Here’s How Much Shakira Is Cashing In on Her 2025 Tour
The Colombian star is riding a wave of success with Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran and her world tour
Shakira has taken her iconic Bizarrap line—“Las mujeres ya no lloran, las mujeres facturan” (“Women don’t cry anymore, they cash in”)—very seriously. That lyric foreshadowed the avalanche of success that would become her latest album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran and the world tour of the same name. And this tour hasn’t just been an artistic triumph—it’s also turned into an unprecedented economic phenomenon.
According to LOS40 Spain, the Colombian star has already sold over 2.5 million tickets across the Americas. In the United States alone, she’s grossed nearly $250 million, putting the tour among the 30 highest-grossing tours in the country this decade. Billboard Boxscore also ranked it as one of the most profitable tours of the year. And the numbers go far beyond ticket sales.
Since kicking off in February 2025 in Rio de Janeiro, the tour has taken Latin America and the U.S. by storm. Shakira has performed more than 50 sold-out shows, including a record-breaking run in Mexico City where, by the time the tour wraps, nearly half a million people will have seen her live.
Economic Impact
The economic boost in host cities has been striking. In the U.S., cities like Charlotte, Arlington, and Detroit saw hotel demand surge by more than 200%, while Airbnb hosts reported an average 38% increase in income. Not surprising, considering many of these places—and several countries across the tour—hadn’t seen Shakira perform live in over a decade. In short (and in big numbers), the shows have already generated more than $100 million.
Across Latin America as a whole, the numbers have already passed $100 million, with about 30 concerts still ahead. A simple projection suggests the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour is on track to surpass $300 million USD.
Beyond the Numbers
More than just revenue, the tour has had a deep cultural impact. After nearly a decade without a world tour, Shakira has reconnected with her fans. In countries like Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Paraguay, and Uruguay, it’s been the biggest tour of the year—cementing Shakira’s status as the most powerful Latin artist on stage in 2025.
In Colombia, for instance, she’ll become the first national artist to perform at Bogotá’s new Estadio Vive Claro, a milestone that highlights her historic influence.
Looking ahead, the tour is expected to continue into 2026 with stops in Europe and Asia, where Shakira also has a massive fan base. The scale of this second leg will depend on venue availability and her schedule, but all signs suggest the phenomenon is only going to keep growing worldwide.
