Shakira's performance at the 2026 World Cup opening ceremony in Mexico City's Azteca Stadium has sparked debate over whether the Colombian artist was actually on stage or if it was a look-alike. Social media users and sports daily Marca have raised questions about the singer's movements, facial expressions, and the use of sunglasses during the performance.

Some viewers pointed out that the performer missed a specific dance step from 'Día Día' and wore sunglasses throughout, fueling speculation about a possible body double. The resemblance of Venezuelan impersonator 'Shakibeca' to Shakira has also added to the confusion.

Neither Shakira nor her team has issued an official response to the speculation.
