Fans think Shakira will perform at Miss Universe after her newfound friendship with Sheynnis Palacios

Rumors are swirling that Shakira may perform at Miss Universe 2024, which will be held on November 16 in Mexico City. The speculation intensified after Shakira and Sheynnis Palacios, Miss Nicaragua, and other prominent Latin artists had a private party last month, sparking a flurry of excitement among fans. 

Though there has been no official confirmation yet, fans are hopeful that the Colombian pop icon could bring her signature charisma to the year's most anticipated beauty pageant. According to insiders, Miss Universe executives Anne Jakkaphong Jakrajutatip, Raúl Rocha, and Telemundo are allegedly in talks with Shakira to secure her appearance for the final event. 

While details remain under wraps, the prospect of Shakira joining the lineup has sent her fanbase into a frenzy. Social media is flooded with speculation on what songs she might perform. If the star confirms, this could be a great opportunity to promote her latest single, "Soltera."

Adding to the excitement, Shakira isn't the only music star rumored for the pageant. Mexican superstar Thalia and global sensation Black Eyed Peas are reportedly considered performers, setting the stage for an unforgettable show if all three artists make appearances.

Fans in the U.S. can watch the Miss Universe 2024 broadcast in Spanish on Telemundo, while audiences across Latin America can tune in via Telemundo Internacional or USA Network. The event will be streamed on the Roku Channel for English-speaking viewers, ensuring fans worldwide won't miss a beat.
