Shakira Shines in First Copa America Halftime Show at 2024 Final Match

In a historic moment for Copa America, Colombian superstar Shakira lit up the stage during the halftime show of the 2024 final match between Argentina and Colombia. The performance, which took place at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, marked her debut at this prestigious tournament.

Decked out in a metallic silver skirt and halter top, Shakira kicked off her electrifying performance with her iconic hit, "Hips Don’t Lie." The crowd erupted as she passionately chanted, "Te Quiero, Colombia!" ("I love you, Colombia") midway through the song, further energizing the atmosphere.

Shakira's setlist included a mix of her classic and contemporary hits, featuring songs like "Te Felicito," "TQG," and "Puntería." Her flawless dance moves, accompanied by a dynamic group of female dancers and robot performers, mesmerized the audience and showcased her signature style.

The performance was visually stunning, with large 3D wolves and floating gems projected onto the soccer field, symbolizing Shakira's new artistic era. The innovative use of technology added a unique dimension to the show, making it a memorable experience for viewers both in the stadium and at home.

This halftime show was groundbreaking as it was the first time Copa America incorporated a Super Bowl-style performance, extending beyond the usual 15-minute break. The decision to hold this year’s tournament in the U.S. allowed organizers to introduce this new format, celebrating the fusion of sports and entertainment.

"Shakira is an extraordinary South American star who has dazzled the entire world," stated Alejandro Domínguez, president of CONMEBOL. He praised her ability to unite people through her music and anticipated that her performance would enhance the spirit of healthy passion and unity fostered by the tournament.

The halftime show was part of a star-studded event. Fellow Colombian artist Karol G performed the national anthem of Colombia, while Abel Pintos sang Argentina’s national anthem. Other notable musicians, including Feid and Maluma, were also present, adding to the evening's excitement.
