There are concerts. And then there are moments that instantly become legend.
During her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour stop in El Salvador, Shakira found herself face-to-face with a ghost from her past — or at least a very creative version of it. While lighting up the stage at Estadio Nacional Jorge “Mágico” González, the Colombian star was blindsided by something in the crowd that nobody saw coming.
A fan had brought a mask. Not just any mask — but a dramatic caricature of her ex, Gerard Piqué.
And the timing? Brutal. Perfect. Iconic.
It happened right in the middle of “BZRP Music Sessions #53,” the explosive track she created with Bizarrap after their 2022 breakup — a song that left zero room for subtlety.
As the crowd screamed along to one of the loudest, most cathartic parts of the track, a concertgoer near the front lifted the mask high. It wasn’t subtle. Flaming eyes. Red devil horns. A long tongue. The message was loud without saying a word.
At first, it melted into the frenzy of lights and movement. But the fan edged closer to the barrier, determined to be seen. And then — it happened.
Shakira looked up. She froze for a split second. Her eyes widened. And then she laughed.
Not a polite smile. Not a forced grin. A real, spontaneous laugh in the middle of a stadium performance. The crowd erupted. The energy doubled. And without missing a lyric, she kept going — turning what could have been awkward into pure stage gold.
Clips of the exchange spread online within minutes, with fans applauding her composure and sense of humor. Because let’s be honest — the symbolism was impossible to ignore.
BZRP Music Sessions #53 is loaded with sharp lyrical nods to her breakup with Gerard Piqué. After their split made headlines, she didn’t stay silent — she channeled everything into her art.
Since the separation went public, music has become her release valve — and her loudspeaker. The track quickly evolved beyond chart success. It wasn’t just another viral anthem. It was a declaration.
And this tour? It feels like the continuation of that statement.
Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran isn’t just a series of concerts. It feels autobiographical. Each show blends spectacle with something far more intimate — a woman reclaiming her narrative in front of thousands.
The Latin American leg wraps on February 27 in Mexico City. The tour then resumes April 4 in Abu Dhabi, pushing the story onto yet another continent.
Behind the scenes, plans are already taking shape for what comes next.
Entertainment reporter Jordi Martin, speaking on El Gordo y La Flaca, revealed new details about Shakira’s upcoming plans in Europe.

According to him, the global superstar is set to head back to Spain later this year — but she won’t be reconnecting with Barcelona. Instead, Madrid is expected to serve as the central hub for the European leg of her tour. The shift, he explained, comes down to practical and logistical considerations rather than sentiment.
He further shared that her two sons, Milan and Sasha, are likely to accompany her on the road. To ensure stability in their schooling, they will reportedly continue their studies with private tutors while traveling alongside their mother during the tour.
Through it all, one thing is clear: this era belongs entirely to her.
Even when ghosts of yesterday try to resurface — even dressed up in something as theatrical as a horned disguise — she refuses to be shaken. She meets it with a smile. She turns up the volume. And she strides forward without missing a beat.
And the crowd? They’re right there with her.
