At the 2024 Olympics, Lady Gaga’s opening ceremony performance was so impressive that it instantly went viral, solidifying her legendary status in the entertainment world.

Her tribute to iconic jazz and cabaret traditions captivated the audience and honored France’s rich musical heritage, showcasing her unique ability to blend diverse influences seamlessly.
For her performance, Lady Gaga took center stage on a lavishly decorated staircase set against the backdrop of the Seine River. Surrounded by a troupe of dancers brandishing vibrant pink feathered pom poms, she combined dynamic dance moves with her captivating vocals.
She sang “Mon Truc en Plumes” beautifully. After showcasing her incredible piano skills for a brief moment, she made a striking entrance wearing an ivory feathered tail attached to her sleek black bustier that added a dramatic flourish to the finale of her routine.
Her vocals remain as legendary as ever, showcasing her powerful voice despite the energetic dance routine. It was clear that the choreography did little to diminish the strength of her performance.
The video has garnered over 2M views within a few days and been showered by countless positive feedback. One commented, “I love how she never just stands there and sings, it’s a whole show, she involves everyone. She’s rly part of a troupe here.”
Even not understanding a single word of French, many viewers are impressed by what Lady Gaga did on the staircase.
