Colombian singer Shakira has reached a new milestone in the global music industry by breaking a Guinness World Record with her Las “Mujeres Ya No Lloran” World Tour, officially becoming the Latin artist with the most successful tour of all time. The achievement cements her status as one of the most influential figures in international music and confirms the historic reach of her most recent artistic era.
According to official figures, the tour grossed US$421.6 million, sold 3.3 million tickets, and spanned 86 concerts worldwide. These numbers far surpass previous records set by other high-profile Latin artists, placing Shakira at the top of the all-time ranking for Latin tours.
Shakira sealed the record in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in December
The key moment for securing the Guinness World Record took place on Dec. 11, 2025, during a concert at the Velez Sarsfield Stadium in Buenos Aires. That night, the tour surpassed US$410.3 million in revenue, officially dethroning the previous record and securing Shakira’s place in live music history.
Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour accompanied the release of a deeply personal album, in which the artist explored themes such as resilience, transformation, and emotional strength. This narrative resonated with millions of fans across different regions, resulting in massive audience turnout and high ticket demand in every country visited.
Comparison with other major Latin tours
Shakira’s achievement becomes even more significant when compared to other successful Latin tours in recent years. Luis Miguel’s Tour 23–24 sold approximately 2.9 million tickets and grossed US$409.5 million, while Bad Bunny, with his World’s Hottest Tour in 2022, generated US$314.1 million and attracted 1.9 million attendees. Meanwhile, Karol G grossed US$313.3 million with her Mañana Sera Bonito Tour in 2023.
Although all of these artists have left a strong mark on contemporary Latin music, Shakira’s figures clearly stand apart in both revenue and attendance, underscoring the exceptional nature of her tour.
Global impact
Beyond the numbers, the Guinness World Record recognizes Shakira’s cultural and global impact. The tour traveled across the Americas, Europe, and other regions, filling stadiums and drawing diverse audiences, confirming her ability to transcend languages, generations, and cultural borders.
With more than two decades of career experience, Shakira has successfully blended Latin rhythms with pop, rock, and contemporary sounds, remaining relevant in a highly competitive industry. This latest recognition highlights not only the commercial success of her tour but also her enduring influence on the global music scene.
