Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Shakira has been rewriting the pop superstar playbook these past weeks. Just days ago, her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour set new historic records in Latin America and the United States, with ticket sales now surpassing 2.5 million according to LOS40 Spain. At 48, she’s become the first Latin female artist to headline a sold-out show at Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium, while in Mexico City, her run of stadium shows shattered Taylor Swift’s old record with eleven at Estadio GNP Seguros, and ticket sales so far have surpassed one million nationwide as reported by Ocesa. Mexican press estimate her Mexican shows have already delivered upwards of $30 million and with the Americas’ leg alone, the tour has grossed close to $250 million stateside and another $100 million throughout Latin America, with industry sources projecting she’ll ultimately top $300 million by the time she continues through Europe and Asia next year, a feat Billboard Boxscore calls one of the most profitable tours of the decade.
This steep commercial success is matched by a wave of continuous press and digital chatter. On August 20, she took a meditative beach break in Cabo, and her pink metallic bikini photos triggered a full-scale social media frenzy. Outlets from AmoMama to PageSix flooded timelines with those images that—depending on your perspective—either wowed fans with her ageless physique or fueled criticism of her swimsuit choices, but there’s no doubt the world was watching as the images went viral. Some praised her discipline and natural beauty, while her critics speculated about her mood, generating hundreds of thousands of interactions on Instagram alone.
Meanwhile, Shakira’s been highly visible off the stage as well. Her May appearance at the Met Gala and her chat with Jimmy Fallon caused a second round of headlines, as she discussed balancing motherhood, tour exhaustion, and the relentless pressure of living at center stage. Music outlets highlighted her collaborations with Cardi B, Karol G, and Rauw Alejandro from her twelfth studio album, and video clips of backstage moments with her sons Milán and Sasha fanned out across fan accounts.
Upcoming, she’s gearing up for major stadiums like Allegiant in Las Vegas and shows in Guadalajara, with Mexican media dubbing Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran “one of the most successful tours in the history of live entertainment.” As for speculation and rumor, while fans and pundits buzz about new music and a return to Europe and Asia, the only confirmed business moves center around her ongoing tour and forthcoming wardrobe surprises—no new ventures or relationships have been substantiated. In short, Shakira’s living proof that after decades at the top, she can still surprise the world, profit mightily, and stay the subject of perpetual fascination.
