Shakira crowned the opening of the 2026 World Cup at the Azteca, along with Maná and Lila Downs, with her performance of ‘Dai Dai’, the official theme of the World Cup.
The theory has gained strength on social networks that Shakira may have used a double for the opening of the World Cup.
Univision reported that some users consider that the singer looked “different” compared to other performances. It has even been mentioned that it could be her imitator Rebeca Maiellano, known as “Shakibecca.”
Part of the speculation arose because the Colombian did not remove her glasses during the presentation. Among the arguments of those who support this theory is also that her curly hair looked like a “wig” and that the tone did not match her usual blonde, as it looked more yellow.
Shakira, on the other hand, has proven her presence and work. He has published in his stories photographs with Danny Ocean, J Balvin and other artists present at the inauguration.
After Mexico’s 2-0 victory against South Africa in the opening match, he shared a message on his Instagram stories. “Congratulations Mexico. I am happy for my Mexican family,” wrote the singer. Hours before, the Colombian also expressed: “May this 2026 World Cup pass in peace and be a source of joy and unity for everyone in the world.”
