Since Shakira kicked off her residency in Madrid, each new date has brought the anticipation of discovering who might join her on stage. The 12-concert series began on Sept. 18 and runs through Oct. 11 as part of the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour.
For the first two nights, there were no guest appearances, but they weren’t needed to maintain the energy during the two-hour show. Songs like “Girl Like Me,” “Te Felicito,” “TQG,” “Soltera” and “Hips Don’t Lie” kept the stadium singing at full volume — along with “Te Dejo Madrid,” a new addition to the setlist compared to previous stops on the tour. As the residency progressed, the first guest appearances began to roll in — some completely unexpected, others hinted at by Shakira herself through clues on her social media.
The Colombian superstar has been drawing around 55,000 people per night to Estadio Shakira, a temporary venue built specifically for these 12 shows at Iberdrola Music. Back in January, Billboard announced that Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour had set a Guinness World Record as the highest-grossing tour of all time by a Hispanic artist, with $421.6 million earned and 3.3 million tickets sold across 86 shows, according to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore.
Midway through the residency, Shakira shared her thoughts on Instagram about the experience so far: “We’re halfway through our residency! 6 concerts in total, and each one has had an incredible energy. It’s impossible to say which of the 6 has been the best; they’ve all been absolutely spectacular. Thank you, Madrid, for being with me!” the global superstar wrote.
