Global Superstars LISA, Anitta, Rema, Tyla, Future and Katy Perry Light Up FIFA World Cup 2026 Opener in Los Angeles

​Global Megastars Ignite the Pitch at Historic World Cup Opener in Los Angeles

​The FIFA World Cup 2026 has officially entered its pop-star era. In a breathtaking display of global unity, culture, and rhythm, music icon Katy Perry, rap titan Future, and global hitmakers LISA, Anitta, Rema, and Tyla took center stage to light up the United States’ opening ceremony on Friday, June 12, at the Los Angeles Stadium.

​The star-studded event kicked off 90 minutes before the highly anticipated USA vs. Paraguay opening match, setting a vibrant tone for what is slated to be the largest World Cup tournament in history.

​A Sonic Melting Pot: The Live Debut of "Goals"

​One of the absolute peaks of the ceremony was the first-ever live performance of "Goals", a high-octane track from the Official FIFA World Cup 2026 Album.

Brought to life by the powerhouse trio of BLACKPINK's LISA, Brazilian pop queen Anitta, and Afrofusion pioneer Rema, the song sent shockwaves through the packed stadium. Produced by Grammy-winner Cirkut, "Goals" is a masterclass in genre-blending, fusing Latin pop, K-pop, and Afrobeats into a borderless anthem that perfectly echoes the multicultural spirit of the tournament.

​“Music always unites people across the world, so it has been an honor to work with Anitta and Rema on this stage,” LISA shared.

​Future, Tyla, and Katy Perry Elevate the Energy

​The star power didn't stop there. Future brought his signature Atlanta trap energy to the West Coast pitch, while South African sensation Tyla—fresh off performing at Mexico City's opening ceremony the night before—captivated the crowd with her viral Amapiano rhythms and effortless choreography.
