Shakira has officially cemented her status as the queen of global anthems once again. Her latest single, "Dai Dai," a vibrant collaboration with Afrobeat powerhouse Burna Boy, has rapidly climbed into the Top 5 on Spotify’s Global Songs chart. Serving as the official anthem for the FIFA World Cup 2026, the track is also making waves in Spain and has secured a rare spot on the Billboard Hot 100, mirroring the massive international cultural impact of her 2010 hit "Waka Waka."
The infectious track benefits from major star power behind the scenes as well, featuring a notable songwriting contribution from British superstar Ed Sheeran. This creative partnership highlights the deep artistic friendship between the two global icons and has added massive anticipation for the newly previewed Spanish version of the song.
Simultaneously, the Colombian singer-songwriter is filling stadiums across North America with her highly acclaimed Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran world tour. The spectacular production has already generated immense buzz online, particularly for the viral choreography featuring giant digital tigers during her performance of the song "Zoo." Shakira has continued to surprise audiences by teasing upcoming guest appearances, dropping hints that Sheeran and Swedish pop star Zara Larsson may join her on stage during future tour dates.
As the American leg of the tour progresses, anticipation is already building for her upcoming concert residency at Macondo Park in Spain. Shakira recently delighted fans by revealing that her classic track "Sale el Sol" will be performed exclusively during these Spanish dates. The song carries a profound emotional weight for the artist, written originally as a heartfelt tribute to her late friend Gustavo Cerati of the legendary rock band Soda Stereo.
With her new World Cup anthem dominating global charts and her massive stadium tour continuing to captivate audiences worldwide, Shakira is proving that her cultural influence remains unmatched in 2026.
