Shakira brought her catalog to life with boundless energy on Tuesday (July 21) during her second night at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, when her special guests included Wyclef Jean and Triplets Ghetto Kids. Fresh off her FIFA World Cup appearance, the global superstar delivered once more an arena spectacle that showcased her electrifying stage presence, captivating showmanship and remarkable musical versatility. (Her first Brooklyn performance featured special guests Tyla, Ed Sheeran and Burna Boy; find our recap of the Monday show here.)
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.
Shakira commanded the stage with confidence, pairing powerhouse vocals with dynamic choreography throughout the set. By just the second song, she had already completed her first outfit change, swapping a metallic silver jacket and matching pants for a sparkling pink ensemble.
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. Throughout her career, she has earned 31 entries on the Billboard Hot 100, including six top 10 hits. Among her biggest successes are the chart-topping “Hips Don’t Lie,” as well as top 10 singles such as “Whenever, Wherever” (2001), “Beautiful Liar” (2007), “She Wolf” (2009), “TQG” (2023) and “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53” (2023). Her most recent album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Latin Album chart in 2024.
Between headlining her nationwide tour and performing at both the FIFA World Cup Opening Ceremony in Los Angeles and the Final Halftime Show, Shakira has remained one of the busiest and most visible global stars in the United States.
