Why Shakira changed the dates
U.S. & World
On Friday, the Colombian singer announced on her social media that due to the high demand for her concerts, she was going to postpone the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour until May 2025.
"My production has grown to such an extent, as well as the demand for tickets and more shows, that they have exceeded the most optimistic expectations," she wrote.
The announcement comes after it was reported the tour broke sales records, forcing organizers to open new dates in countries such as Colombia and Mexico.
The Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour was supposed to begin on Nov. 2 in Palm Desert, California, and was scheduled to visit cities such as Phoenix, Los Angeles, Miami, San Antonio, Dallas, New York, Boston, Washington, D.C., Chicago and Detroit.
In addition to these concerts in the United States, shows in the Canadian cities of Toronto and Montreal were also postponed.
