Dua Lipa and Shakira together on stage in Madrid: the surprise duet

A surprise duet: for the first time Dua Lipa and Shakira shared the same stage in Madrid. During the eighth appointment of the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran residency, on October 3, the British pop star made a surprise appearance to sing Antología, a 1995 song taken from Pies Descalzos, one of the titles that built the myth of the Colombian singer. Shakira introduced her by calling her a "god" and declaring herself a fan, before entrusting her with part of the song. The choice has a particular meaning: Dua Lipa had already sung Antología in Bogotá in 2025, in the city where Shakira had written the song, effectively creating the precedent that led to this meeting.

Two generations of pop

Dua Lipa's presence is part of a residency that Shakira has transformed into one of the most ambitious events of her tour: twelve concerts in Madrid, from 18 September to 11 October, with a series of guests that also includes Alejandro Sanz, The Ghetto Kids and Laura Pausini. But the evening of October 3 had an even broader dimension thanks to the global broadcast of Shakira Live from Madrid, the Colombian singer's first complete concert streamed globally by Amazon Music, Prime Video and Twitch. Thus the duet with Dua Lipa did not remain confined to the over 50 thousand people present in front of the stage: the image of two superstars belonging to different generations singing together a ballad written over thirty years ago reached an international audience at the same time.
