Shakira has made headlines by breaking a major record previously held by Taylor Swift during her upcoming world tour. At 47, Shakira has achieved a remarkable milestone, becoming the first female artist to sell out five consecutive shows at the GNP Seguros Stadium in Mexico City, a venue that accommodates up to 65,000 fans.
Her highly anticipated “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran” (translated as “Women No Longer Cry”) world tour has created an overwhelming demand for tickets. In response, Shakira has decided to push back her North American dates and transition from smaller arenas to larger stadiums to accommodate the growing interest.
This world tour, named after her latest album, has been a chart-topping success, reaching the top of both Billboard’s Latin Pop Albums and Top Latin Albums charts. The excitement surrounding Shakira’s tour led to the addition of a fifth sold-out performance at the GNP Seguros Stadium, highlighting the incredible enthusiasm of her fanbase.
Shakira’s commitment to delivering an unforgettable concert experience is reflected in her ambitious production plans, which will utilize state-of-the-art technology. Fans can expect a show filled with stunning visuals and captivating performances.
The popularity of her recent single, “Soltera,” further cements Shakira’s influence in the music industry. The music video for “Soltera” amassed an impressive 4.5 million views within just one day of its release and has since skyrocketed to over 13 million views, breaking new records.
Amidst her impressive achievements, Shakira has expressed a desire to collaborate with Taylor Swift, stating earlier this year that “Taylor would be a luxury.” Their camaraderie was evident at the 2023 MTV VMAs, where Shakira’s performance of “Whenever, Wherever” drew attention, especially when the camera captured Swift joyfully dancing in the audience. Shakira later shared this memorable moment on Instagram, calling it a “real treat.”
