Shakira has officially cemented another milestone in her legendary career, setting a major streaming benchmark for female artists on Amazon Music during a momentous concert in the Spanish capital.
The Colombian superstar’s performance on Oct. 3, 2026, in Madrid has broken records to become the most-viewed livestream performance by a female artist in the history of the streaming platform. Amazon Music shared the historic news via a press release on Sunday, Oct. 4, just a day after the high-profile broadcast captivated audiences around the globe. The landmark event formed a central part of Shakira’s sprawling 12-date residency at the specially constructed Shakira Stadium in Madrid, a high-octane run of shows that anchors her current global outing, the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour.
While fans who packed the temporary venue within Madrid’s Iberdrola Music complex were already primed for an unforgettable evening, the concert delivered far beyond expectations. Shakira treated the massive crowd to a hit-heavy setlist that spanned three decades of her illustrious career in Latin music, showcasing the enduring appeal of her genre-bending catalog. However, the true high-water mark of the night arrived when the singer welcomed a major surprise guest to the stage, sending shockwaves through both the live audience and the digital broadcast.
Pop powerhouse Dua Lipa made a stunning, unannounced appearance alongside Shakira to deliver a poignant, stripped-back acoustic rendition of “Antología,” a beloved classic from Shakira’s breakout 1997 studio album, Pies Descalzos. The intimate duet immediately became a viral talking point and a defining highlight of the residency. Afterward, an elated Shakira expressed to the crowd just how deeply the moment resonated with her, calling it "what this tour was missing."
“For me, it’s an honor and a privilege to sing this song, which means so much to me, with this woman who is so admired and loved around the world,” Shakira told the spellbound audience. More than 50,000 fans filled the stadium to witness the collaboration in person, while countless others tuned in from home. The global audience caught the historic duet through a multi-platform broadcast supported by Amazon Music, Prime Video, and Twitch, expanding the concert’s reach to millions of viewers worldwide.
The cross-generational musical moment resonated deeply with Dua Lipa as well. Following the conclusion of the show, the British-Albanian star took to Instagram to share her excitement and gratitude with her followers. Posting in Spanish, Dua Lipa reflected on the profound connection she felt on stage, writing, “I felt that you, me, and the audience were one. Very grateful to take home such a beautiful memory!!!”
The record-breaking concert was staged at Shakira Stadium, a massive temporary venue engineered specifically to accommodate the artist’s ambitious 12-date residency in Madrid. The residency officially opened on Sept. 18 and is slated to wrap up with its final performance on Oct. 11, marking one of the most prominent live music events of the year in Europe.
Furthermore, the triumphant livestream served as a flagship event for Amazon Music’s broader 2026 Women Shaping Latin Music campaign. The ongoing initiative is designed to celebrate the influential female artists, innovative sounds, and profound cultural movements that continue to drive the global success and evolution of Latin music. With her record-breaking numbers and the unforgettable cross-cultural collaboration with Dua Lipa, Shakira once again demonstrated her unparalleled ability to make history on both the physical stage and the digital frontier.
