Lady Gaga Gloriously Vamps It Up Along The Seine In Paris Olympic Opening Ceremony
HuffPost
The "Shallow" singer belted out a number in French and said she was "humbled" by the opportunity.
Lady Gaga hid behind feathers on a staircase along the Seine, but it didn’t take long for her to emerge and command center stage at the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics on Friday.
The “Shallow” singer performed Zizi Jeanmaire’s “Mon Truc en Plumes” in pretty good French — no surprise given that she covered the Edith Piaf classic “La Vie en Rose” for her hit movie “A Star Is Born.”
Gaga pulled off a showstopper during the boat parade of nations along the river, video of her performance showed.
She channeled Parisian cabaret singers of old in a short, strapless black outfit with stockings and high heels in an energetic act before eventually settling down to the piano.
Her appearance at the festivities hardly shocked anyone. She was seen in Paris earlier this week and was spotted rehearsing shortly before the ceremony.
The ceremony airs on March 2 on ABC, Hulu Live TV and elsewhere.
