On Sunday afternoon, excitement was high for the grand finale of the 2026 FIFA World Cup at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, which saw Team Argentina face off against Team Spain. But just as thrilling as the action on the pitch was the first-ever halftime show, during which musical acts including Shakira, Madonna, BTS, and Justin Bieber took the field.
For Bieber’s appearance during the show, the singer serenaded the audience with a crooning rendition of “Everything Hallelujah” from his 2025 album Swag II. Featuring only his vocals and a stripped-back guitar sound, it was a refreshing interlude during a dance-pop-heavy showcase.
Naturally, Bieber had to wear his own designs for the occasion: The musician and designer wore pieces from his own brand SKYLRK, including a custom deconstructed green shirt layered over a boxy white collared polo, baggy denim shorts (a Bieber signature), white ribbed socks, and beige low-top sneakers (the new Matter Daddy style that his brand debuted just this weekend).
It’s been an eventful weekend for diehard Beliebers. On Thursday in New York, the Canadian pop star launched an exclusive pop-up for SKYLRK, where he sold new clothing, footwear, and even portable speakers. Bieber also made a surprise appearance at Fanatics Fest, where he performed a surprise rendition of his song “Yukon” (shirtless!). Rounding out all the action with a splashy World Cup performance this afternoon? It’s a good time to be a Bieber fan.
