From Fox Business: Celine Dion’s Paris Olympics opening ceremony performance was a boon for her music on Spotify, the audio streaming giant’s CEO said Tuesday.

Spotify’s Daniel Ek said on X there was a “surge in streams of @celinedion’s music overall” on the platform in the wake of the French Canadian singer taking the stage Friday during the highly watched event.

Her music experienced a 35% increase in streams globally, according to Ek. In the Olympic host country of France, her streams rose a whopping 65%.

Before her Olympic appearance, the singer had not performed in about four years due to pandemic disruptions and later her bout with stiff person syndrome, according to The Associated Press.

In a X/Twitter post, Dion shared a message about perseverance. She wrote: “I’m honored to have performed tonight, for the Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony, and so full of joy to be back in one of my very favorite cities! Most of all, I’m so happy to be celebrating these amazing athletes, with all their stories of sacrifice and determination, pain and perseverance. All of you have been so focused on your dream, and whether or not you take home a medal, I hope that being here means that it has come true for you! You should all be so proud, we know how hard you have worked to be the best of the best. Stay focused, keep going, my heart is with you! – Celine xx…”
