Shakira is proving once again why she remains an unrivalled force in global pop music. Right now, she sits comfortably as the sixth most-streamed artist on the planet, but it is her latest linguistic milestone that really commands attention. In a historic first, she has officially become the only artist to reach number one on Spotify in both English and Spanish.
The Power of “Dai Dai”
Her latest track, “Dai Dai,” featuring Burna Boy, has effortlessly taken the title of the number one song worldwide. The momentum does not stop at audio streams; the accompanying music video has locked in the number one spot globally on YouTube, recently surpassing a massive 400 million views.
Stadiums and the FIFI World Cup
Following her record-breaking tours across North and South America, Shakira is now gearing up for a staggering 12 stadium shows this September and October. In a move that feels entirely appropriate for her current status, these performances will take place at the aptly named Shakira Stadium in Madrid.
If you somehow miss her European run, there is another major date for your calendar. Shakira is set to perform at the FIFI World Cup finals half-time show in New York City on July 19. It seems 2026 is officially her year, and we are simply here to witness it.
