When CONMEBOL had to decide who was going to be the artist in charge of livening up the halftime show of the Copa America final held in Miami, they did not hesitate to turn to Shakira.
The Colombian saw how James, Luis Diaz and the rest of the team made it to a final in which very few expected them to do so. The night could have been perfect for the Barranquilla native, but Argentina won the title.
Shakira takes lie detector test to see if her hips don’t lie
Even so, the evening was more than fruitful for Shakira. First of all, she was reunited with the Miami audience, which has always professed great admiration for the singer. It also added to her profile given she has performed at the 2006 World Cup in Germany, South Africa 2010 and Brazil 2014.
Shakira’s show lasted seven minutes and delighted the audience at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, where she had already performed for the Super Bowl, along with Jennifer Lopez, in 2020.
However, Shakira’s performance ended up generating some controversy, as the halftime break went to 25 minutes instead of the regular 15.
The amount Shakira pocketed for performing at the Copa America
Juan Etchegoyen, journalist of the online program ‘Mitre Live’, shared the million-dollar figure that Shakira took home for performing those seven minutes.
According to his sources, the Colombian pocketed $2 million, something that has been catalogued as a huge figure. The net worth of the artist from Barranquilla is valued at around $300 million.
Conmebol considers that the investment is more than justified and the atmosphere at the Hard Rock Stadium proved that Shakira is still a safe bet for this type of event.
