Shakira's FIFA performance sparks 'clone' buzz, 'is that really her?'

Shakira's fans have noticed something, and it seems like the internet agrees with them on this.

The American singer recently headlined the opening ceremony for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and has sparked major buzz.

The video of her performance is going viral, but the supporters of the dancer has noticed something odd.

According to some rumors, the Waka Waka hit maker has a clone, and she usually sends her to perform when she doesn't want to.

Sharing her dance video, a person penned, "It's not Shaki. Something urgent came up at the last minute, and I feel like at the very last second they called in a stunt double, because she doesn't have her energy, nor does she look the same, and then she comes out wearing glasses."

The uploaded clip with an astonishing caption has garnered over 4.5 million views in only a few hours, as a lot of people agree with the statement.

One person penned in the comment section, "That's what I thought, that it wasn't Shakira,"

The 49-year-old's supporters also chimed in and reasoned with the theory, saying that she was probably just nervous because of the crowd and looks different because of her tough routine.

It is to be noted that the event was held at the iconic Estadio Azteca in Mexico City with over 80,000 people in the audience.
