Shakira’s 12-night run at Estadio Shakira in Madrid has turned into a nightly guessing game. The temporary venue at Iberdrola Music holds around 55,000 people, and every show since Sept. 20 has come with a surprise. Laura Pausini appeared on night three to sing“Antología”with Shakira for the first time. Alejandro Sanz followed on Sept. 25 and 26, performing“La Tortura”and, for the first time ever together,“Corazón Partío.”
The surprises kept rolling. The Triplets Ghetto Kids, the Ugandan dance collective, joined during“Dai Dai,”the 2026 FIFA World Cup song. Then on Sept. 27, Manuel Turizo walked out for the first live performance of“Copa Vacía.”
All of this sits on top of a record-setting tour. The Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour holds the Guinness World Record for highest-grossing tour by a Hispanic artist at $421.6 million. The Madrid residency continues through Oct. 11, and with five shows left, the guest list is far from finished. So tell us: who do you think shows up next?
