Is Victoria's Secret ready to go big for the next edition of their annual fashion show? Oui oui, y'all! The lingerie megabrand announced in a teaser video today that it will be holding its 2016 show in Paris. The French fashion mecca is also known as the City of Lights, so you can expect at least one model to walk down the runway wearing a lights-to-fabric ratio that is roughly 1,000,000 to one.

The announcement video depicts models with enthusiastic acting chops reacting to anonymous text messages informing them they're going to France, just as Jason Bourne does. According to People, the roster of confirmed appearances at the show includes Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima, Jasmine Tookes, and three quarters of Taylor Swift's circa 2015 #squad. No word yet on the musical performer this go round who will join the ranks of Selena Gomez in blue contacts and Swift herself.

The Victoria's Secret Fashion show has most frequently been held in New York, as it was in 2015. However, those Angels love to fly, and the show has previously set up shop in Cannes in 2000 and London in 2014. The event has produced many memorable moments over the years, including the annual reveal of the million dollar Fantasy Bra, the time Gigi Hadid felt "a little weird" standing in her underwear next to her sister's boyfriend The Weeknd, and when Ariana Grande nearly toppled over while dodging a particularly statuesque model.

To add a layer of genuine horror to the otherwise festive event,TMZ is reporting that fear of terrorism in Paris has forced organizers to delay the announcement until this month and keep the venue a secret for now. The event takes place in November, and will air in the U.S. on CBS on Dec. 5. Let's hope the most tragic thing that happens is an Eastern European model's regrettable attempt at a French accent.
