Justin Bieber surprised billions of viewers during the first-ever FIFA World Cup final half-time show by choosing to worship God instead of performing one of his best-known pop hits. Before an estimated global audience of up to two billion people, Bieber appeared on stage with only an acoustic guitar to sing 'Everything Hallelujah', a song from his 2025 album *Swag II* celebrating gratitude, faith, and God’s goodness. During the performance, he adapted the closing lyrics to include the words, 'It’s the World Cup, hallelujah.' The song had already become popular within the Christian music community, reaching the top of a Christian streaming songs chart. Sharing the stage with internationally renowned artists, Bieber’s simple, worshipful performance stood out for its clear Christian message. In recent years he has spoken increasingly openly about his faith, with his music reflecting themes of spiritual renewal and dependence on God. His decision to publicly glorify Christ on one of the world’s largest stages has encouraged believers around the globe.
