Shakira Releases World Cup Song and Pledges All Royalties to Education Fund

Her charitable move and record‑breaking tour reflect a renewed professional surge rooted in personal recovery and global reach.

Overview

  • Shakira and Burna Boy released “Dai Dai” as the official 2026 FIFA World Cup song and Shakira has said she will donate 100 percent of the single’s royalties to the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund.
  • The singer is set to co‑headline the first‑ever World Cup final halftime show on July 19 at MetLife Stadium alongside Madonna and BTS, a confirmed appearance announced by event organizers.
  • Her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour has been declared the highest‑grossing tour by a Latin/Hispanic artist, reported as a Guinness World Record at roughly $421.6 million, and she begins a U.S. leg of the tour on June 13.
  • In a People interview published Wednesday, Shakira described recent years as a period of growth, called the 2023 Bizarrap session “pure catharsis,” and said she is focused on raising her sons rather than dating now.
  • A Spanish judge recently ruled in her favor in a tax dispute, removing a major legal cloud from her public narrative and allowing her World Cup and charity efforts to take center stage.
