The Colombian sensation, Shakira, is making headlines again—this time for a surprise appearance at Coachella and the announcement of her 2024 global tour. At the famed music festival last Friday, Shakira joined forces with Argentine DJ Bizarrap for a high-octane performance that had fans at the edge of their seats, as reported by Variety. The "Hips Don't Lie" singer teased her audience with the cryptic message "La loba se viene" (the wolf is coming) before revealing her world tour titled "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour," which takes its name from her latest chart-topping album.

According to KENS 5, Shakira's stop in Alamo City is one of many on her upcoming tour—this being her first since her successful 2018 'El Dorado World Tour'; her energetic performance in Times Square last month drummed up a significant buzz for the tour after her new album "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" shattered records with over 10 billion streams in a mere 24 hours, going 7x platinum. Fans eager to catch the international pop powerhouse can snag tickets starting April 22, with presales available via the Frost Bank Center’s newsletter.

The synergy between Shakira and Bizarrap was palpable, elevating Coachella’s first weekend to something more than just another music festival, the pair performed "La Fuerte" and "BZRP Music Sessions, Vol. 53," with Shakira emerging in a fiery red-orange ensemble, stealing the show despite the earlier disappointment of being turned down for a headliner slot. Shakira’s unexpected appearance at Coachella confirms that there's no lingering animosity between her and the festival organizers, silencing any whispers of controversy.

Describing her return to the tour circuit, "Finally we’re going on tour—starting here, in November!" Shakira told the crowd at Coachella, her excitement evident—according to Variety. Fans can stay in the loop with the latest on Shakira's tour by visiting her official website and social media platforms, where she routinely engages with her followers, sharing updates and behind-the-scenes content.

The Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour promises to bring the same level of spectacle and awe that has become synonymous with Shakira's performances, as noted by Rolling Stone dubbing her "an international pop goddess." With her tour spanning the globe, stopping in major cities, and considering her past record of sold-out venues, tickets are expected to be a hot commodity among pop enthusiasts and Shakira devotees alike.
