BTS lights up World Cup stage with Madonna, Shakira, Justin Bieber
ONP Summary
The 2026 World Cup Final between Argentina and Spain at New York/New Jersey Stadium featured the tournament's first-ever halftime show, an 11-minute performance spanning multiple global superstars. The spectacle included Shakira, Madonna, BTS, Justin Bieber, and Burna Boy performing 'Dai Dai,' the official tournament song.
Progressive:Historic multicultural celebration — progressive outlets celebrated this unprecedented gathering of diverse international artists performing together at a World Cup final for the first time.
Moderate:Major international coordination — centrist sources highlighted FIFA's achievement in delivering high-caliber entertainment without disrupting the match itself.
BTS, alongside Madonna, Justin Bieber, and Shakira each brought a bit of one of their hits to the World Cup's first halftime show in a whirlwind performance Sunday that also squeezed in Burna Boy, Ted Lasso and many Muppets.
The show at what's otherwise known as MetLife Stadium, outside New York, was an attempt to bring Super Bowl vibes to the World Cup, but the 11-minute performance was considerably more packed than the usual one-headliner, 13-minute American football counterpart.
Each headliner here spent about two minutes performing.
Madonna opened the show with her 2000 dance-pop hit “Music,” joined by star Brazilian soccer players of yesteryear, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho.
It started with an apparently prerecorded piece in a roller rink before she rode into the stadium on a dune buggy, singing, “Music, makes the people come together.” Venezuelan conductor Gustavo Dudamel led an orchestra through the White Stripes’ sports anthem “Seven Nation Army,” while the Muppets house band — including drummer Animal in lieu of Meg White — provided furry shakes in the background.
