'I officially declare myself her fan': Shakira brings Dua Lipa onstage in Madrid to sing 'Antología' on the night streamed worldwide

The eighth night of the 'Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran' residency at Iberdrola Music in Madrid brought its most anticipated guest yet. It was past 10:30 p.m. local time on Saturday (Oct. 3) when Shakira introduced Dua Lipa: 'For me it is an honor and a luxury to sing this song that means so much to me, with this woman so admired and loved around the world and by me personally, because I officially declare myself her fan.'

The two sang 'Antología', a track from 1995's 'Pies Descalzos'. The duet closes a loop: in 2025, on her 'Radical Optimism' tour, Dua Lipa sang the song in Spanish at Bogotá's El Campín stadium, and Shakira reacted emotionally on social media. According to Colombian newspaper El Colombiano, the collaboration began to take shape after the two met in Paris earlier this year.

The show was the first of the residency streamed in full worldwide, via Amazon Music, Prime Video and Twitch. Before Dua, Laura Pausini, Alejandro Sanz and Manuel Turizo had already joined Shakira on the Madrid stage. According to news agency EFE, the run is expected to draw more than 600,000 people over 12 dates through Oct. 11, and the tour has already passed 6 million spectators.
