Shakira Makes History: The Highest-Grossing Tour Ever by a Latino Artist
Shakira embarked on her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour with high expectations of large crowds and impressive choreography. However, the tour exceeded all expectations and made history as the highest-grossing tour ever by a Latino artist. Guinness World Records and Billboard confirmed that the Colombian star's tour has generated $421.6 million in revenue and sold 3.3 million tickets across 86 shows since its launch on February 11, 2025. This achievement surpasses the previous record held by Luis Miguel, whose tour closed at $409.5 million and 2.9 million tickets.
Shakira reflected on the changing landscape of the music industry since the beginning of her career and expressed her disbelief at breaking this record after 30 years in the business. She credited her loyal fans for their support, emphasizing that none of this would have been possible without them. The record was officially broken on December 11, 2025, during her performance at Estadio Vélez Sarsfield in Buenos Aires, where her total gross revenue exceeded the previous benchmark. Subsequent shows in Córdoba and Hollywood, Florida, continued to increase the total revenue.
The tour has been a massive success region by region, with the Latin America leg bringing in $144.4 million from 1.2 million attendees. North America followed with $103.6 million and nearly 700,000 tickets sold. A second Latin American stretch added another $169.2 million to the total. Even a brief run in Florida contributed $4.4 million over three nights. The tour has also boosted Shakira's career totals to $529.7 million in gross revenue and 4.9 million tickets sold across 206 reported shows.
In conclusion, Shakira's Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour has set a new standard for Latin artists on the global touring circuit. The record-breaking success of the tour highlights Shakira's enduring popularity and the unwavering support of her dedicated fan base.
