Shakira’s 2026 FIFA World Cup Opening Ceremony Performance Prompts Body Double Conspiracy Theories
The pair performed the tournament’s official song before more than 80,000 spectators, while online speculation focused on Shakira’s appearance.
- During the FIFA World Cup opening ceremony at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City on June 11, Shakira performed 'Dai Dai' alongside Nigerian artist Burna Boy in front of more than 80,000 spectators, immediately sparking viral social media accusations that she used a body double.
- Fans scrutinized the performance, noting apparent differences in Shakira's energy and physical features, with speculation focusing on Botox, age, and her legs appearing thinner and less fluid than usual.
- "What a stellar performance by Shakira & Burna Boy," one viewer wrote, while Reddit users dissected the footage, claiming, "Immediately, it was clear that it wasn't her."
- Speculation intensified as users proposed a potential motive: Shakira has concerts scheduled in Los Angeles on June 13 and 14, only a three-hour and 45-minute flight from Mexico City.
- Many fans rejected the body-double theory as unrealistic, arguing that expectations for Shakira's appearance were unfounded; observers noted the conspiracy relies on tenuous evidence at best.
