Shakira Makes History With Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran Tour
The Columbian singer, Shakira, 48, has made history after
surpassing Karol G's
Mañana Será Bonito song.
Her Mexican and South American shows have grossed a
staggering $130million (£96million) with 21 shows.
It's a close comparison to Columbian singer Karol G's
previous tour record of $125 million (£92million) with 29 shows.
According to Billboard,
Shakira is the only Latin tour to reach Top 10 of the 2025 midyear
Boxscore Report, ranking No. 2 globally.
Shakira fell on stage during a performing Whenever, Wherever last week
at the Bell Centre in Montreal - coming weeks after concerns of a Measles outbreak at a concert she performed in New Jersey earlier
this month.
The three-time Grammy winner was in the
middle of performing the high-energy track - a top 10 hit on Billboard's charts in late 2001 - when she
slipped and hit the ground.
A fan posted a clip of the fall on Instagram
Stories, depicting the South American singer, whose full name is Shakira Isabel
Mebarak Ripoll, losing her balance sideways and hitting the ground.
The Hips Don't Lie hitmaker - who has been on the road on
her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran Tour - dusted herself off and continued with her
performance.
One user said on X that Shakira 'handled it like the boss
that she is,' while another called the entertainer's refusal to let the slip
derail the show 'a great example of resilience!
The commenter added, "Hope she didn't get injured.
Such falls cause pains and injuries the next morning.'
The slip was one in a number of complications Shakira and
her team have faced on the road this time around.
The May 15 show at MetLife Stadium led
the New Jersey Department of Health to publicly state that those who attended
'could develop symptoms [of measles] as late as June 6'.
Authorities in the Garden State said that
anyone who was present at the venue - which hosts the NFL's New York Giants and
New York Jets - between the evening May 15 into early on May 16 could have been
exposed to the airborne virus.
Health officials said that a person who was infected with
measles was present at the show for the superstar songstress, who has past
worked on collaborations with Rihanna, Beyonce and the Black Eyed Peas.
Shakira has also dealt with an 'abdominal issue' that led
her to cancel a February 16 show at Peru's National Stadium after visiting a
hospital over it the prior day.
'I am sorry to inform you all that last night I had to go
to the ER for an abdominal issue and am currently hospitalized,' the Waka Waka
(This Time for Africa) artist said via Instagram Stories.
The Underneath Your Clothes artist - who is mother to
sons, Milan, 12, and Sasha, 10 with ex Gerard Piqué, 38, is due to visit the
U.S. capital for a show on May 31 at Nationals Park.
That will be followed by concerts in large cities such as
Atlanta, Orlando, Miami, San Antonio and Houston, among other
destinations.
