Among the snaps, the 47-year-old is seen stretching as well as doing side planks with two of her dancers. Shakira also tagged choreographers Chris Grant and Maite Marcos from rehearsals and producer Alex Castillo Vasquez.

The singer first announced that she would be going on the road and her “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour” when she made a surprise appearance during night one of Coachella on April 12 to perform alongside Bizarrap.

Fans online were ecstatic to see the Latin superstar on stage performing her song, “Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53,” alongside the DJ.

“So stoked to finally announce that LAS MUJERES YA NO LLORAN WORLD TOUR is happening!” Shakira wrote on her Instagram. “Can’t wait to be back on stage partying and celebrating with my wolfpack! 🐺Dates coming up soon — register for info / pre-sale access now! Auuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”

The announcement came weeks after the release of her 12th studio album, “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran.” This is Shakira’s first tour since 2018’s “El Dorado World Tour.”

Shortly after on April 17, due to “overwhelming demand,” the singer announced that she added additional dates to her U.S. tour.

What is Shakira’s most recent album ‘Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran’ about?

Shakira released her 12th studio album, “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran,” which translates in English to “Women No Longer Cry,” on March 22, 2024. The album comes seven years after she released “El Dorado” in 2017.

A mix of pop, reggaeton, regional and rock, Shakira told the Sunday Times that “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran” represents “the transformation of pain into creativity, frustration into productivity, anger into passion, vulnerability into resilience.”

“There were so many pieces of my life that crumbled in front of my eyes and I had to rebuild myself in a way, picking up the bones from the floor and putting them all together. And the glue that kept it all together was music,” she said.

The songs included on the album also touch on her public split from former pro-soccer player Gerard Piqué like “Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53” and “TQG.”
