Here Are All the Musicians at the 2024 Paris Olympics

Mr. Nimbus | 07/26/2024

The 2024 Paris Olympics are officially in full swing, and the French capital has been taken over by athletes, artists, fans and celebrities.

BTS’ Jin was tapped to be South Korea’s official representative in the ceremonial torch relay. He led a 200-meter portion of the run that went by the Louvre Museum, before handing the torch back over to Sandra Laoura, a former French national freestyle skier in front of the iconic Louvre Pyramid.“It was an honor to be part of such a meaningful moment. I was able to take on the honorable role of a torchbearer thanks to the support of ARMY (BTS’ official fandom),” Jin said in a statement after participating in the relay on July 14. “I am truly grateful. I was so nervous to the point of not knowing how the time passed, but I was able to do my best thanks to the many people on site who loudly cheered me on,” he continued of the thrill of taking part in the relay whose themes are “harmony” and “peace.”

Snoop Dogg joined NBC’s team to report on the games this summer, and will be onsite to deliver “regular reports” on the Olympic Primetime Show. Snoop was also a torchbearer, carrying the torch through the streets of Saint-Denis, the northern Paris suburb that houses the Stade de France Olympic Stadium.

Lady Gaga was the first star to take the stage during the Opening Ceremony, delivering a cabaret-style performance of the French-language “Mon Truc en Plume” (“My Thing With Feathers”) in a minutes-long, highly choreographed routine, at one point playing piano.

Additionally, stars like Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Rosalía, Mick Jagger and more were spotted in attendance of the Olympic festivities in Paris.
