Shakira Performs At 2014 World Cup

Wearing a sparkly, red dress and armed with a drum and a microphone, Shakira stormed the stage at Maracana Stadium in Rio De Janeiro with Brazilian collaborator Carlinhos Brown.

The singer also performed some of her signature dance moves and was accompanied by samba dancers dressed in the two finalist nation’s colors (red, yellow and black for Germany, blue and white for Argentina).

After Shakira’s performance, Santana, Wyclef and Alexandre Pires took the stage and performed “Dar Um Jeito (We Will Find A Way),” the official 2014 World Cup anthem. Finally, Brazilian star Ivete Sangalo came out to sing and was joined by all the performers on stage for one final dance. During the finale, Shakira brought out her 1-year-old son Milan and danced with him on stage.

This is the third time Shakira has performed at the World Cup. In 2006 she performed “Hips Don’t Lie” in Germany and in 2010, Shakira performed the official World Cup anthem “Waka Waka” at the closing ceremony in South Africa.

Other celebrities spotted at the World Cup finals included Rihanna, who partied with the German team after the game and even got to hold the World Cup trophy, and Gisele Bündchen.
