Shakira recreated one of her best-known internet photos nearly 30 years after the original picture was taken. On August 3, 2026, the “Dai Dai” hitmaker shared a new Instagram picture of herself sitting at a desk beside a printer. She captioned the post with a cheeky message, saying “I have a feeling I’ve seen this before,” adding, “#letscreatetogether.” The pose clearly referenced an older photo in which she sat alongside a computer, typed on a keyboard, and smiled at the camera.

The original picture was reportedly taken in 1997 at the offices of El Heraldo in Barranquilla, Colombia. At the time, Shakira was still near the beginning of her international career. Years later, the photo became a popular internet meme. Social media users often connected it to old computer habits and office work culture. Fans also used the viral image to make jokes about MySpace profiles, messages, music and the platform’s famous Top 8 friends list.
Most recently. the Colombian singer uploaded another Instagram post on August 5, 2026, with the Triplets Ghetto Kids, the dancers who performed with her at the 2026 FIFA World Cup halftime show. According to reports, Shakira invited them to join her for a performance of “Dai Dai” after watching the children dance to the song in a viral video.
