On February 9, 2025, Shakira officially launched her international tour, "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran," choosing Brazil as her first destination. During her appearance on the popular variety show "Domingão com Huck," hosted by Luciano Huck, the Colombian superstar shared touching remarks about her connection with Brazilian fans, stating, "É o melhor público do mundo" (It's the best audience in the world). This heartfelt affirmation speaks volumes about the significance Brazil holds for her throughout her career.
During the program, Shakira expressed her excitement and spoke Portuguese fluently as she interacted with fans. She performed some of her greatest hits, including "Loca" and "Girl Like Me," thrilling the audience with her charismatic stage presence. Huck took the opportunity to highlight Shakira's long-standing relationship with Brazil, showing photo memories from as early as 1997 when she was first introduced to Brazilian television.
Shakira expressed immense gratitude for the support she has received over the years, saying, "Amo o Brasil. Foi o país que abriu as portas para minha música há tantos anos e ainda continua ali comigo" (I love Brazil. It was the country which opened doors for my music many years ago and still stands by me). Her return to Brazil, seven years after her last performance, signifies more than just another concert; it's about reconnecting with the audience who have been integral to her global success.
Her concerts will take place at the Estádio Nilton Santos on February 11 and the Morumbi Stadium on February 13, showcasing her tremendous catalog of hits. Shakira's recent award achievements, including the Grammy Latino for Best Latin Pop Album, lend additional prestige to this landmark event.
Shakira's choice to begin her tour in Brazil is also rooted deeply in the personal significance the country has for her. She shared moments from her childhood, reflecting on her career, reminiscing about the early days when Brazil welcomed her music enthusiastically. "Essa é a turnê mais importante da minha vida" (This is the most important tour of my life), she declared, marking this project as pivotal after transformative life experiences, including her separation from Gerard Piqué.
The participation on the show allowed Shakira to showcase not only her exceptional musical talents but also her commitment to social causes, as she highlighted her foundation, Pies Descalzos, which has educated over 150,000 children across Colombia. The emotional tribute to her past and the acknowledgment of her childhood influences remind audiences of the depth of her artistry.
The anticipation for Shakira's shows is palpable among her Brazilian fans, with early excitement reflected across social media platforms where many praised her efforts to engage with the audience. One fan expressed joy, mentioning, "Fala melhor que eu" (Speaks even more proficiently than I do) about her Portuguese skills.
Notably, the return of Shakira to the stage also aligns with the growing influence of Latin music within the Brazilian market. With her rich history of sold-out shows and the magnetic energy of her performances, the data suggests high demand for tickets as her music transcends language barriers.
Shakira's "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour" promises to mark not only the continuation of her illustrious career but also her dedication to amplifying female empowerment themes through music, which resonates with diverse audiences globally. Hits like "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" and viral tracks from recent collaborations will surely dominate the setlist, making this tour one for the history books.
From celebrating her past to embracing her future, Shakira's connection with Brazil is proof of the bonds forged through music. The Brazilian audiences have continuously provided her with unwavering support.
