Lady Gaga began her journey at the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris at the opening ceremony, putting on a perfectly opulent and perfectly Gaga show.
The 38-year-old songstress opened the ceremony with a campy rendition of "Mon truc en plumes," originally by Zizi Jeanmaire, complete with pink feathers, a black gown, and show-stopping vocals.
If for some reason you missed Gaga's opening ceremony spectacular (followed later that evening by a comeback from none other than Celine Dion), watch it again in the video below…
After the ceremony, however, the singer made it a point to check out the games for herself, flanked by her longtime boyfriend Michael Polansky.
She was one of many stars that showed up to see the women's artistic gymnastics qualifiers, most notably the comeback performance by Simone Biles.
Simone was making her grand return to the Olympics stage after struggles with her mental health and the "twisties" impacted her run at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.

Gaga joined the likes of Tom Cruise, Ariana Grande, John Legend & Chrissy Teigen, Jessica Chastain, and many more A-listers in the stands watching the Team U.S.A. female artistic gymnastics team doing their thing.
