Colombian pop star Shakira said Kylian Mbappe was the first footballer to agree to appear in the music video for her new song "Dai Dai," speaking before France beat Morocco 2-0 in the 2026 FIFA World Cup quarterfinals.
Shakira watched the match from the stands with her family at Gillette Stadium in Boston-Foxborough, where France moved into the semifinals. Mbappe scored once, set up Ousmane Dembele for another goal and was named Player of the Match.
Speaking ahead of the game, Shakira thanked the footballers who took part in the video and pointed to Mbappe as the first player to accept the invitation.
The video later brought together several leading names in world football, including Harry Kane, Lionel Messi, Jamal Musiala, Luis Diaz and Vinicius Junior.
The moment linked Shakira's new music release with one of the standout matches of the World Cup, as Mbappe's performance helped France knock out Morocco and move one step closer to the final.
