Just days after captivating millions during the historic 2026 FIFA World Cup Final halftime show, Shakira proved she was far from slowing down. On 21st July, the Colombian singer made a thrilling comeback to the stage at Brooklyn's Barclays Center in New York City as part of her 'Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran' World Tour.

But what made the sold-out concert unforgettable was a trio of surprise guests—Ed Sheeran, Tyla and Burna Boy—who joined the Grammy-winning singer for memorable live collaborations, turning the night into one of the biggest musical moments of the summer.

A Star-Studded Night at Barclays Center

Following her headline-making FIFA World Cup halftime performance on 19th July, where she shared the global stage alongside musicians like Madonna, Coldplay, BTS, Justin Bieber, and Post Malone, Shakira's first full concert took place in New York. 

Shakira carried that momentum into Brooklyn, where she performed a career-spanning set that included songs from her most recent album, 'Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran,' as well as singles like ‘Hips Don't Lie,' 'Whenever, Wherever,' and 'Waka Waka' (This Time for Africa).

The crowded arena went into a frenzy as Nigerian Afrobeats phenomenon Burna Boy, British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, and South African artist Tyla each made an appearance on stage for special performances.

Videos of the unexpected collaborations were shared on social media by fans, and within hours, the event became a global phenomenon.

Why This Tour Is One of Shakira's Biggest Yet

One of the most well-known international tours of the year is the 'Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran' World Tour, which was started to promote Shakira's 2024 Grammy-winning album of the same name. 

The tour has regularly sold-out arenas throughout North America and Latin America, and the record, which is inspired by resiliency and personal development, has struck a chord with listeners all over the world.

Shakira thanked the crowd for their steadfast support during the Brooklyn performance, saying, "Thank you for giving me the strength to keep singing every night." 

Her ability to seamlessly move from a globally televised football spectacle to an intimate arena concert within days highlighted why she remains one of live music's most enduring performers.

Shakira Shows No Signs of Slowing Down at 49

With over 95 million records sold globally, multiple Grammy wins, and billions of streams, Shakira is still a global phenomenon at the age of 49. Her 'Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran' World Tour, which began on 11th February, 2025, in Rio de Janeiro, is set to conclude on 18th November, 2026, in Lima, Peru, making it one of the biggest tours of her career.

The Colombian queen returned to New York with unexpected guests Ed Sheeran, Tyla, and Burna Boy only days after her FIFA World Cup 2026 halftime performance, proving that she is still one of the most dynamic and significant live performers in music today.
