The show was part of his world tour “Women no longer cry”, title of her latest album and mantra that synthesizes the process that the artist transformed into art. With more than 30 years of career, Shakira turned the pain in power and channeled it into a show of more than two hours that was much more than music: it was a statement of identity.
From the first minutes of the concert, it was clear that it was a unique event. Not only because of the imposing staging, with lights, choreographies and screens at the level of the best global shows, but because of the way Shakira re-connected with his audience: children, adults, grandparents and entire generations that have followed it from “bare feet” to its current post-picé resurgence.
The show was, in the words of the artist, “the fulfillment of a dream.” The last time he had stepped on that stadium was to see Beyoncé, in 2023, and at that time he wondered if one day he could be there as the protagonist. “Thank you for helping me fulfill it,” he said, visibly excited, at the beginning of his presentation.
A party with luxury guests
Throughout the show, Shakira shared the stage with three figures that helped to raise the temperature further at a night with thermal sensation close to 40 degrees. Alejandro Sanz, Ozuna and Manuel Turizo accompanied her in different sections of the concert. The interpretation of “La Tortura” with Sanz was one of the most celebrated moments, and the artist did not hesitate to joke: “This is the most beautiful thing that Spain has given birth after my children.”
The complicity between the two was evident, as well as the connection with Ozuna in “monotony” and with a “empty cup” tourizo. In the second function, a quarter surprise guest was added, even more raising the expectation of a tour that does not stop growing.
A review of all its stages
The repertoire covered each stage of his career: from the classics as “eyes like” and “anthology” – interpreted in acoustic version and cheered by the public – to his most recent hits such as “I congratulate you”, “TQG” and the unforgettable BZRP Music Session #53, which crowned the end of the concert under a rain of false tickets with the singer’s face.
Each segment was accompanied by costume changes -13 in total- that dialogued with their history: rock meshes, gala dresses, bright suits, and winks to their roots with scarves, coins and links with wolf’s ears.
“Self -love is prettier”
On stage, Shakira spoke little but with forcefulness. “Love for the other is beautiful, but more beautiful is self -love,” he said, summarizing the spirit of a tour that, beyond entertainment, proposes a message of empowerment. That phrase was celebrated by an audience that identified with its process and applauded its transformation capacity.

As part of the setting, they walked with her to the stage friends, models and journalists who accompanied her in these years. Among them, the model Winnie Harlow and Ariadna Gutiérrez, Miss Colombia 2015, who also participates in the “single” video clip, one of the most recent releases of the artist.
Shakira not only crosses a great artistic moment, but also commercial. With more than one million tickets sold and a collection of more than 130 million dollars, its tour positions it as the only Latin artist within the top 10 of the highest grossing of the year, surpassing legends such as Paul McCartney and Bruno Mars.
In Miami, Shakira reaffirmed that his return is not just a commercial phenomenon: it is a cultural claim. In an industry still dominated by male and Anglo -Saxon patterns, the Colombian again installed the strength of Spanish in Spanish in the most important stages in the world.
An end to pure emotion
The closure, as expected, was with “BZRP Music Session #53”. In that cathartic issue, Shakira transformed the duel for his separation with Gerard Piqué into a hymn of millions. While the stadium exploded in lights and applause, she celebrated it with a broad, safe smile, and a final scream: “To the bin, to the ban, Miami, Miami, ra ra!”.
It was the perfect closure for an unforgettable night. The Shakira who returned to the stage is not the same as he left. He is stronger, freer and more connected than ever with his people, his music and his message.
