Shakira will celebrate tonight in El Salvador the first anniversary of her world tour, “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour”, a series of concerts that has redefined the parameters of Latin music and has made the Colombian artist the central figure of one of the biggest phenomena in the entertainment industry during the last year.
According to data released by Billboard magazine, the tour has exceeded $421.6 million in revenue after 86 concerts completed until January 2026, which consolidates it as the most financially successful Latin tour to date.
The commemoration at the Jorge “El Mágico” González National Stadium in her fourth concert of her Central American residence, takes on a special nuance, since the artist asked fans from other countries to attend with the flag of their nation..In addition, it is speculated that the Barranquilla native is preparing a surprise for the public, increasing expectations around this significant date of her tour.
Since it is February 14, versions are circulating about the possibility that Shakira will perform “Acróstico” with her children during the concert, or that she will invite a surprise artist to the stage.
However, the expectation for a special participation increases among attendees, within the framework of a night that also pays tribute to the Colombian community and the international fans who have accompanied their return.The choice of El Salvador to celebrate this anniversary highlights the recognition of the diversity and global reach of its audience.
Shakira’s world tour began on February 11, 2025 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and from that point on she has covered an extensive list of countries:
Initial demand reached historic numbers, with more than 950,000 tickets sold in less than two hours for 18 stadiums in the region, setting a record for a female artist.
The public response in each country has been overwhelming.In Buenos Aires, Lima and Santiago de Chile they sold out all the seats in less than forty minutes, which motivated the opening of new dates and an extension of the original itinerary.
In Mexico, the impact of the tour was especially notable since the Colombian offered 12 concerts, gathering nearly 650,000 attendees and establishing an unprecedented mark in the history of that venue.
In the United States, the tour grossed more than $250 million, driven by multiple presentations in cities such as Charlotte, Houston, Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Chicago.
The success of Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour is attributed to the combination of the global impact of the eponymous album and the high production of the concerts, which have included advanced technology and collaborations with other artists.Among the highlights were opening acts for Black Eyed Peas in Los Angeles, Meri Deal in Montevideo and Ángela Torres in Buenos Aires.
The tour has not only broken records in sales and attendance, but has also generated positive economic effects in each host city.The multigenerational phenomenon that Shakira’s music represents has been central to the appeal of the tour, as well as the artist’s ability to adapt the repertoire and staging to each local audience.
The anniversary celebration in El Salvador marks a new chapter before the tour continues with more dates planned in Mexico and the Middle East, with a closing scheduled for April 4, 2026 in Abu Dhabi.
