speculated to perform.

For the first time, the Opening Ceremony will be held outside a stadium, along the Seine River. The event will feature 85 boats carrying athletes from each Olympic delegation in a four-mile parade, starting at Pont d’Austerlitz and ending at the Eiffel Tower. The ceremony will highlight Paris' historical landmarks and include 3,500 actors, dancers, and musicians.

The show is designed by theatre director Thomas Jolly, known for the rock-opera musical "Starmania." In an interview with the Associated Press, Jolly did not disclose details about the performers, stating “All I can tell you is that it will be very meaningful for the artists that will perform.”

Gaga is gearing up for a busy few months. In her latest film, “Joker: Folie à Deux,” she takes on the role of Harley Quinn in the sequel to 2019’s “Joker,” set to be released on October 4. The movie is expected to include 15 reinterpretations of classic songs, though details about original songs and Gaga’s musical contributions remain unknown.

Additionally, she has been occupied with recording her seventh studio album.

Speaking recently about the progress on the untitled work, Gaga said, “I have written so many songs and I have produced so many songs.” 

Gaga added, “It’s nothing like anything that I’ve ever made before.”
