Shakira delivered an electrifying halftime show at the Copa América Final between Argentina and Colombia at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, on Sunday.
The set featured AI elements, including a large she-wolf that howled to open the performance alongside floating vehicles. The Colombian singer then emerged from beneath the stage in a silver, sparkly outfit. During her performance of the explosive opening song “Hips Don’t Lie,” she was joined by a group of dancers and pyrotechnics accentuated the upbeat song. She also showed love for her homeland, exclaiming, “Te quiero Colombia!”
For her performances of “Te Felicito,” “TQG,” and “Puntería” from her latest album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, the stage was surrounded by green flames, floating red jewels, and a sea of neon green waves.
Shakira will embark on a world tour beginning in November, kicking off at Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, California on Nov. 2; it’s her first tour since 2018. In a Rolling Stone cover story, she said of the tour, “I think this is going to be the biggest in my career so far, the most extensive, with the most range. It’s also going to be the longest.” She added that her concerts are usually around 90 minutes, but these shows are expected to last a little over two hours.
During the interview, she mentioned that the goal of her upcoming shows is to empower people, and she is working on stage designs to bring her closer to the audience. “My fans have been having a dialogue with me: I’ve spoken and they’ve listened, and they speak and I listen and learn from their experiences,” she said. “Because just like me, there’s a million she-wolves in the world, getting ready to go into battle and finding their way.”
