The 2024 Paris Olympics<\/a> have come to an end, and Australia have won more gold medals than the country ever has, thanks largely to our girls! To see The City Of Lights out, and to pass the baton to The City Of Angels<\/a> who will host the 2028 Olympic games, Billie Eilish performed at the closing ceremony. Well, she performed from a quintessentially Californian lifeguard post in Venice Beach.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old singer, who famously surprised fans by flying economy,<\/a> took to the light blue stage in a custom Polo Ralph Lauren<\/a>\u00a0jersey and cap to perform her hit single \u201cBirds Of A Feather\u201d, a song aptly about people being united under the same interests. She was accompanied by her brother Finneas. You can watch the uplifting performance here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Born in Los Angeles, Eilish was just one of many big American stars to help with the Paris to LA handover. Snoop Dogg and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers performed, and H.E.R. sang the American national anthem. Tom Cruise also leapt off the roof of the stadium in Paris, Mission: Impossible<\/em>-style.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe LA28 Handover promises to showcase the heartbeat of LA\u2014which like the Olympics\u2014is where people come from all over the world to pursue their dreams,\u201d Executive producer and creator of the event, Ben Winston, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope to showcase a collection of Los Angeles stories\u2014featuring the city\u2019s people, creativity, music and of course sport, all wrapped up with a little Hollywood magic\u2014to invite the world into the LA28 Games.\u201d<\/p>\n

In\u00a0an interview<\/a>\u00a0from four years ago, Eilish opened up about her love for her city.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs much as people think LA is unfriendly, I think it\u2019s pretty friendly. It\u2019s there to help you,\u201d she said at the time. \u201cLA kind of has everything. You don\u2019t even realise it. There\u2019s like a couple little spots that I like to go to be alone. I love driving. That\u2019s all I do. Now, it really feels like my home. Every time I come back, I feel back to myself and back to who I am and my roots. LA is inspiring in a lot of ways.\u201d<\/p>\n

See you in 2028.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":94172,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[23,38,16],"yoast_head":"\nBillie Eilish Performs At Paris 2024 Olympics Closing Ceremony<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Billie Eilish performed atop a lifeguard stand in Venice Beach during the 2024 Paris Olympics Closing Cermony.
