- YouTube Royalty: With over 27 billion views, she holds the title of the most-viewed female Latin artist on YouTube.
- The “Times Square” Takeover: To celebrate her 2024 album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, she drew a crowd of 40,000+ people to Times Square—the largest audience ever recorded for a performance at that location.
- A Polyglot & Philanthropist: Beyond her vocals, Shakira is known for her high IQ and her work with the Pies Descalzos Foundation, which builds schools for displaced children in Colombia.

Why the Buzz is Different This Time
This isn’t just a concert; it’s the Feeding India Concert, which carries a mission to raise awareness and funds to fight hunger. India’s fans are known for their unparalleled energy, and after Shakira’s record-breaking run of 12 sold-out stadium shows in Mexico City, she is reportedly “surprised and thrilled” by the massive digital footprint and demand coming from the Indian subcontinent.
Whether you’re there for the nostalgia of the 2000s or the empowering anthems of her latest 7x Platinum album, this April is set to be historic.
Pro Tip: If you’re planning to attend, ensure you are logged into your ticketing portals at least 15 minutes before the 1 March general sale begins. These tickets are truly “selling like hot cakes!”
