Shakira responds to body double rumors following 2026 World Cup opening performance

Following the 2026 World Cup opening ceremony at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, Shakira became the subject of online speculation. Social media users suggested that the Colombian singer may have used a body double during her performance of the tournament's official song, 'Dai Dai', alongside Burna Boy. The singer did not issue a formal statement regarding these allegations. On Monday, June 15, Shakira performed a concert in California. During the event, she was recorded smiling and removing her sunglasses in a gesture that fans interpreted as an indirect response to the rumors. While the claims about the body double remain unverified speculation, the artist's recent public behavior has kept the topic active in media discussions.
