While many fans were happy for both BTS and Lisa, it sparked some fighting online, especially about the wording for each act.

Some netizens hit back at fans, claiming that BTS’s announcement and impact were bigger due to the world “headliner” being used, alongside some huge acts like Madonna and Shakira.

Netizens quickly hit back at the allegations of Lisa’s performance, sharing proof from the website that the announcement said that the BLACKPINK singer was “headlining” the opening ceremony.

even the fifa president gianni infantino posted lisa on his personal instagram and called her one of the headliners for the opening ceremony in the us, yet people are still making up narratives to downplay her just to hype up their own faves. they’re never beating the insecurity…

Some even tried to hit back and claim that Lisa’s was a bigger achievement as she was listed as a “headliner” while BTS were listed as “co-headliners.”

The way FIFA called Lisa one of the GLOBAL superstars headlining the World Cup opening celebration while others got “co-headliner” labels 😭 no wonder people are trying so hard to downplay it.
