Shakira returns to Spain for spectacular Madrid residency as €55 million tax dispute reaches Supreme Court

Colombian superstar Shakira has returned to Madrid for a spectacular 12-date residency that is expected to draw more than 600,000 fans. The Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour opened on September 18 with a two-hour performance at Iberdrola Music in Villaverde, showcasing a range of her hits from her early career to recent tracks. The show included traditional carnival figures and an immersive cultural space, Macondo Park, inspired by Gabriel García Márquez.

While the concert was a resounding success, a tax battle with Spanish authorities over €55 million continues to unfold in the Spanish Supreme Court. The dispute stems from tax assessments and penalties from 2011, separate from a criminal case from 2012 to 2014. Despite the ongoing litigation, Shakira's residency has become a significant economic boost for Madrid, with an estimated €150 million to €200 million in direct economic impact from the concerts.
