Shakira’s Madrid residency is only one weekend old, and it’s already the most star-studded run of shows on the planet. Alejandro Sanz is confirmed to join her on stage Friday night at Estadio Shakira, marking a reunion 21 years after their iconic“La Tortura”and just months after they teamed up on his 2025 single“Bésame.”Expect the crowd to lose it the second those first notes hit.
The bigger mystery is Maluma. Shakira teased an appearance on Instagram with a coy“Shakkk era secreto jaja,”and Spanish media report the Colombian star has already arrived in Madrid. The timing lines up perfectly with“Agua,”the track the two released earlier this month. No official date has been announced, which of course means everyone is refreshing their feeds.
Opening weekend set the bar absurdly high: roughly 165,000 fans across three nights, plus a surprise Laura Pausini appearance for the first-ever live performance of“Antología.”With ten shows remaining before the residency wraps on October 11, the guest list could get even wilder. Which surprise guest would make you buy a plane ticket to Madrid tomorrow?
