They continue: "Unlike other offers which are full shows, making an appearance at the opening ceremony would see Celine performing just one song.

"The formal offer to perform was made earlier this year, and Celine is working around the clock to make it happen. She’s made huge leaps and is getting stronger every day, but she’s not out of the woods yet. Everyone has their ­fingers crossed it is able to happen. It will be quite the moment."

French artist Christine and the Queens may also appear on stage, with previous Olympics Opening Ceremonies tending to have singers from their home country perform.

But if officials did decide to break from tradition, A-listers such as Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter may make their Olympic debut in 2024 with a special performance.

Upon hearing these rumours, fans of the pop icons were quick to head to X, formally known as Twitter, to discuss their thoughts on their possible appearances.

One user wrote: "We want Taylor to perform at the opening ceremony."

With another adding: "SABRINA PERFORMING AT THE OLYMPIC OPENING CEREMONY????? ICONIC!!!!"

Lady Gaga has also been added to the rumoured line up of potential performers after reportedly being spotted arriving in the French capital this week.

While we'll have to wait for the official confirmation of who is taking part in the Opening Ceremony, there have been some people confirmed to be taking part.

French talents Fanny Herrero, Leïla Slimani, Patrick Boucheron and Damien Gabriac will all play an important role in the Opening Ceremony as scriptwriters.
