Shakira has been unstoppable since she kicked off her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran world tour in Brazil back in February. Due to overwhelming demand, the Colombian superstar has now added two more dates to the North American leg of the tour, which is set to begin on May 13th in North Carolina. With two additional shows in stadiums in the New York and Miami areas, the new concerts are scheduled for Friday, May 16th at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and Saturday, June 7th at the Hard Rock Stadium, respectively.
This news comes after Shakira’s successful run through Latin America, where she made history by becoming the first female artist to sell out seven shows at the GNP Seguros Stadium (formerly known as Foro Sol) in Mexico City. She now shares the record for most shows at the coveted venue with Grupo Firme, who have an eighth show scheduled for June 28th. But Shakira will be returning in the summer for a second round of performances in the country, including four at the stadium (previously known as Foro Sol) for a total of 11.
Named by Billboard as the No. 1 among the 50 Greatest Latin Pop Artists of All Time, Shakira also topped the monthly Top Tours list for the first time, grossing $32.9 million with the sale of 282,000 tickets in February, according to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore. She follows Bad Bunny, Los Bukis, and RBD among the Latin artists who have led the monthly ranking, becoming the first solo female Latin artist to reach No. 1.
