Colombia may have lost the Copa América against Argentina, but at least they could celebrate the halftime show. Shakira, the country’s finest, headlined the final’s halftime show in Miami on July 14. She kicked off the seven-minute set with an energetic “Hips Don’t Lie” before moving into a run of new songs, including “Te Felicito,” “TQG,” and “Puntería,” the official song of the soccer tournament. The 47-year-old performed in glimmering silver on a futuristic, chrome-covered set, joined by chrome-dripped dancers and even a troupe of robots. She knows her way around a halftime show! There’s only one soccer fan who wouldn’t enjoy that: Shakira’s ex, Gerard Piqué. But, hey, she spared him “BZRP #53.”
