After making her now iconic She-Wolf walk to the main stage - a staple of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour - the Colombian singer-songwriter got her fans excited as the opening notes of "La Fuerte" filled the venue. The moment she reached the stage, she launched into "Girl Like Me," immediately setting the tone for a high-energy night.

The production matched her relentless energy, featuring bursts of pyrotechnics, moving platforms and dazzling visuals that elevated every performance. Between the elaborate staging and Shakira's nonstop dance breaks, the concert delivered an exhilarating spectacle from start to finish. She sailed through a set list that included over 25 songs, including such hits as "She Wolf," "Underneath Your Clothes," "Whenever Whenever," and of course her World Cup anthem "Dai Dai."
After a historic stadium trek, Shakira's Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour is on its second U.S. leg, this time playing arenas. The tour, in support of her 2024 album of the same name, launched in February 2025 in Rio de Janeiro and setting a Guinness world record as the highest grossing tour of all time for a Hispanic artist.
Over the last two decades, Shakira has established herself as one of the most successful Latin artists of the 21st century.

Shakira had the crowd erupting when she surprised fans by bringing out Wyclef Jean to perform their iconic team-up "Hips Don't Lie."

Every beat fueled the audience's excitement, turning the moment into a euphoric finale where dancing was unavoidable.
Shakira brought the excitement of the FIFA World Cup celebration to the Barclays Center with a high-energy performance of "Dai Dai."

The crowd's thunderous singalong made it one of the most memorable moments of the night, proving that the song's impact remains just as powerful today as it was in 2010.
One of the cutest moments of the night came with “Zoo,” which Shakira added to the second leg of the tour, and which instantly energized the crowd.
The performance came to life through immersive visuals, including the tigers from the movie as her backup dancers that nodded to the song's cinematic origins.

Musically, “Zoo” served as one of the night's most infectious moments. Its rhythm and onstage choreography created fresh momentum into an already hit-filled set, with the audience singing along and dancing from the opening beat to the final note. The track's arrival added another layer of excitement to the concert, proving that Shakira is still finding new ways to reinvent her live show.
