"Good night, Coachella!" Shakira yelled to her immense crowd. "Thank you, Bizarrap, for inviting me! Truthfully, it's amazing being here with this audience, with you, my colleague, my friend."
Before she left the stage, Shakira dropped her tour news. The fans were overblown and surprised to say the least.
"I have something to share today. Biza, I'm going on tour! I'm going on tour finally starting here , this November, this year, this city . I can't wait. I couldn't ask for more!"
On Twitter, Shakira informed her followers on how to register for information and ticket presales.
"So stoked to finally announce that "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" World Tour is happening," the "Whenever, Wherever" singer said. "Can't wait to be back on stage partying and celebrating with my wolfpack! Dates coming up soon!"

What is the inspiration behind Shakira's "Las Mujeres Ya No LLoran" album?
Shakira said that the creativity for her new album stemmed from her painful breakup with her ex-partner, Spanish soccer player Gerard Piqué. The couple, who share two sons, announced their split in June 2022, with the reasoning being career stress and Piqué's infidelity.
When appearing on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, Shakira opened up about how being "husbandless" gave her the boost she needed to jumpstart her career and reign the charts again.
"Now, I'm husbandless! He was dragging me down. Now, I'm free! Now, I can actually work!""Shakira
