“Make sure you get that GOAT”, came from Snoop Dogg. However, in one or two minutes, the photographer assured him, “We got the GOAT”. The background was different because the icon was calling Noah Lyles the greatest of all time and telling the photographer to capture the entire shot of him sporting a Nike tracksuit that showed off his face.

The famous rapper posed for the camera as the “Special Correspondent” for the official Olympic headshot occasion. But hardly anyone could imagine that in the coming 48 hours, the icon’s plea to get the GOAT would confirm another GOAT’s presence at the Paris Olympics.

Finally, we are at Olympic Week, and the surprises are just around the corner too. The opening ceremony comes first, scheduled for July 26. The occasion has already set the bar high for being hosted away from any stadium or arena. Now, another layer joins in as Lady Gaga is set to perform at the Paris Olympics ceremony.

That comes as the curtain-raiser moment, as for the last few days, the singer’s presence in the French capital has evoked a lot of interest. In fact, on July 21, several media outlets reported something interesting. 

Several cameras framed her when she discreetly returned to her hotel in Paris with her boyfriend, Michael Polansky. The hard effort to keep things private added to the rumor that Lady Gaga was busy rehearsing for the opening ceremony. The next day, the eagerly waiting cameras didn’t miss a moment to catch it again.

This time, the 38-year-old shared a smile, looking back at the eager eyes. After that, a confirmation was on the cards.

The once-in-a-lifetime celebration on the river of love 

While the fans were eagerly following the happenings in the last few hours, wanting concrete news on Lady Gaga’s presence on July 26, the World Music Awards’ X-handle shared a grab. The update displayed the singer practicing the ageless French song, La Vie en Rose, on the Seine.

Claimed to be the hymn to French life, it was first performed by Edith Piaf. So, performing the song on ‘La rivière’ Seine River could be the best treat received from Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, aka Lady Gaga. Apart from that, the eye-catching show has several arrangements on the list. 

As per the schedule, the athletes will be given a tour of the boats during the opening ceremony. The grandeur will take place along the 6-kilometer stretch of the River of Love and at Trocadero. According to several updates, the purest form of French culture, along with its history, will be featured in front of the visitors.

On this occasion, delegates from different countries will also be at the venue, and the availability of general tickets gives access to everyone else as well. Now, let the bugle be tuned to start the much-awaited celebration of Citius, Altius, and Fortius!
