Overview
- Shakira performed in the FIFA World Cup final halftime show on July 20 and then opened the U.S. leg of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour that same night in Brooklyn with a “World Cup Edition” billing.
- During the July 20 Barclays Center concert she staged surprise onstage collaborations with Tyla on “Hips Don’t Lie,” Ed Sheeran on a stripped-down “Underneath Your Clothes,” and Burna Boy on “Dai Dai.”
- Fan-shot videos and backstage photos of the guest appearances spread rapidly online and drove praise for the pairings and calls for possible future collaborations.
- The “Dai Dai” performance ties to ongoing philanthropy because the single supports the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, with royalties pledged to the fund and matching support reported from industry partners.
- The Brooklyn shows continue this week with a second night in New York followed by dates in Elmont and Atlantic City, and Tyla’s high-profile duet arrives days before her July 24 album release, reinforcing both artists’ momentum.
