Lady Gaga Teases New Music in Paris Following Olympic Performance

Lady Gaga captivated fans in Paris as she offered a sneak peek of her upcoming seventh album. The Oscar and Grammy-winning artist performed at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympics on July 26, delivering a heartfelt rendition of the cabaret song “Mon Truc en Plumes.” Following her performance, which included a display of vibrant choreography, Gaga confirmed her engagement to entrepreneur Michael Polansky and expressed her excitement about sharing new music. Emerging from her car, Gaga played snippets of her new tracks from her laptop, energizing a crowd of enthusiastic fans. She enthusiastically pumped her fist in the air while the music played, and after a brief interlude, she returned to share another clip that echoed the electronic-pop style of her previous work, particularly her Artpop album. With a playful tease, she concluded her impromptu performance by stating, “And for the rest, you’ll have to wait!” During her Olympic performance, Gaga sang in French while playing the piano, surrounded by dancers with large pink pom poms. The segment was pre-recorded due to safety concerns related to the weather. Choreographer Maud le Pladec explained the decision, emphasizing the need for caution given the performance's proximity to water and the potential hazards involved. Expressing her gratitude, Gaga remarked on the honor of opening the Paris Olympics and performing a song that pays tribute to French culture. She aimed to create a performance that celebrated the rich history of French art and music, leaving a lasting impression on the audience in the City of Light.
