With 15 days left for the Paris Olympics, a possible Mother Monster takeover is keeping fans abuzz. On Thursday, July 11, rumors began swirling online that Lady Gaga might grace the 2024 Paris Olympics’ closing ceremony on August 11. The speculation caught fire when Paris 2024 and Thomas Jolly, the artistic director of the Olympics, announced on Instagram, “On 11 August, at the Stade de France, after two weeks of sporting excellence and festivities, Thomas Jolly invites you to a unique and exceptional show: « Records » 🌒”

Lady Gaga confirmed her seventh studio album is on the way by flashing the message “LG7 GAGA RETURNS” just before the screen went black to end her Gaga Chromatica Ball concert film. The similarities between this teaser and the one dropped by Paris 2024 and Thomas Jolly only fueled fan anticipation.

One fan commented, “The teaser is like that of LG7 it’s the same f***ing style it breaks my brain. Gaga for real at the Olympics?!?!🖤🖤” Another wrote, “LADY GAGA??!!! WE WON 😭😭😭🕯️🕯️🕯️” Further, “Dance In The Shadows” is an unreleased song from Gaga’s upcoming album, prompting one fan to muse, “dance in the shadow of Paris?” And one sneaky fan even noticed, “Thomas Jolly follows Gaga on Instagram 😮”

Jolly followed not just Lady Gaga but also Nicola Formichetti on Instagram,, adding fuel to the speculation. For those who need a refresher, Formichetti is the fashion wizard behind Gaga’s most iconic looks, including the unforgettable “meat dress.” Another clue fueling speculation was the lineup of creatives involved in the show, as shared by Thomas Jolly on his Instagram story.

The team included Kevin Germanier on costumes, Kevin Vives as choreographer (notably known for his work with Lady Gaga on the second Dom Pérignon commercial), Antoine Travert handling lighting, Clément Mirguet on music, Emmanuelle Favre on set design, Sam Zr on artistic collaboration, and others. Fans were quick to notice the familiar names, especially Vives, linking the production to the Paris Olympics. With Vives and Formichetti’s creative flair and Gaga’s legendary performances, fans are eagerly anticipating what could be a jaw-dropping, unforgettable show. As fans eagerly await an official update, rumors swirl about another music icon possibly performing at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony.
