Among the biggest stars to take the stage at the opening ceremony of the Olympics in Paris on Friday night wasLady Gaga.
She sangMon Truc en Plume,a well-known French circus song, as she took the stage. As she sat down at her piano to sing, the singer-songwriter & actress, 38, seemed to have some sound problems, which fans on social media quickly pointed out were detracting from her performance (seeDaily Mail).

After the show, Gaga posted on X, expressing her gratitude for being able to participate:
I feel so completely grateful to have been asked to open the Paris@Olympics2024 this year.
