Celine Dion gave fans in Paris an unexpected post-concert performance when she climbed onto a parked car and sang with them while she was barefoot.

The 58-year-old balladeer continued celebrating after her comeback residency show on Friday, Sept. 18, at Plénitude Arena in nearby Nanterre, France.

The next thing she did that same day was stop outside a hotel in Paris, France, where a lot of fans had assembled to meet her.

Fan-captured videos show the Because You Loved Me songstress climbing onto a black car before removing her slippers and sitting on the hood with her legs crossed.

The singer soon joined the crowd in singing when her 1995 hit Pour Que Tu M’aimes Encore began playing.

Celine Dion swayed along to the music, tapped her feet, and appeared to conduct the fans as they sang with her. The crowd captured the spontaneous moment from several angles as the singer continued enjoying the music.

At one point, the singer stretched out across the hood before rolling over onto her stomach. She laughed as she got back up and continued dancing and singing on top of the vehicle.

The My Heart Will Go On hitmaker clapped along with the crowd and appeared to embrace the moment before eventually saying goodbye. She ended her impromptu performance with a heart gesture made with her hands.

The surprise encounter comes during Celine Dion’s highly anticipated return to live performances. She began her 26-date Paris residency earlier this month, marking her first concerts in six years after stepping away from the stage following her diagnosis with stiff person syndrome.

On Sept. 12, at the opening of her residency, the music icon turned emotional as she addressed the massive crowd.

“I had promised myself not to cry … So here I am, singing for you. Thank you so very much for your support, your patience, and if I may say so, I am everything I am because you loved me.”

Celine Dion also expressed her gratitude to her fans who were able to attend her show, as well as those who couldn’t.

"There are hundreds of people you can’t see behind the scenes — behind the scenes, on the sides, everywhere. Thank you all, because we put this show together. And to you all, I love you. Be careful. Take good care of yourselves. I’m so happy to be here. Thank you for accepting my invitation. I love you, my darlings."

Celine Dion was diagnosed with SPS in August 2022. In December that year, she released an emotional message, announcing her diagnosis.

“Trying to overcome this autoimmune disorder has been one of the hardest experiences of my life, but I remain determined to one day get back onto the stage and to live as normal of a life as possible.”

Nonetheless, she still expressed her support to those who had the same condition.

“I want to send my encouragement and support to all those around the world that have been affected by SPS. I want you to know you can do it! We can do it! Love Celine.”
