Singer Shakira held a huge concert in Mexico City in 2026. The event happened in the famous Zócalo square. Around 400,000 fans came to watch the show. The number of people created a new record for the location. The performance happened during a world tour. The tour is the singer’s first global concert series since 2018.
The singer started a music career many years ago and released many popular songs. Early music appeared in the 1990s. Later, international success followed with several famous songs and albums. The newest album, “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran,” came out in 2024. Music experts also announced a nomination for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2026. If selected, Shakira could become the first Colombian artist and the first Latina raised in Latin America to join the famous music institution.
