After an impressive 16-year stint in Las Vegas, beloved Canadian icon Celine Dion has relocated to the French capital to launch a new residency — and this time, she has an adorable companion by her side.

Beginning Sept. 12, the 58-year-old singer will take the stage several nights a week, performing for 40,000 fans at Paris La DĂ©fense Arena.

Aside from her surprise appearance at the 2024 Paris Olympics, this is her first major concert run since she was forced to cancel dates on her Courage World Tour in 2022 after revealing her battle with stiff-person syndrome. This condition, she said, has affected her ability to sing.

But now, she’s back and seemingly feeling better than ever.

Dion is set to perform throughout September and October; thanks to overwhelming demand, she has already announced an extension, returning to Paris La DĂ©fense Arena in May 2027 for another 10 shows.

During rehearsals, the “My Heart Will Go On” singer has been spotted around Paris interacting with fans and paparazzi, dancing, posing for cameras, and looking every bit like the glamorous diva we know and love.

On Sept. 7, Dion was filmed introducing her puppy, Madison, to fans and members of the media on the streets of Paris.

Back in January, Dion filmed a “What’s in My Bag” video for Instagram, and her tiny puppy could be heard barking in the background. The singer described her as a “beautiful” two-pound dog, but had kept her furry friend mostly out of the spotlight until now.

Fans are already obsessed with Madison, with many taking to X to comment on just how adorable she is.

“Celine Dion’s puppy looks exactly the way we would expect her puppy to look; she’s fabulous,” one fan wrote.

“Ohhh [Celine] is a dog lover. Dog lovers are the nicest people in the world. Love her even more now,” wrote another fan. 

Die-hard Dion fans know that the “I’m Alive” singer has been a dog lover for much of her life. She previously owned two golden retrievers, Charlie and Bear. The latter sadly passed away in 2024, and Dion even dedicated her documentary, I Am: Celine Dion, to him.

You’re going to want to keep your eyes peeled on social media for more glimpses of Dion, Madison, and their fabulous outfits while they’re in Paris.
