Madonna, Justin Bieber, BTS, and Shakira joined forces for a history-making spectacle at the final of the FIFA World Cup 2026.
The global superstars led the tournament’s first-ever FIFA Final Halftime Show, delivering a fast-moving medley packed with Pop hits, choreography, surprise appearances, and nods to the big game.
Watch the action below…
Queen of Pop Madonna launched the 11-minute production with a reworked rendition of ‘Music’ with ‘Danceteria from her latest album ‘Confessions II,’ arriving with Brazilian football legends Ronaldo and Ronaldinho before commanding the pitch.
BTS followed with a football-themed take on ‘Dynamite,’ complete with newly adapted lyrics, while Bieber shifted the mood with a stripped-back performance of ‘Everything Hallelujah.’
The tempo quickly soared again when Shakira and Burna Boy united for the tournament’s official anthem, ‘Dai Dai.’ Backed by Uganda’s Ghetto Kids, the pair transformed the stadium into a sea of movement and colour.
The Muppets, Coldplay and more also contributed to the ambitious production, which was curated by Chris Martin and staged in support of the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund.
The Halftime extravaganza followed a packed pre-match ceremony that saw Jennifer Hudson soar with the US national anthem.

Grandonna performing in the basement is the kind of comedy you pay to avoid like watching a dial-up modem try to stream Spotify. Just like her new single bubbling under the Hot 100… 😆 It’s so close to the bottom, even tumbleweeds are rolling past it. Bless her heart for trying, but some basements are better left empty. 🙁

😆
Granny cant dance anymore…please stay home. Nobody wants to see those recycling smelly sheer Temu pantyhose ok…
😂😂😂
Madonna presented prerecorded 💩 apart from a live walk out as that’s all she could manage…👀
I’d rather watch my dad wipe his a$$ than this
Poor Grandma Donna, performing in the basement just like her latest single on the Billboard Hot 100..
Bubbling Under!!! 😩
Madonna’s performance WAS a disappointment, but THE WHOLE THING was stale and uneventful. SB Halftime Show doesn’t have any competition to worry about with this…
