On the 27th (Korean time), the opening day of the 2024 Paris Olympics, the audience is watching Lady Gaga's congratulatory performance at the opening ceremony venue set up at Trocadero Square in Paris, France.
It has been revealed that pop star Lady Gaga's performance at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony was not live but a recorded video. Lady Gaga's side explained, "It was an inevitable decision due to the bad weather."
According to the British media outlet The Independent on the 31st, Lady Gaga's performance, which was the first performance at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony, was a pre-recorded video.
Lady Gaga, who opened the opening ceremony, performed a reinterpretation of the original song "Mine Made of Feathers" released by Gigi Jeanmer in 1961.
French local media reported that Lady Gaga's set was empty at the time. Regarding this, choreographer and Olympic dancer Maud Le Pradeck said, "Unfortunately, it was the only performance that had to be pre-recorded for safety reasons," and "I've never seen the weather forecast so often in my life."
It is explained that they concluded that a live performance would be dangerous considering that Lady Gaga would be performing on stairs wearing high heels. This opening ceremony was held outdoors for the first time in Olympic history, but heavy rain continued to fall.
However, Lady Gaga's strong will to perform even in the rain led to the performance being recorded before the opening ceremony, and she stayed at the opening ceremony to watch the video of her performance.
Later, Lady Gaga expressed her feelings through social network service (SNS) X (formerly Twitter), saying, "I wanted to create a performance that warms the hearts of France, celebrates French art and music, and reminds everyone of Paris, the most magical city." 토토사이트
