Why Lady Gaga’s Paris Olympics 2024 opening performance was pre-recorded
Lady Gaga’s performance was pre-recorded.The launch of this year’s Olympic games took place in Paris on Friday (July 26), with the opening ceremony seeing 300,000 fans watching from the riverside as an armada of boats carried athletes along the Seine in the pouring rain.It included performances from Gojira, Celine Dion and Lady Gaga – however, some viewers were surprised to learn that the latter’s was actually pre-recorded.Taking to the stage, Gaga’s rendition of Zizi Jeanmaire’s ‘Mon Truc en Plumes’ seemed to be played live to those watching from home, but it was actually performed earlier in the day, meaning in-person attendees also watched the singer’s performance on a screen.“We were in front of Lady Gaga’s set, and by the time the music started, the staircase was empty,” France 3 journalist Yannick Le Gall, told The Telegraph. They also added that “spectators booed and regretted having paid €180 to see nothing.”Now, the choreographer and head of dance for the Olympics Maud Le Pladec has explained why it wasn’t performed live, citing the unfortunate weather conditions on the day.“Unfortunately, it was the only [performance] that, for safety reasons, we had to pre-record late in the afternoon, once we knew for sure that it was going to rain – we had minute-by-minute updates, we had never watched the weather forecast so closely in our lives,” she recalled (via Variety).“We assessed that it was going to be too dangerous for performers, even with a few drops of rain.

It marked her first performance since she revealed her stiff person syndrome (SPS) diagnosis in 2022.Ahead of the appearance, it was falsely reported that Dion would be earning $2million (£1.5million) to play just one song at the huge event in the French capital.However, the Olympic Committee has now debunked the rumour in a statement – and confirmed that the artist did not receive any payment (via UNILAD).“Contrary to information relayed in the media, the performers who will perform during the Paris 2024 Games ceremonies will not receive a fee for their performance,” the message began.“This commitment on their part – under these conditions – reflects their desire to participate in a historic event for France and for the world of sport.”It continued: “Furthermore, Paris 2024 will cover all technical production and performance organisation costs, as is customary.Celine Dion #Paris2024 #Olympics #Olympic2024 pic.twitter.com/3f8Pm0qqrE— Celine Dion Icon (@celinedionlcon) July 26, 2024A post shared by Céline Dion (@celinedion)“Paris 2024 reminds that the budget of the organising committee is 96 per cent financed by private funding and that at no time do public contributions pay the artistic teams.”Lady Gaga sang ‘Mon truc en plumes’ earlier in the opening ceremony.
