\n\t\u201cAs your longtime tour manager, I am so proud and truly honored to present the first annual Billboard global icon tour award to you,\u201d said tour director Marty Hom, who\u2019s also worked for Fleetwood Mac, Barbra Streisand and The Rolling Stones, among others. \u201cWe get to witness every day how hard you work to do the best show possible for all your fans.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tShakira, who received the news backstage during the rehearsals of her recent show in Cali, Colombia, dedicated the award to her entire team, including dancers, band and crew, for \u201cworking as hard as I do,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Live Nation-produced tour\u2019s first 64 dates (of 82)\u00a0grossed $327.4 million and sold 2.5 million tickets, according to Billboard Boxscore, converting Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran into the highest grossing Latin tour<\/a> ever by a woman and the second highest grossing Latin tour ever (behind only Luis Miguel\u2019s 2023-24 outing, which grossed $409.5 million).<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s encouraging and inspiring,\u201d Shakira said to Hom. \u201cI never thought, not even in my wildest dreams, that I would fill every stadium. It\u2019s incredible and motivating at the same time, I feel like I\u2019m just starting my career, and it\u2019s crazy because it\u2019s been 30 years \u2026 This has been the best tour of my life, it\u2019s been just as we dreamt it. We worked so hard, overcoming every obstacle, it hasn\u2019t been easy, we worked many, many long hours to make everything as good as people deserve it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tBackstage at her show in Cali \u2014 where she performed for the first time in 20 years \u2014 Shakira also discussed her personal life: \u201cI\u2019m completely dedicated to my boys and my career. That\u2019s all I need, my boys, my fans and my music, and creating, it\u2019s fulfilling a big part of my life right now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
