Grammy-winning Canadian singer Celine Dion returned to the stage on Friday, performing at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

Im honored to have performed tonight for the Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony, and so full of joy to be back in one of my very favorite cities! Dion said in a statement.
She continued to celebrate the athletes, praising their dedication and hard work.
