Tyla made a surprise guest appearance alongside Shakira at a sold-out show at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, joining her on stage to perform Shakira's classic hit "Hips Don't Lie". The performance drew widespread attention online, with fans celebrating the moment as a notable career highlight for Tyla just days ahead of her own album release.

The appearance came shortly after Shakira's high-profile performance at the World Cup Half-Time Show, which reportedly reached a global audience of around 100 million people. Tyla's collaboration with Shakira arrives days before the release of her new album, "A*POP", which is due out on 25 July 2026.
