I feel so completely grateful to have been asked to open the Paris @Olympics 2024 this year. I am also humbled to be asked by the Olympics organizing committee to sing such a special French song—a song to honor the French people and their tremendous history of art, music, and theatre. This song was sung by Zizi Jeanmaire, born in Paris a French ballerina, she famously sang “Mon Truc en Plumes” in 1961. The title means “My Thing with Feathers.” And this is not the first time we’ve crossed paths. Zizi starred in Cole Porter’s musical “Anything Goes” which was my first jazz release. Although I am not a French artist, I have always felt a very special connection with French people and singing French music—I wanted nothing more than to create a performance that would warm the heart of France, celebrate French art and music, and on such a momentous occasion remind everyone of one of the most magical cities on earth—Paris. We rented pom poms from Le Lido archive—a real French cabaret theater. We collaborated with Dior to create custom costumes, using naturally molted feathers. I studied French choreography that put a modern twist on a French classic. I rehearsed tirelessly to study a joyful French dance, brushing up on some old skills—I bet you didn’t know I used to dance at a 60’s French party on the lower east side when I was first starting out! I hope you love this performance as much as I do. And to everyone in France, thank you so much for welcoming me to your country to sing in honor of you—it’s a gift I’ll never forget! Congratulations to all the athletes who are competing in this year’s Olympic Games! It is my supreme honor to sing for you and cheer you on!! Watching the Olympic Games always makes me cry! Your talent is unimaginable. Let the games begin!
@volvocars@volvocarusa My Volvo XC40 Recharge EV is a lemon. Car stalls while driving, scary error messages ("Do not drive", "headlamp malfunction", "vehicle propulsion" & more), 32+ days in repair since Feb 2023. NOT A SAFE CAR!!! #Volvo#Volvocars#safetyinmind#Volvoxc40
If anyone can get me to understand what non-fungible digital token is I will come work for you full time as your secretary/attaché/emotional support dog
To those who have recently fallen in love with our #Lionesses and to those who have been here since the beginning. Your support means the world. This thing that is happening, doesn’t end here.
Thank you x

“I don’t want to hear another word about if they scored too much or over-celebrated. This team is on attack-fighting not just to win-but to prove a larger point. You don’t make up a chronic pay gap w ladylike restraint-You do it by kicking through a wall” https://t.co/MOWsFI3lU0
One of my favorite things about the @USWNT is that they are always trying to solve problems that arise. No matter the score line. Always getting better. Relentless pursuit of excellence. #swagger
