Björk's song 'I've Seen It All' was featured at the Sydney 2000 Olympics closing ceremony on September 21, 2000.
On September 21, 2000, the closing ceremony of the Sydney Summer Olympics featured Björk's song "I've Seen It All," originally composed for Dancer in the Dark and performed as a duet with Radiohead's Thom Yorke on the film's soundtrack. Its inclusion in the ceremony introduced her music to one of the largest global television audiences possible.
The Olympic closing ceremony represented a significant platform for artistic and cultural expression on the world stage, watched by hundreds of millions of viewers across nearly every country. Björk's presence there, following the critical success of Dancer in the Dark earlier that year at Cannes, reflected her rapidly expanding cultural footprint beyond the music industry into global mainstream consciousness.
This moment situated Björk, an artist from a nation of fewer than 300,000 people at the time, on a stage alongside major international performers, underscoring how thoroughly her unconventional artistic voice had permeated global popular culture.
The performance also foreshadowed her later, more direct involvement in an Olympic ceremony, when she would perform live at the Athens Olympics opening ceremony four years later.
