Someone desperately wanted to make a negative headline...

So what? I don't know the artist, her fans probably where there to hear that song, terrorists don't deserve to keep influencing the future happiness of people with their actions...

Yeah you’re right. It hasn’t made it to any front page news in France, and if it did, it would mean terrorists won. Glad they haven’t.

Yeah, there's no controversy or anything even oniony here.

It's her most famous song. It would be way more surprising if she didn't sing it.

its like they think that all of the people directly traumatized by the incident were there on the dance floor lmao

The song is awesome if you like a bit of europop from 2001:

But think of the click revenue! /s

I don't think it was meant to paint anyone in a negative light. The article is written very neutrally and quotes the artist addressing the irony.

Yeah I did not receive it in a negative way for the artist but in a way that highlights the absurdity of the situation.
