Last month, Shakira completed her first run of dates with shows in her home country of Colombia, after kicking off the tour in Rio de Janeiro in February.
She will next perform in North Carolina on Tuesday, May 13, the first of a string of dates in the US and Canada until the end of June.
Her seventh tour has enjoyed unprecedented ticket sales, and even surpᴀssed the popularity of Taylor Swift’s the Eras Tour in Mexico City, where it sold out five shows in a row at the Estadio GNP Seguros Stadium.
It has also been a hit with critics as well as fans, who have praised it for its high production value and Shakira’s consistently impressive performances.
The tour is her first in seven years and is named after her 12th studio album which dropped in March 2024.
While she is riding the high of the successful tour, it was reported last month that her ex Gerard Pique has separated from girlfriend of three years, Clara Chia.
The former Spain and Barcelona star was previously with Shakira for 11 years, and welcomed their two sons together Milan and Sasha, before their split in 2022.
Speculation that the footballer had cheated was rife, with Shakira going on to make a slew of digs at Gerard in her music, including branding him ‘Voldemort’.

Spanish outlet El Periodico reported that the couple had been living separately for a few weeks after Gerard was kicked out of the family home by the pop star.
In the summer of 2023, he reportedly moved in with Clara – in the home he had shared with Shakira when she first moved to Barcelona.
However, according to Spanish TV show Vamos a ver (Let’s See), reported via Marca, last month, journalist Adriana Dorronsoro confirmed that Gerard and Clara, 26 – who is 12 years his junior – have split up.

Dorronoro went on to say the cause of the split is not yet known but that she has heard that third parties may be involved.
Dorronoro said: ‘I have confirmation that Gerard Piqué and Clara Chía have broken up and I am investigating a little into the reasons, because I am hearing from third parties, although it is still not very clear.’
She said the source of the information was ‘very close to the couple’ and did not confirm whether Gerard being seen recently in Miami with a redheaded woman was the cause of the breakup.
In January 2023, video footage emerged which is said to show Clara in the footballer’s family home before his split from Shakira.
Shakira was reportedly left ‘devastated’ at the unearthed footage from August 2021, which was recorded ten months before she announced she had split from her partner of 11 years.

Clara appeared to be in the background of a zoom interview Gerard did from his family home in Barcelona, while Shakira was reportedly abroad with their two children.
There was a theory that Shakira uncovered his alleged cheating by discovering that a jar of strawberry jam in their home together had been eaten while she was away – as she was reportedly the only strawberry jam eater in the relationship.
However, the South American singer-songwriter has since debunked that myth.
Shakira recently admitted she still feels ‘worthless’ three years after her split from footballer, telling: Mexico’s N+ channel: ‘I’ve learned that you can feel joy even while carrying pain—while living with a wound that won’t quite heal.’
Describing what it’s like to feel ‘small’ when reflecting on a breakup, she said: ‘That’s when friends, family, and real people step in—to remind you of your value and that you’re capable of more than you know.
‘Everyone has their own way of rebuilding. For me, writing songs helped lift a huge weight off my shoulders. It’s a cathartic process.’
