There’s no need to “Guess” which pop superstar is set to perform at the Paris Olympics closing ceremony, it’s reported to be Billie Eilish.
The 2024 Paris Olympics will officially come to a close on Sunday (11 August), a little more than two weeks on from the lavish opening ceremony. According to Variety, “Lunch” hit-maker and sapphic songstress Eilish will be one of the superstar names making an appearance.
“Drop It Like It’s Hot” rapper Snoop Dogg and “Californication” rockers Red Hot Chilli Peppers are also reportedly set to perform.
The closing ceremony will act as a handover between this year’s host Paris, and Los Angeles, where the Games will be staged four years from now.
All three rumoured artists have close connections to the City of Angels, with Eilish and Snoop Dogg being born in the area, and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers having formed there.
All three artists will be performing in Los Angeles live or in pre-recorded videos.
Representatives for the Olympics and the artists in question declined to comment when approached by Variety.
After the news broke, fellow pop superstar and Brat Summer originator Charli XCX briefly sent the gays of the internet into a spiral, seemingly teasing that she would be performing her Eilish collaboration “Guess” in Paris.
However, she swiftly clarified that she had been joking.
