Lady Gaga has once again cemented herself as a queen of the entertainment industry with her performance at the Paris Olympics.

The video starts with her walking down the stairs as two men hold bright pink feathered fans in front of her. She has had many iconic performances in the past, but this one is right up there with the best, and fans have praised her for her professionalism and versatility.
