Celine Dion and Lady Gaga are reportedly teaming up to perform at the Paris Olympics on Friday, and we tell you how the musicians get paid when their songs are aired on the show. Keep watching to find out how!
Tetris Kelly:
The 2024 Summer Olympics are underway, and Taylor, Celine, Gaga, and Gwen are all reportedly involved. But who gets paid when Simone Biles uses Taylor Swift’s song in her floor routine? Well, NBC, which broadcasts the global event, pays a blanket fee to ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC, which license music to cover any potential music played during their live broadcast.
One song we know we’ll hear during the broadcast is “Hello World” by Gwen Stefani and Anderson .Paak. They even worked with Ryan Tedder on the lyrics and it’s already putting us in the Olympic mood ahead of tomorrow’s Opening Ceremony.
Speaking of which, according to French journalist Thierry Moreau, Céline Dion and Lady Gaga will team up to perform Édith Piaf’s “La Vie en Rose” at the opening ceremony. Billboard She reached out to both when the rumors first surfaced, but received no response from either party. It would be Dion's first performance since revealing her diagnosis of stiff-person syndrome.
