Seven-time Grand Slam champion Carlos Alcaraz and internet sensation IShowSpeed provided one of the more unexpected crossover moments of the FIFA World Cup 2026 celebrations, dancing and singing along to Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” at Justin Bieber’s exclusive after-party in New York City.
The gathering followed Spain’s sensational 1-0 victory over Argentina in the World Cup final on July 19. The match was decided by a goal from Ferran Torres in extra time, securing Spain’s second world title.
Alcaraz, who had presented the trophy earlier in the day and celebrated on the pitch alongside players including Torres and Lamine Yamal, carried the festivities into the evening at Bieber’s gathering.
A viral clip showed the pair grooving side by side, and the brief recording drew close to 300,000 views along with several thousand likes within hours of being posted.
IShowSpeed, Bieber celebrate FIFA World Cup in style
In the footage, IShowSpeed appeared in a white tank top and brought his characteristic energy to the dance floor, while Alcaraz matched his enthusiasm as onlookers cheered nearby.
The famous American YouTuber also performed at the closing ceremony before the FIFA final; his performance further electrified the massive crowd gathered to watch the match.
Alcaraz’s presence at the party capped an eventful stretch tied to soccer’s showcase event. He had joined actress Jung Hoyeon earlier to unveil the World Cup trophy from its Louis Vuitton case ahead of kickoff.
Meanwhile, after his performance during the tournament’s halftime show, Bieber hosted a party called the ‘SKYLRK After Party’. Major artists such as Madonna, Shakira, and BTS also featured in the halftime show.
After having a good time in New York, Alcaraz’s focus will once again shift to his return to the ATP Tour. After not playing a match since the Barcelona Open in April, the Spaniard is expected to finally return at the Cincinnati Open, set to begin on August 11.
However, the 23-year-old will have to recover completely from the wrist injury that has sidelined him over the past few months.
