  1. With two days until the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics, Lady Gaga is confirmed to participate in the opening ceremony. This will be her first televised live performance since the 95th Academy Awards in March 2023. As of now, there is no confirmation on what she will perform. Speculation around Gaga’s participation in the ceremony began after a press release from the Olympics teased “a show on a grand scale with an eclectic mash-up of the old and the new.” The rumors grew stronger after Gaga arrived in Paris on July 22. The film, scheduled for release on Oct. 4, 2024, stars Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix as Harley Quinn and the titular Joker. There is a chance the film will feature original music from Gaga, in addition to the confirmed renditions of classic musical numbers. Two of these songs were revealed in the new trailer. In one shot, Phoenix sings Stevie Wonder’s “For Once in My Life,” and at the end of the trailer, Gaga and Phoenix sing Judy Garland’s “Get Happy” together.
  2. Lady Gaga arrived in Paris today, a few days before the 2024 Summer Olympics ceremony. The singer was first seen this afternoon, arriving at her hotel in a blue denim hat and jacket. A few hours later, she left the hotel in her car but paused before driving away to wave and blow kisses to her fans. Later, she returned to the hotel and took some time to sign autographs and meet her fans. Gaga’s arrival in Paris comes after speculation that she will perform at this year’s Olympic Games. If so, this will be her first live performance since July 6, when she concluded the eighth leg of “Jazz & Piano” in Las Vegas. The rumors started after a press release from the Olympics teased “a show on a grand scale with an eclectic mash-up of the old and the new.” The Olympic Games will kick off on July 26, 2024.
  3. Last night, Lady Gaga finished the eighth leg of her “Jazz & Piano” residency in Las Vegas. The eight-show run opened at Dolby Live at Park MGM on June 19, 2024, and wrapped on July 6. Gaga has now played 48 "Jazz & Piano" shows since 2019.

  6. After taking to social media to dispel pregnancy rumors, Lady Gaga received support from Taylor Swift on her official TikTok account. On June 4, Gaga posted a TikTok referencing the rumors with lyrics from Swift’s “Down Bad,” affirming fans that she’s “not pregnant – just down bad cryin at the gym.” In the same post, Gaga encouraged fans to check their voter registration status at headcount.org.
