New York lived an unforgettable moment thanks to Shakira. During her expected concert at the Metlife Stadium, the Colombian artist stopped the show for a few seconds to give way to a very special guest. The public, standing and between shouting, received Ozuna, with whom he first performed the song “Monotony”, one of his most intimate and successful themes of recent years.
“Monotony,” launched in October 2022, quickly became a hymn of heartbreak. His lyrics, raw and sincere, speaks of wear in relationships and the emotional emptiness that is often lived in silence. Ozuna’s melancholic voice joined Shakira’s relief in a duet that charged a unique force on stage. More than 60,000 people witnessed this moment, and the ovation was such that it went viral in social networks in a matter of hours.

“I didn’t look for this, you were the one who changed,” they sang together, while the stadium screens showed fragments of the original video clip, reinforcing the emotional message of the song. The chemistry between the two artists was evident and ended up moving even those who did not expect such a shocking live collaboration.
A tour that empowers and surprises
This special appearance is part of the “Women no longer cry World Tour”, the tour with which Shakira has returned to the stage after an intense personal stage. Far from retreating, the artist decided to transform everything into art and go to the world to sing, not only to their own experiences, but also to those of millions of people who have felt identified with their lyrics.
During this tour, Shakira has had the participation of other great figures, such as Alejandro Sanz, Wyclef Jean and Rauw Alejandro. Each appearance has been carefully planned to contribute a dose of emotion to the show, and collaboration with Ozuna was no exception.
“Seeing her like this, so strong, so brilliant, inspires me,” Ozuna said after getting off the stage, in statements collected by local media. “Shakira has been an inspiration for many of us. To be able to share this deep issue in such a great stage was an honor.”

The connection with the public: a constant
One of the great achievements of this tour has been the closeness that Shakira has maintained with his audience. In each city, the artist has shared anecdotes, has let her emotions flow and has shown that it remains one of the most relevant voices of Latin pop.
In New York it was no different. In addition to the collaboration with Ozuna, he interpreted his classics as “anthology”, “the torture” and “Hips Don’t Lie”, combining them with the new successes of his most recent album. Visual production, the dance body and its inexhaustible energy confirmed that Shakira is not only back, but is stronger than ever.
The emotional moment with Ozuna not only marked a milestone on his tour, but reaffirmed the power that Shakira has to unite generations and styles in the same scenario. While the “Women no longer cry Tour” continues their tour of America and Europe, fans look forward to what will be the next surprise that the Barranquilla has under the sleeve.
The truth is that, when Shakira sings, there is no room for monotony.
