Shakira is set to reunite with “Hips Don’t Lie” collaborator Wyclef Jean for two special U.S. tour dates. The rapper will join Shakira to kick off her tour in Charlotte, North Carolina, and will later share the stage with the singer in Boston.
“I can’t believe I’m gonna have my longtime friend Wyclef Jean opening for me in Charlotte and in Boston,” Shakira said in an Instagram Story video on Thursday, April 10. “I am so over the moon I can’t wait to sing with you that song about my hips. It’s going to be epic.”
Known as longtime collaborators, the two first teamed up for the 2005 radio hit “Hips Don’t Lie” and later joined forces for “Spy” in 2009.
Shakira is set to kick off the North American leg of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran world tour on Tuesday, May 13, at Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium before heading to New Jersey, Montreal, Detroit, Chicago, Toronto and Boston. The 18-stop tour of the U.S. and Canadian will conclude at Sofi Stadium in Los Angeles on June 20.

In May, Shakira became the first Latin female artist in history to land the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Top Tours chart. This accomplishment was preceded by the Latin America leg of her world tour, where she performed 27 sold-out stadium shows across seven countries. Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran included seven consecutive sold-out shows at Mexico’s GNP Seguros Stadium and two shows in her native Barranquilla, Colombia, marking her first hometown performance in 19 years.
The tour is named after the singer’s 12th studio album, released in 2024, which was awarded a Latin Grammy for Best Latin Pop Album in 2025. Fans can look forward to a combination of the Grammy winner’s greatest hits and newer releases, as the tour is a tribute to her longevity as an artist.
Since first stepping onto the music scene in 1991, Shakira has established herself as one of the most successful Latin artists ever. She has been named by Billboard as the Top Female Latin Artist of the Decade twice and has won four Grammy Awards and 15 Latin Grammy Awards. Her 1995 album Pies Descalzos propelled her to international stardom, and she boasts many Billboard charting releases, including Laundry Service (2001), Oral Fixation, vol. 2 (2005) and She Wolf (2009).
