Celine Dion Appears Set To Make Her Comeback at the Olympics Opening Ceremony
In light of her ongoing health struggles, Celine Dion cancelled all tour dates for 2023 and 2024.

Celine Dion fueled the Olympics opening ceremony rumors with an Instagram post Wednesday (July 2024.) The “Because You Loved Me” singer shared a photo of herself standing in front of the storied Louvre.
“Every time I return to Paris, I remember there’s so much beauty and joy still to experience in the world,” Dion wrote. “I love Paris, and I’m so happy to be back!”
Lady Gaga
Newsweek reported that the “Poker Face” singer was sighted in Paris Tuesday (July 23.) Additionally, fans posted footage to social media that reportedly shows the 13-time GRAMMY winner rehearsing for her Olympics opening ceremony set by night.
Snoop Dogg
We already know that the West Coast legend will carry the torch through the streets of Saint-Denis. If he’s in Paris anyway, he may as well perform during the Olympics opening ceremony—right?
Taylor Swift
Admittedly, there isn’t much to substantiate this theory, other than the pop star is currently in Europe for the “Eras” Tour and has a break between stops.
Christine and the Queens
The French pop star previously performed his track “Full of Life” at a 2023 event promoting this year’s Olympic Games.
