Shakira is nearing the conclusion of her highly anticipated concerts in Mexico as part of her tour ‘Women No Longer Cry’. This tour has been a testament to her resilience and artistic dedication.
Although most performances have gone smoothly, the heavy rains on September 2 and 3 posed significant challenges. Specifically, the dressing room at the Corregidora Stadium in Querétaro was flooded due to leaks in the roof, raising concerns about the show’s viability.
Shakira shared this incident on her social media, stating, “Look at my dressing room before the concert last night.” The video reveals a chaotic scene with water dripping from the sides and bags strewn across the floor to catch the leaks.
Despite the adverse weather conditions, the devoted crowd did not leave disappointed. Shakira continued her performance amidst the rain, capturing the hearts of fans with her unwavering spirit. Clips taken by the audience showcased the sheer determination of the artist who sang her heart out under the pouring rain.
- “I was nostalgic to see them all sad, crestfallen as scolding.”
- “What a bad vibe that it rained and did not enjoy as it should have.”
- “What a waste of energy; I would be ecstatic with Tláloc singing with Shakira in the rain, grateful for being happy and alive.”
- “They would have sung: the sky is tired of seeing the rain fall.”
Shakira is scheduled to perform two more concerts in Jalisco, with a grand finale at the GNP Stadium in Mexico City on September 18. Following her remarkable journey, she celebrated achieving over one million tickets sold in Mexico alone. “One million tickets … in a country of 129 million inhabitants!”, she exclaimed, showcasing her popularity and acclamation.
This staggering statistic is not just a reflection of Shakira’s talent but also a testament to the unwavering affection shown by her Mexican fans. The demand for tickets has been unprecedented; all twelve shows at the GNP Seguros Stadium in Mexico City sold out completely.
This venue, once known as Forum Sol, stands as one of the most iconic concert venues in the nation, boasting a capacity of 65,000. Few artists can fill such a venue, let alone do it twelve times in a row. Shakira’s enduring star power continues to shine brightly.
