I had lots of fun and was entertained. I only knew/recognized maybe 5 or 6 songs. I think my favorite was Africa. I expected dancers but it was just her the whole time.

HITS DON'T LIE Shakira tops list as most-played female artist on YouTube in 2017The Colombian singer had a strong year, releasing Latin hits like Perro Fiel and Me Enamore SHAKIRA’s hips don’t lie – and neither do the figures as she was revealed as the most played female artist on YouTube last year. The sexy singer, 40, gained hundreds of millions of views thanks to Latin hits like Perro Fiel and Me Enamore. Shakira's El Dorado reaches 6B streams + Shakira reunites with Alejandro Sanz and plays in Miami- About 4.6B Youtube views of her videos, audios and lyric videos from El Dorado. - About 1.5B Spotify plays of El Dorado's song to date. - A Sony Music representative gave Shakira the plaque while she on tour. - Shakira was the most played female artist in both Spotify and Youtube last year. In other news, Shakira continues her successful North American tour. Yesterday, she played her second show in Miami, where she met with a special visitor: her long-time friend and collaborator, Alejandro Sanz. Sadly, Alejandro didn't join her on stage for their hit La Tortura, but he posted this picture:

I don't follow her closely enough anymore to be able to spot any stat errors. The info was from an article, that website probably confused top latin artist on spotify with top artist on spotify. Regardless, at this point in her career even being in the top 10 is significant. TBH, I expected her popularity to drop a lot more since she hasn't done promo in over a decade. She released El Dorado with zero promo, same goes for the tour. How long can she get away with doing no promo? I dunno. We'll see. The top 10 from your link is: 1. Rihanna 2. Taylor Swift 3. Selena Gomez 4. Ariana Grande 5. Sia 6. Shakira 7. Dua Lipa 8. Nicki Minaj 9. Katy Perry 10. Alessia Cara I'm surprised she's still up there with the top acts.

She has also hitched her wagon to Maluma and Nicky Jam. All of the credit isn't hers when she has two artists who are currently hot boosting her singles.

She's currently doing a soundcheck at the 100,000 Azteca stadium in Mexico City. She's doing two nights at the stadium. 200,000 fans are expected.

Tonight was the 2nd show and it was raining again! Fans were stuck in traffic at the start of the show. A couple of empty seats, but the show was soldout months ago:
She again used alot of fireworks. I wonder if they still plan to release the DVD or if they are going to cancel it due to the rain?

The main reason we likely won't get an English album is because that would require her to do promo. She's very happy over in Spain spending time with her family. Even for this tour, she said she just wanted to do arenas in major cities in US/Europe then a few big stadiums in Latin America. She also asked for breaks between legs. I don't see her ever doing a tour that is longer than this one. What I do expect is more of the same: new music, new videos, a similar arena/stadium tour and no promo. She's ok with doing anything Live Nation asks her to do as long as she can do it in Spain. She's able to get away with doing Spanish albums with no promo because she's seen as a Legend in the Latin world, but can she release a successful English album with no promo? Probably not. But, who knows. Maybe now that her kids are older she'll be ok with doing a small promo tour? I still think that's highly unlikely.
She seems to be enjoying the tour, so maybe she'll dedicate more time to her career in the future:

I'm surprised by how much fans are loving Antologia. It's from the 90s, yet the fans always sing along to it:
Mexico: (this video shows how massive that crowd was)
Brazil:
The fans in Brazil are crazy:
She's also selling out her stadium shows in Argentina:

I don't believe it, but here's the current rumor. Even if she does do an English album, it's going to be difficult for it to succeed in the English market since she doesn't like doing promo anymore.
If she does get a big English hit, they are likely going to try doing stadium shows for Shakira in the US. I know that they thought about it for the "Sale El Sol" tour. They looked into booking stadiums in FL, NY, CA (Dodger's stadium) & Texas (at&t stadium). In Miami she did 5 soldout arena shows for her Oral Fixation tour (a record for that arena). In LA & NY she often does multiple shows, so it might be possible. Personally, I see it as too much of a gamble. They likely will stay with arenas.

