When Shakira's hips don't lie, the whole world listens — and on June 11, they'll have 100,000 people swaying along at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. The Colombian pop icon is set to headline the opening ceremony for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, performing her official tournament song "Dai Dai" alongside Nigeria's Burna Boy in what promises to be a spectacular kickoff to the largest World Cup in history. Shakira will also be joined by Colombian reggaeton star J Balvin and South African singer-songwriter Tyla for the celebration before Mexico faces South Africa in the first of a staggering 104 matches across three nations. The phrase "Dai Dai" — Italian for "let's go" — captures the spirit of a tournament that spans the United States, Canada, and Mexico for the first time ever. Opening ceremonies will precede the first matches in each host nation, creating a synchronized global countdown. In Canada, Michael Bublé and Alanis Morissette will headline the Toronto ceremony before Canada takes on Bosnia and Herzegovina on June 12. Across the border in the United States, pop star Katy Perry and rapper Future will set the tone at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles before the USA faces Paraguay. But the celebration doesn't end when the final whistle blows. Shakira will return for an extraordinary shared spotlight at the World Cup final on July 19, co-headlining a Super Bowl-style halftime show alongside Madonna and K-pop giants BTS — a trifecta of global superstars performing for what could be the biggest single-day television audience on Earth. It's a signal that when the world's game takes center stage, music doesn't just accompany the moment — it becomes part of it.
