Despite the intense schedule of her 'Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran' tour, which has raked in over $150 million and filled venues across the Americas, Shakira remains grounded and focused on her performances. Backstage at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium, the atmosphere reflects her team's dedication. A simple note, "Please come back later... unless you're actually on fire," reveals the humor amidst the tour's demanding regimen.
With over two million fans entertained at 64 sold-out shows, Shakira's meticulous planning shines through. “I polished every detail of the show,” she tells BBC News, clearly relishing the fruits of her labor. The backstage shows a bustling world of costume adjustments and sound checks where everyone is engaged in a blend of exertion and excitement. “Shakira’s commitment is incredible,” says her chief dancer, showcasing her perfectionist nature as she anticipates the night’s performance.
The concert itself is a marathon of excitement, featuring a two-and-a-half hour set navigating through her vast repertoire of hits, vibrant costumes, and impressive choreography. In a poignant twist, Shakira pays tribute to her personal life through her music. The tour name, translating to "Women No Longer Cry," resonates with her most recent challenges—an intense breakup with Gerard Piqué and family health crises, providing a backdrop to her latest creative endeavors.
Fans of all ages unite in celebration, connecting deeply with her music. Shakira cites a special emotional high during performances of "Acróstico," where she shares a video duet with her sons, Milan and Sasha. “They’re my engine and the reason why I’m alive,” she affectionately mentions, illustrating her family’s significance amid her chaotic life.
Contemplating the immigrant experience in America, Shakira reflects on her journey from Colombia to US stardom. “We need to unite and advocate for humane treatment,” she insists, delivering a powerful message while empowering her audience. The future of her tour remains a tantalizing mystery, as Shakira hints at possible European dates while affirming her desire to connect with fans globally.
