The global superstar promises a renewed show featuring special guests and stunning visuals.

Global superstar Shakira is set to take her electrifying performances to new heights as she expands her "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" World Tour across the United States in 2025. Following a record-breaking Latin American leg, Shakira has announced additional dates in major cities including Miami and New York, responding to overwhelming fan demand.

The tour is scheduled to kick off on May 13, 2025, in Charlotte, North Carolina. This marks Shakira's first full-scale stadium tour in the U.S., a milestone she has long anticipated. In a recent interview, Shakira expressed her excitement, stating, "I’m very excited to finally be starting my first stadium tour in the United States. The response has been unbelievable. It’s like I’m Halley’s Comet—but this time, I’m back with a bang."

Fans can expect an extravagant 2.5-hour show, featuring upgraded arrangements, choreography, and cinematic visuals created using CGI and AI. The production will be supported by a 45-person team, ensuring a visually stunning experience that goes beyond just music. Shakira has worked tirelessly on this tour for over a year, and she described it as a significant musical challenge. "I’ve worked on original music and adjusted the arrangements of some songs. While some will be performed in their original form, others have been refreshed to enhance their sound," she explained.

In addition to her impressive setlist, Shakira hinted at special appearances from several high-profile artists who have collaborated with her throughout her career. Confirmed guest performers include Alejandro Sanz, Carlos Vives, Will.i.am, Rauw Alejandro, Sting, and Chris Martin. Shakira shared her enthusiasm about these collaborations, saying, "I’ve invited all my friends. I have many friends in the industry. When I’m in the studio, we forge friendships that last forever. People like Alejandro Sanz, who is like my brother, and Will.i.am, who always checks on me during tough times, have been there for me through thick and thin."

Shakira's concerts are not just about the music; they aim to be a moment of healing and empowerment for both her and her fans. "These concerts have a liberating and healing effect," she noted. "My fans give me strength, and I want to give that back—especially now." This sentiment resonates deeply with her audience, who have supported her throughout her career. Shakira's ability to connect with her fans on an emotional level has been a hallmark of her performances, and she intends to continue this tradition during her upcoming tour.

As Shakira prepares for her U.S. tour, she reflects on her incredible journey and the milestones she has achieved. Recently, she surpassed the number of concerts held by the popular group RBD at the same venue in Mexico City, where she performed for the seventh consecutive night to a full house. "I’m like Halley’s Comet," she humorously remarked, acknowledging her unique position in the music industry.

The anticipation for Shakira's U.S. tour is palpable, with fans eagerly awaiting the chance to see her live. As tickets for many shows have already sold out, the demand for additional dates underscores her enduring popularity. Shakira's ability to reinvent herself and her music has kept her relevant in the ever-changing landscape of the music industry.

In summary, Shakira's "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" World Tour is shaping up to be an unforgettable experience, combining powerful performances with a message of empowerment and healing. With a star-studded lineup of guest performers and a commitment to delivering a visually stunning show, Shakira is poised to make her mark on the U.S. concert scene in 2025. Fans can look forward to an extraordinary journey filled with music, friendship, and shared moments of joy.
