“Every time I return to Paris, I remember that there is still so much beauty and joy in the world that needs to be known. I love Paris and I'm so happy to be back! Thanks to our wonderful friends from the Louvre! Best regards, Celine — the singer wrote, publishing a post on the social network X.
According to some media reports, Dion will receive a considerable fee for performing at the opening of the 2024 Olympics in the amount of €2 million and will be dressed in a pink and black feather cape from Dior.

As for Gaga, one of the fans managed to capture a frame in which Lady Gaga is supposedly near the piano on a floating island on the Seine River.
The organizers keep the details of the opening ceremony strictly secret.
— Obviously, she has arrived in Paris, this is wonderful! I would be infinitely happy if she could be at this opening ceremony, like all our fellow countrymen, — said French President Emmanuel Macron to France 2 television, commenting on Celine Dion's visit.
He added that he would not reveal anything that the director of the 2024 Olympics opening ceremony had prepared. He called it a surprise.
