Lisa of K-pop girl group BLACKPINK made history anew as she officially became the first idol to perform at the prestigious Crazy Horse in Paris.

On Wednesday, September 28, the Thai rapper officially made her debut performance in Crazy Horse.

According to earlier reports, the “Money” hitmaker will headline five iconic performances between September 28 to 30. 

What we know about Crazy Horse

For those unfamiliar, Crazy Horse in Paris is a well-known cabaret famous for its alluring stage performances featuring nude female dancers. 

Aside from Lisa, international celebrities like Beyonce, Aubade, and Frederick Wiseman, have all previously performed at the art theater.

In an interview with ELLE, Andrée Deissenberg, the show’s chief creative and brand officer, shared how Lisa’s participation in Crazy Horse came to be. 

According to Diessenberg, the K-pop star has been a huge fan of the show even beforehand. Prior to being part of it, Lisa had already gone to see the show several times and met the performers backstage. 

Moreover, Diessenberg continuously praised Lisa for her dedication in delivering a good show. “She stayed in Paris and practiced repeatedly. She’s done very well, professionally. We practiced during their Paris concert in July, and we kept the whole process a secret,” she said. 

Additionally, she revealed that Lisa was also proactive in terms of planning the overall production. And contrary to the tradition of having solo performances, the star opted to perform with existing dancers instead. 

Days before her first show, Lisa also took to social media to share her excitement for her performance. 

“Can’t wait for this to finally happen,” she wrote, alongside photos of her from the venue.

 

Reaction on Lisa’s performance

Since her participation in Crazy Horse was announced, it drew mixed reactions from fans and strangers alike. 

Several were debating whether it’s too much of a risque performance. While many were supportive of Lisa expanding her craft. 

Since recording devices weren’t allowed during the show, fans who watched Lisa’s debut performance shared their thoughts on social media instead. 

Most of them were complimenting Lisa, and even shared snippets from what happened to the show. 

Earlier, it was reported Lisa will be performing classics including “But I’m a Good Girl” and “Crisis? What Crisis?” And according to those who were able to watch the show, she had four solo numbers. 

Aside from her performances though, another highlight was her fellow BLACKPINK members Jisoo and Rosé showing support for her.
