Roy Keane Just Laid Bare the Truth About Shakira’s Halftime Show (and We’re Here for It)

Here’s the scoop: during the World Cup final halftime extravaganza, our favorite cranky commentator, Roy Keane, 54, casually tossed the musical performance into the anti-climactic bin, which honestly, fair. But hold onto your hats—he followed it up with, 'It’s always nice to see Shakira.' A true connoisseur of the obvious, this one.

Shakira, the 49-year-old superstar, dazzled in a pink and yellow sequined bodysuit while belting out Dai Dai with Burna Boy. The Muppets made a cameo, but let’s be real, they should’ve stayed offstage. When Roy was pressed about the spectacle, his response was pure gold: 'It was a bit of an anti-climax, but I think the people in the stadium probably enjoyed it more than us.' Ouch. Brutal, yet refreshing honesty.

Ian Wright chimed in about maybe needing a little more oomph, while Gary Neville was all, 'I quite enjoyed it—let’s hope the second half picks up!' A fan on X noted, 'Roy Keane happy to see Shakira. Man of taste I see,' and honestly, who can argue with that? Another jumped in with, 'When Roy Keane approves of Shakira too. Those hips don’t lie.' So there you have it—Roy Keane, the unexpected Shakira stan, just keeping it real one lackluster halftime show at a time.
