Singer-songwriter and actress Lady Gaga will perform at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. The Hollywood Reporter.

Previously, fans had speculated that the ‘Shallow’ singer would take the stage alongside Celine Dion, Dua Lipa, Ariana Grande and French singer Aya Nakamura at the River Seine in Paris. However, the list of performers at the ceremony has been kept mostly secret.

The speculation began when Gaga and Dion were spotted landing in Paris ahead of the Olympics. According to social media footage, the ‘A Star Is Born’ actress was seen greeting fans outside her car in the French capital.

Grammy and Oscar-winning artist Gaga was busy shooting for her upcoming film ‘Joker: Folie a Deux’, in which she plays Harley Quinn opposite Joaquin Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck/Joker, and headlining her residency show Enigma + Jazz & Piano in Las Vegas.

‘Joker: Folie a Deux’, a sequel to the 2019 film ‘Joker’, is set to release in theaters on October 4, 2024 after premiering at the Venice Film Festival. The sequel will see Phoenix reprise his role as the Joker and include Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn. Most of the events in the film will take place at Arkham Asylum.

Gaga’s performance at the Olympics opening ceremony marked her first time on a televised stage since her stripped-down rendition of “Hold My Hand” at the 95th Academy Awards last year. The song from “Top Gun: Maverick” was nominated for best original song.
