Just minutes after the FIFA World Cup 2026\u2122 opening ceremony took place on Thursday, June 11, 2026, a wave of conspiracy theories flooded social media. Some users are insisting that the real Shakira did not perform live, but instead a double danced and lip-synced during the event. <\/p>\n
Comments on X (formerly Twitter) ranged from \u201cThat\u2019s not Shakira,\u201d \u201cCall me crazy, but was that really Shakira?\u201d to \u201cWhy did they bring a double?\u201d and \u201cShe doesn\u2019t even look like Shakira.\u201d One user bluntly stated, \u201cThe lip sync is so obvious.\u201d <\/p>\n
The main argument fueling these claims is the suspicion that the singer was lip-syncing her song \u201cDai Dai.\u201d Others pointed out that the dance moves didn\u2019t match Shakira\u2019s signature hip movements, which have been iconic since the start of her career. <\/p>\n
Additional observations included the absence of close-up shots during the performance, the use of a blonde wig, noticeable changes in facial features, and a silhouette that didn\u2019t seem to match the Colombian star. <\/p>\n
While these theories have sparked debate online, it\u2019s worth remembering that large-scale live events often use production techniques\u2014like limited close-ups or playback\u2014to ensure a flawless show for millions worldwide. Regardless, Shakira\u2019s presence at the World Cup opening remains a highlight, celebrating cultural diversity and the global spirit of the tournament.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
