Shakira creates a 100 million view sensation at the 2026 World Cup.
Shakira’s 2026 World Cup theme song is creating a sensation worldwide.
The official song of the tournament, “Dai Dai,” surpassed 100 million views in just two weeks after its release. This number helped Shakira make history as one of the most-viewed music videos before the World Cup began.
The song, performed by Shakira and rapper Burna Boy, has a catchy melody and quickly received much praise from the public. Its popularity is predicted to increase even further when the biggest football event on the planet kicks off on the morning of June 12th.
With her fourth appearance at the World Cup, Shakira continues to solidify her position as the artist most successfully associated with this prestigious tournament. Speaking to the media, the Colombian singer said she has always had a special connection with football and feels that this bond has never been broken.
Shakira continues to demonstrate her appeal at World Cups.
Shakira’s journey at the World Cup began in 2006 when she performed a remix version of “Hips Don’t Lie” before the final match between Italy and France. At the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, she created a global phenomenon with “Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)”. This music video has now surpassed approximately 4.5 billion views, placing it among the most-watched music videos in history.
Four years later, Shakira released “La La La” for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. This song also garnered over 1.3 billion views across online platforms.
Not only will Shakira lend her voice to the official song of the 2026 World Cup, but she has also been confirmed to perform live during halftime of the final match on July 19th alongside Madonna and the group BTS.
