Shakira is making a comeback at the World Cup once again. After electrifying the stage at the previous World Cup in South Africa, FIFA has invited the Colombian singer to perform at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Initially not on the lineup, Shakira was brought back due to the backlash against the opening performance by Pitbull and Jennifer Lopez, the poor reception of their song “We Are One (Ole, Ola)”, and the widespread criticism labeling it as the worst World Cup song ever. FIFA had no choice but to ask Shakira to return and rescue them from any further musical mishaps.
Which tune did she sing during the show?
Shakira dazzled the audience with her performance of ‘La La La (Brazil 2014)’, featuring Carlinhos Brown. This catchy track, known also as ‘Dare’, can be found on Shakira’s newest album, where it was produced by Dr. Luke, Cirkut, and Billboard.
When and where did this take place?
During the closing ceremony of the 2014 World Cup at Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro on July 13, 2014, the Colombian singer put on a performance of ‘La La La (Brazil 2014)’. This ceremony came before the final game between Germany and Argentina.
