Shakira‘s performance at the opening ceremony of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Mexico City on Thursday, June 11, sparked an unexpected controversy.
While the singer delivered a vibrant rendition of the tournament’s official song, Dai Dai, some viewers speculated that the woman on the field was not Shakira at all.
The theory quickly spread across social media, with users pointing to her seemingly different height and what they described as unusual facial features as evidence.
