After criticism and theories on social media regarding her appearance at the opening ceremony of the 2026 World Cup, the singer made her comeback with a video that reignited the online debate.

The 2026 World Cup began with an opening ceremony on June 11 at the Estadio Ciudad de México, a grand spectacle that brought together several international music personalities on one of the world's greatest stages.

Among the most anticipated performances of the evening was Shakira's alongside Burna Boy, performing the song "Dai Dai," a show that quickly became one of the most talked-about moments of the tournament's opening.

A performance that elicited both applause and doubt.

While the performance was widely praised by a portion of the audience, a parallel conversation began to develop on social media, going beyond the music itself.

Some internet users questioned various aspects of her performance, including her choice to wear sunglasses during the World Cup opening match, as well as details of her outfit and the overall staging. But it was the comments about her appearance that generated the most reactions, with some claiming she "didn't look like herself" or that she appeared noticeably different from her recent public appearances.

These reactions fueled theories and debates that quickly spread across digital platforms, where every image of the performance was analyzed from multiple angles.

The video that reignited the debate

Today, Shakira reappeared on social media with a video showing her dancing to "Dai Dai", this time in a more relaxed setting, far from the spectacular staging of the World Cup.

In the video, she appears without sunglasses and with a different energy, which many fans interpreted as a more familiar version of herself, away from the spotlight of the event.

From that moment on, the online conversation resumed with renewed vigor. Some users saw it as a subtle response or a personal reaffirmation following the criticism, while others considered it a typical activity of hers on social media.

What remains clear is that this episode reflects a growing trend among international public figures: each appearance at major events generates not only immediate reactions, but also subsequent interpretations that continue to spread on social media.

A tour that continues despite the noise

While the online debate continues, Shakira remains focused on her schedule as part of her "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" world tour, with dates planned in several North American cities in the coming days.

A scene where, beyond the spotlights of the World Cup, his public presence remains very active and constantly scrutinized by the whole world.
