Shakira has added another historic achievement to her illustrious career. On October 3, her concert in Madrid became the most-livestreamed performance by a female artist on Amazon Music, marking a milestone for both the platform and the global superstar. The show was part of her record-breaking Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, which has already cemented its place as the most successful trek of her career to date.
The Madrid performance stood out not only for its streaming success but also for a surprise guest appearance. British pop sensation Dua Lipa joined Shakira on stage for a duet of the fan-favorite track Antología. The collaboration delighted fans watching live at the custom-built Shakira Stadium—a temporary venue with a capacity of over 50,000—and those tuning in via Amazon Music, Prime Video, and Twitch. While Amazon Music did not release specific streaming numbers, the broadcast was a centerpiece of The Women Shaping Latin Music, the 2026 edition of the platform’s annual Music Connects Us campaign, which celebrates female artists shaping the genre.
A Residency for the Books
The Madrid residency was initially planned as a three-night stand but was extended to 12 nights due to overwhelming demand. The final shows in Spain are scheduled for October 9, 10, and 11, offering fans one last chance to experience the spectacle before Shakira takes the tour to new global landmarks. Beyond Madrid, the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour will visit: - Bishkek Arena, Kyrgyzstan - Pyramids of Giza, Egypt
The residency in Madrid was more than just a series of concerts. Shakira curated a cultural hub at the temporary stadium, featuring exhibitions, workshops, and activities that celebrated Latin heritage. The immersive experience reflected the artist’s commitment to blending music with cultural storytelling, a hallmark of her career.
A Tour Like No Other
Shakira’s Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour has already made history as her most successful tour ever. According to Pollstar Boxoffice, the trek has grossed $491.6 million from 3,778,276 tickets sold across 112 shows. The tour’s success underscores her enduring global appeal and the growing influence of Latin music worldwide.
For fans, the tour is a celebration of Shakira’s evolution as an artist. Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran (translated as Women No Longer Cry) is her first album in seven years, and the tour serves as a powerful showcase of its themes—resilience, empowerment, and artistic reinvention. The album’s blend of pop, reggaeton, and rock has resonated with audiences, further solidifying Shakira’s status as a genre-defying icon.
What’s Next?
With just three nights left in Madrid, fans are eagerly anticipating the tour’s next stops. While the Kyrgyzstan and Egypt shows promise to be visually stunning, given their iconic venues, no further details about additional dates or special guests have been announced. For now, the focus remains on closing out the Madrid residency with the same energy and passion that has defined the tour so far.
For those unable to attend in person, the October 3 livestream remains a testament to Shakira’s ability to connect with audiences worldwide. Whether through record-breaking streams or sold-out stadiums, her impact on the music industry—and her fans—continues to grow.
