The opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympics was a spectacular event, featuring stunning performances by global music icons.

Lady Gaga kicked off the festivities with a captivating rendition of "Mon truc en plumes" while dressed in a dazzling Dior cabaret outfit.

The highlight of the night came when Céline Dion, who had not performed live in four years, moved the audience with her emotional performance of "Hymne à l'amour" from the Eiffel Tower.

Despite rumors of a hefty fee for her appearance, the organizing committee clarified that no star performers would receive payment, although production costs would be covered.

The ceremony was hailed as a unique and ambitious celebration, setting a high standard for future Olympic events.
