The “Queen of Latin Music” is currently dominating the global cultural landscape, marking a triumphant 2026 that blends record-breaking commercial success with high-profile international appearances. Following her 49th birthday on 02 February 2026, the Colombian icon has solidified her status as the most successful Hispanic touring artist in history.
Touring Milestones and Guinness World Records
Shakira’s Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour has officially been certified by Billboard and Guinness World Records as the highest-grossing Hispanic tour of all time. The tour, supporting her 12th studio album released in 2024, has seen unprecedented demand across the globe. Most recently, she ignited a “fan frenzy” in El Salvador with a sold-out five-concert residency that concluded this week, significantly boosting local tourism and commerce.
Upcoming Global Performances
The singer-songwriter is set to expand her reach into new territories and major sporting events throughout the spring of 2026:
- Saudi Arabian Grand Prix: Organizers confirmed that Shakira will headline the post-race concert at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit on 19 April 2026.
- Jordan Debut: In a historic move, she is scheduled to perform her first-ever concert in Jordan next month at the Ayla Golf Club in Aqaba.
- Super Bowl LX Buzz: As the NFL prepares for Super Bowl LX, media outlets have revisited Shakira’s iconic 2020 performance alongside Jennifer Lopez, fueling speculation regarding a potential guest appearance during Bad Bunny’s upcoming halftime show.
Business and Real Estate
Beyond the stage, Shakira is making headlines in the luxury real estate market. She has recently listed a private island in the Bahamas for approximately $42.3 million (CAD $30 million). The property, which she co-owned with an investor group including Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters, represents a significant move in her diversified business portfolio.
Legacy and Cultural Impact
With a career spanning over three decades—beginning with her debut at age 14—Shakira continues to bridge the gap between Latin pop, rock, and dance. Her recent “healing era” has resonated deeply with fans on social media, where her lyrics regarding resilience and independence have become viral anthems. As of February 2026, she remains one of the most influential artists in the world, consistently breaking barriers for bilingual performers in the global market.
