In her Instagram post, Shakira expressed her joy, saying, “My beautiful Mexico! 12 shows at Estadio GNP! Thank you, thank you, and thank you again for continuing to break records with me. See you soon. I love you!!” The post included a picture of her holding a plaque from OCESA honoring her achievements.

The next phase of her tour in Mexico kicks off on Aug. 11 at Estadio Caliente in Tijuana, with several dates lined up across different cities, including Hermosillo, Chihuahua, and Torreón. Following her historic run of seven sold-out performances at Estadio GNP Seguros, Shakira is set to take the stage in Mexico City again on Aug. 26, 27, 29, and 30, plus Sept. 18, bringing her total to 12 shows there.

As part of her record-setting tour, Shakira will also match Grupo Firme’s record of eight shows at Estadio GNP Seguros, with the band scheduled to perform their eighth show on June 28. The recent surge in ticket sales has prompted Shakira to keep adding show dates to accommodate her fans.
