They were in the middle of church when, suddenly, a woman started singing Waka Waka as if Shakira had chosen her for her own exorcism. According to the video circulating on social media, she said she was “possessed” by the singer and couldn’t stop moving.
The scene reportedly took place in Colombia and shows several people trying to hold her while she enters a kind of trance. Up to that point it was already strange, but someone decided to take the moment to the next level and brought a microphone close to her. Because of course, if the demon came with a World Cup repertoire, people had to hear it properly.
That’s when the woman started singing and moving to the rhythm of Shakira’s classic, while those around her tried to control the situation. The video quickly went viral, among people who didn’t know whether to laugh, worry, or simply accept that the internet had won again.
That said, there isn’t much clear information about who the woman was or what happened afterward, so it’s best to take it for what it is: a pretty unusual viral clip. The only sure thing is that the scene left more questions than answers.
Because one thing is feeling possessed… and something very different is for the spirit to come with a World Cup choreography. Would Piqué have liked it? We don’t know.
