Shakira has given many live performances throughout her career, including concerts in different countries, appearances on TV shows, music festivals, charity events, sports events, awards ceremonies, and more.[1][2] Most of these performances have been televised, recorded on CDs, and shared online; some are available for sale.[3]
She debuted in the 90s by performing at award shows and Latin programs. Her performance in the Super Bowl Halftime Show with Jennifer Lopez became the most-watched Halftime Show on streaming platforms, in addition to having 103 million television viewers.[4] Shakira's name generated over 2.6 million tweets, which was more than the Super Bowl itself (1.85 million) placing her at number one on trending topics.[5] Her presentation in 2005 with Alejandro Sanz at the MTV Awards, where they sang "La Tortura," was the first time a song was presented entirely in Spanish in the history of the awards.[6] Shakira's first international tour in 2001, called "Tour of the Mongoose," was described as "the greatest show in the history of Colombia."[7]
Her "Oral Fixation World Tour" was the highest-grossing concert series for a Latina artist to date. According to Pollstar, Shakira has sold more than 2.7 million tickets from 2000 to 2020.[8]
Shakira's concerts have been called "top-tier pop shows," attracting diverse audiences from various social classes, sexual orientations, ethnicities, and religions.[9] Her presentations are characterized by having "her own unique style." Some journalists say that her show focuses more on the "artistic" and not so much on production. She often performs barefoot, wears minimal makeup and natural hairstyle, and has no background dancers in her performances, preferring to focus on her voice, dance moves, and stage presence.[10] Other artists have imitated her performances, including Peruvian singer and model Leslie Shaw who gave a performance inspired by Shakira's performance at the 2000 Latin Grammy Awards, where she performed her song "Ojos Así" from her album Dónde Están los Ladrones?.[11]
