2024 Copa America Final: Shakira’s Halftime Show Performance

Shakira officially made her Copa America debut during the final match’s halftime show on Sunday (July 14). In the midst of the Argentina vs. Colombia game, the Colombian global star took the Hard Rock Stadium by storm with a medley of old and new hits.

Presented by Verizon, the superstar, dressed in a metallic silver skirt and halter top, kicked off the performance singing “Hips Don’t Lie.”

“Te Quiero, Colombia!” (I love you, Colombia), she chanted in the middle of the song. Accompanied by a group of dancers—female and robots alike—she continued with “Te Felicito,” “TQG,” and “Puntería,” where she also flaunted her flawless dancing skills.

On TV, the soccer field showcased large 3D wolves and floating gems, all representing her new era.

Shak has taken center stage at many renowned sports events including the World Cup, Davis Cup, NBA All-Star, and Super Bowl, but this marks her first performance at the oldest international soccer tournament. It also marks the first time ever that a soccer match features a halftime show a la Super Bowl, longer than 15 minutes. But organizers took advantage of the fact that this year’s Copa America took place in the U.S., where half time shows are customary.

“Shakira is an extraordinary South American star who has dazzled the entire world,” Alejandro Domínguez, president of CONMEBOL, previously said in a statement. “Her songs are sung and danced to in every corner of the planet, turning her art into a global phenomenon that crosses borders and is enjoyed by millions of people. We are sure that her performance at the Copa América USA 2024 will enhance the message of healthy passion and unity through sport.”

Ahead of her performance, fellow colleague Karol G performed Colombian’s national anthem, and Abel Pintos performed Argentina’s national anthem. Feid and Maluma were also amongst the other music stars present at the match.

In the United States, Copa América 2024 is broadcast in Spanish on Univision, TUND, and UniMás, and the match is available on FuboTV, DirecTV Stream and TUND’s streaming platforms. Plus, the halftime show can be seen on FOX, Fubo Sports, Fox Sports App, FOXsports.com, TyC Sports Internacional, and FOX Sports 1.
