Shakira and Burna Boy at the 2026 FIFA World Cup Opening Ceremony
On June 11, 2026, global music superstars Shakira and Burna Boy delivered a high-energy joint performance to kick off the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The event took place at the historic Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, setting the stage just before the tournament’s opening match between co-hosts Mexico and South Africa.
The duo performed the tournament’s official anthem, “Dai Dai,” for the very first time. The track, which seamlessly blends pop, Afrobeats, and reggaeton, was written to support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund.
The 80,000-capacity stadium was treated to massive choreography, fireworks, and dancers twirling around a giant replica of the World Cup trophy. Shakira led the opening sequences before Burna Boy joined her center stage with his own dance crew to perform his featured verses.
Shakira drew immediate attention for her fashion choices, donning a bright yellow outfit, white shorts, large sunglasses, and platform sneakers. Most notably, she traded her signature blonde hair for a light strawberry-red color.
While the performance successfully hyped up the live crowd inside the stadium, it sparked a polarized reaction online. Fans praised the duo’s massive stage presence and the infectious energy of the collaboration. However, the televised broadcast drew some criticism over sound quality, lip-syncing accusations, and Shakira’s drastically different look even ignited viral, lighthearted “body double” conspiracy theories on social media.
