Lady Gaga delivered a dazzling performance of Zizi Jeanmaire’s “Mon Truc en Plumes” (“My Thing With Feathers”) as part of the opening of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Gaga, who had been spotted in the host city for the past few days, strutted down some steps along the Seine River, paying homage to Jeanmaire. Wearing Dior Haute Couture, accompanied by a troupe of eight dancers carrying pink feather fans, she then moved over to the piano to continue her performance before getting back on her feet for the finale.

Posting after her performance, Gaga wrote, “This is not the first time we’ve crossed paths. Zizi starred in Cole Porter’s musical ‘Anything Goes’ which was my first jazz release. Although I am not a French artist, I have always felt a very special connection with French people and singing French music—I wanted nothing more than to create a performance that would warm the heart of France, celebrate French art and music, and on such a momentous occasion remind everyone of one of the most magical cities on earth—Paris.”
