An interview featuring Shakira on the Spanish show "La Revuelta" turned into one of the year's most amusing TV moments on Wednesday. Her personal assistant attempted to slip by unnoticed on all fours during the broadcast, resulting in quite the opposite effect.
The Colombian singer joined host David Broncano via video call from Baltimore to discuss "Dai, Dai," the official anthem for the 2026 World Cup, and her upcoming 12-concert residency in Madrid. However, an unexpected incoming call during the live broadcast led to the evening's most hilarious chaos.
True to his style, Broncano encouraged Shakira to answer the call for a "three-way conversation." She declined without revealing the caller's identity, but the cameras picked up on something unexpected: a figure in a bright pink hoodie crawling across the background.
"What's happening?" exclaimed the studio crew as they watched the mysterious figure crawl in the opposite direction, trying to disappear. The entire studio erupted in laughter.
Shakira needed a few seconds to understand the laughter, but once she did, she couldn't help but join in. "That's my assistant! She was trying to hang up the call," she explained through giggles.
The unwitting star of the moment was Diana, a member of Shakira's team, who had hoped that crouching low would keep her out of sight. Her plan, as seen by thousands of viewers, did not succeed.
Broncano invited Diana to stand and wave to the camera. She appeared visibly embarrassed and could only manage a shy, "Pleasure to meet you." Shakira quickly embraced her to offer comfort, saying affectionately, "She looks like my little sister."
The host summed up the incident with, "That was quite something," and Shakira, with her usual humor, promised her assistant, "You're going to become famous in Spain."
The clip quickly went viral on social media, with thousands applauding the spontaneous and natural way both women handled the blooper.
Beyond the comedic moment, the interview allowed Shakira to discuss her remarkable artistic endeavors. "Dai, Dai," her collaboration with Burna Boy as the official anthem for the 2026 World Cup, boasts over 100 million monthly listeners on Spotify and hit number one globally on June 30.
The artist also shared details of her historic residency in Madrid, where she will perform 12 concerts from September 18 to October 11 at the temporary Estadio Shakira, which can accommodate over 50,000 people per night. "I'm going all out, doing everything possible to make it amazing and attract fans from all over Europe," she declared.
As for Diana, her fame in Spain is now assured, though perhaps not in the way she had anticipated.
