Shakira is already in Brazil and gearing up for the first night of her "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" tour, which kicks off on February 11 in Rio de Janeiro. Fans have been waiting for this moment for over six years, and the excitement is through the roof. Her last tour, "El Dorado Tour," was back in 2018, so this comeback is huge.
The "Hips Don't Lie" singer received a warm welcome as soon as she landed, with fans gathering at the airport to greet her. She chose Brazil as the starting point for her 30-city tour across Latin America, the U.S., and Canada, calling the country a special place that embraced her music when she was just 18.

She even joked about her long work hours in an Instagram Story, saying, "It's a quarter to six in the morning—these are our working hours. Now it's time to get some sleep and then get back to work to prepare for Tuesday's concert."
Shakira's Appearance on Brazilian TV
Ahead of the show, she appeared on "Domingão com Huck," impressing fans with her Portuguese and giving a sneak peek of what to expect on tour. She also received a heartfelt tribute, including a surprise message from her first teacher, Olga, who hilariously recalled how Shakira was once kicked out of the school choir for being "too loud."
The buzz around this tour is real, with Brazilian media calling it an "unforgettable experience" both visually and musically. Her team arrived with over 50 tons of equipment, and Shakira herself promised a high-energy show packed with intricate choreography. After Rio, she'll head to São Paulo for her next stop on February 13.
While Shakira is in Brazil, will Gerard Piqué Move to Miami?
Meanwhile, back in Spain, Gerard Piqué is making headlines of his own. Initial reports suggested he planned to temporarily move to Miami to be with his kids, Milan and Sasha, while Shakira tours. However, the latest updates say otherwise.

Piqué's Latest Public Appearance
On the personal front, Piqué and his girlfriend, Clara Chía, were recently spotted in Barcelona, keeping a low profile. He was also in Miami in late January, coinciding with his son Sasha's 10th birthday. While he's been trying to spend more time with his kids, insiders say Shakira has set firm boundaries—so much so that in the two and a half years he's been with Clara, his kids have yet to formally meet her. The former soccer player also took his sons to New Orleans to enjoy the Super Bowl LIX.
So, with Shakira's tour about to take off and Piqué's situation still up in the air.
