Summer is officially here, but the temperature is about to go up even more when Shakira takes over Las Vegas as part of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour. The international pop icon behind global hits like “Whenever, Wherever,” “Hips Don’t Lie,” “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)” and “She Wolf” was originally supposed to hit arenas in 2024, but overwhelming fan demand led to a full stadium upgrade and a shiny new 2025 schedule. Lucky us, Vegas gets front-row seats to one of the shows of the year.
The pop star is riding high from her record-breaking Latin America tour, which set new benchmarks in the music industry. When the Las Mujeres tour was announced there, 18 stadium shows—nearly a million tickets—sold out within two hours. Demand was so high that she had to add a fifth show in Mexico City, making her the first female artist to pull that off. In Colombia, she shattered records again, becoming the first female artist to perform in five stadiums across the country. When she lands in the desert this week, it’s safe to say those hips are sufficiently warmed up for what promises to be a stadium-shaking masterclass in pop domination.
The tour follows the release of Shakira’s 12th studio album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran (Women No Longer Cry), a bold, beat-driven celebration of strength and survival. It turns heartbreak into empowerment and empowerment into a reason to dance. The record became 2024’s most streamed album within 24 hours of its release and earned seven-times platinum certification, proving that sometimes the best art comes from life’s challenging moments. Shakira’s been through some public ups and downs recently, and instead of hiding, she’s turned that experience into anthems that make you want to shake off your own baggage on the dancefloor.
The Colombian superstar, the best-selling female Latin artist of all time, has a rare gift of connecting across languages and cultures that few can match, with numbers to back it up—95 million records sold worldwide, 27 billion YouTube views, three Grammys and 12 Latin Grammys. But the magic really happens onstage: With the shake of her hips, she can get 70,000 strangers on their feet.
Fans can expect a career-spanning setlist that bridges classic Shakira hits with newer chart-toppers like “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53” and “Soltera,” which recently exploded across Spotify’s global charts. Don’t be surprised if “La Tortura” and “Underneath Your Clothes” make appearances, too—this is an artist who’s been dropping bangers for more than two decades.
Shakira’s latest production isn’t just ambitious—it’s a high-voltage rebirth disguised as a concert. With mind-bending visuals, next-gen tech and what she’s cryptically teasing as “several surprises,” every element of the staging echoes the album’s themes of transformation, reckoning and radical self-renewal.
But beneath the heart-pumping beats is something more intimate: the raw, unfiltered story of a woman untangling her own life in real time while the world watches. It’s cinematic. It’s cathartic. It’s stadium-sized.
This is Shakira at her most vulnerable and powerful. Get ready to witness and dance.
