The Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour is the seventh concert tour by the Colombian singer Shakira. The stadium tour commenced on 11 February 2025 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and is scheduled to conclude on 28 November 2026 in Giza, Egypt. It was first announced in 2021 but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and was re-announced in 2024, in support of her twelfth studio album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran (2024).
The tour has broken numerous ticket sales and venue records while also leaving a significant cultural impact. As of January 2026, it has earned over million within its first 86 concerts, breaking the Guinness World Record for the highest-grossing Latin tour of all time, while also becoming the fifth-highest-grossing tour by a female artist.
Background and development Following her halftime performance at Super Bowl LIV, Live Nation announced Shakira would tour in 2021. Further news was delayed, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In September 2023, Shakira told Billboard she planned to release new music and embark on a "global tour" in the following year. She told the publication: "Putting a tour together is fun, but it's a great effort and you have to put everything on the balance and decide what the fans really want to hear, what songs you want to hear and how much production you want. In the end, the more production you have, the higher the ticket price. I want the tickets to be affordable. But to me, the most important thing is the repertoire. That's why I think [my next tour] will be the tour of a lifetime, because I have so many songs."
Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran Tour was announced by Shakira during her appearance as a special guest during Bizarrap's set at Coachella on 13 April 2024. Three days later, Live Nation announced concerts in North America starting that November, with additional concerts added due to demand in Palm Springs, Miami and New York City, respectively.

Production
Rehearsals for the tour started around mid-August 2024, with Shakira announcing them with a series of pictures through her social networks. On another teaser from Shakira through Instagram, aimed at Latin America, the singer performs at Electric Air Studios a new arrangement for her 1997 single "Antología," accompanied by her longtime collaborator, Luis Fernando Ochoa. In late October, Shakira posted, also through her Instagram account, another teaser video, this time aimed at North America, singing at the same aforementioned studio her 1996 hit single "Pies Descalzos, Sueños Blancos." During an interview for Brazilian website GShow, Shakira revealed the latter song, plus other signature hits of hers, such as "Estoy Aquí" and "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)", would be included to the set list, with the tour being described by herself as "the biggest show of [her] career, the most comprehensible one," whose rehearsals include a daily 12-14 hour full schedule of preparations along with her crew, to perform "these most, most relevant concerts of [her] musical lifetime." Later on, she also revealed the members for her band, most of them already longtime collaborators of her, such as musical director and guitarist Tim Mitchell, drummer Brendan Buckley and piano and keyboard player Albert Menéndez, with also the addition of bass player Donald Alford II.
In an interview for GQ España, Shakira has described the current process of her tour: "It's the most ambitious tour of my entire career, the biggest production I've had so far. Not because the public asks for it, but because I deserve it after so many years working in this world. I deserve the tour of my life. I'm throwing the house out the window. I am happy because I will be able to take a tour of the different stages of my artistic life, until today. It will be the longest show I’ve ever done with the biggest screen and everything you can imagine. More is more and better!"
On 21 January 2025, Shakira moved from the USA to Mexico to finish her last rehearsals before tour properly kicks off in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Shakira was actively involved in the production, ensuring that every element reflected her "vision". The on-screen visuals were created using artificial intelligence and CGI technology. 45 people worked on them, including companies Blink and Los Angeles-based creative studio Actual Objects. The visuals included a realistic projection of the singer. Artist Isabella Mebarak claimed that a likeness analysis of the singer was conducted to resemble her features.LinkedIn Post The "first of its kind" AI/CGI animated version of Shakira is shown during the interludes. The tour features an "elaborate production", including 160’ screens and a diverse set of props, such as a pole attached to a giant "S" used during the "Soltera" performance. This set element was constructed by specialty fabricators ShowFab. According to Chilean media outlet Culto, the cost of producing each concert is estimated to be more than US$3 million. Preparations lasted about 10 months. Attire and accessories were mostly custom-made by fashion houses and designers, such as Indian Anamika Khanna and Atelier Versace. Shakira worked with company Yellow Studio to design "a stage that evolves along with the show". The stage includes hydraulic platforms and a 25-meter ramp. The creative direction for the stage was handled by the Squared Division.
Critical reception Olivia Petty of The San Diego Union-Tribune praised Shakira's performance and versatility, but criticized the on-screen visuals, stating that the "AI-generated visuals that filled the transitions between some songs left much to be desired, feeling out of place and generally unappealing to the eye."
Ticket sales In North America, during the pre-sale period of Shakira's North American arena leg, the tickets of most of the shows were sold out. The tickets vary widely in prices, between circa $200 and $2000 (excluding VIP or other add-on tickets), depending on the cities. Due to overwhelming demand, Shakira added extra shows in Palm Springs, Miami and New York City. Meanwhile, her shows in Phoenix, Inglewood, San Antonio, Dallas, Charlotte, Washington DC, and Chicago were mostly sold out. In Miami, she was supposed to extend the record of being the female artist to perform most shows in Kaseya Center, 11 in total. However, the whole leg was moved to May 2025 due to Live Nation's decision to upgrade the several North American shows to stadiums.