- Shakira singing Jorge Negrete!! Yay! Lol - Antología is a CLASSIC! This was her first big ballad, and Latinos love our good ballads Plus it’s not like she sang a lot from her early years... and Estoy Aquí and Donde Estas Corazon were remixed and at the beginning of the show... - I’d LOVE for her to have a comeback and I think there’s always room for her to do better, but she may have had the worst strategy to make that happen... I mean, Chantaje could’ve easily been THAT hit, after Despacito was a hit, this had potential and interest. But nothing was done to capitalize on it. Before that, Dare was a missed opportunity. Even Medicine could’ve done more, etc, etc. I haven’t lost faith but I’ll have very limited expectations. She’s still a great artist -and her concert was AWESOME!

I hope the collaborations are way more organic than "Can't Remember To Forget You", if that English, collab-heavy album is true.
Camila Cabello and Cardi B both have some Latin roots, I could see something cool happening with them.

Shakira Could Face Criminal Proceedings for Tax Fraud: Report 12/7/2018 by Judy Cantor-Navas
Shakira performs during the 'El Dorado World Tour at The O2 Arena on June 11, 2018 in London, England. The Colombian singer, who resides in Barcelona, has been under investigation for allegedly failing pay 14.5 million Euros in taxes.
After a year-long investigation into her alleged failure to pay 14.5 million euros (over $16.5 million) to the Spanish government, Shakira will reportedly face criminal tax fraud charges, according to Spain’s El Pais newspaper. A report in El Pais published on Friday (Dec. 7) said that authorities have notified the singer’s attorney of the pending court charges, reporting that the information came from sources “close to the proceedings.”
The investigation, according to previous reports in El Pais and other Spanish media, has centered on whether the singer resided in Spain between 2011 and 2014, according to the legal definition of residence. Spanish law stipulates that if she spent at least 183 days in Spain she is considered a fiscal resident of the country and must pay taxes on all of her global income to the Spanish tax agency. (If she spent less time in Spain, she would be required to pay taxes only on the money she earned working inside the country.)
According to reports, Shakira filed her taxes as if she spent the better part of those years in the Bahamas, rather than living with her partner, Barcelona Futbol Club soccer player Gerard Pique, in the Esplugues de Llobregat area of Barcelona. The couple’s relationship went public in 2011 with photos of them together in Barcelona; the first of their two sons was born in a Barcelona hospital in 2013. The Spanish tax authority launched its investigation into the Latin star on suspicion that she claimed to be living in the Bahamas to evade taxes.
In a response to investigators, according to documents previously cited by El Pais, Shakira’s defense said that she was away from Spain during most of the time in the cited years, and that most of her income came from abroad. In addition, she maintained that she had not attempted to willfully hide her income, and characterized the issue as one of “a difference in criteria.”
In a statement provided to Billboard on Friday, the singer's representatives laid out what they called the "discrepancies between PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and the Spanish Tax Agency regarding Shakira’s fiscal status in Spain and a possible forthcoming legal complaint." The statement says that "Shakira has at all times fulfilled her tax obligations and owes no money to the Spanish Treasury. As soon as she was made aware of the amount that according to the Tax Agency she owed, as a gesture of good faith, she made the payment in full, and, therefore, there are currently no monies owed."
It adds that the singer has "fulfilled all tax obligations" and has always followed the advice of the respected accounting firm PwC, who began working with her in 2012, explaining that Shakira's is a "unique case" of a foreign citizen of Spain whose income is generated almost entirely (96%) abroad. "It is important to note that Shakira’s intense professional activity takes her all over the world, and as such, her business and family models are very different from conventional models," according to the statement.
"Until 2015, as demonstrated, Shakira never spent more than 183 days per year in Spain, and she even spent long periods with her children in other countries, particularly in the United States where she has most of her professional engagements. In this sense, the artist’s payment of the debt estimated by the Spanish Tax Agency shows her willingness to resolve the discrepancy, and has been fulfilled in spite of the existence of technical criteria that challenge her alleged status as a fiscal resident in Spain before 2015."
In November 2017, Shakira’s name appeared in the “Paradise Papers,” leaked files that revealed the offshore financial dealings of celebrities, politicians and corporations. That information, obtained by the the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung, revealed that Shakira declared the Bahamas -- where she reportedly owns a home -- as her fiscal residence, and that money from the rights to her music is administered in countries known as tax havens, such as Malta and Luxembourg.
This past February, Shakira paid the Spanish government more than 20 million euros (almost $25 million dollars) in back taxes. According to the Spanish newspaper, that was for money owed only for the year 2011. The statement from Shakira's rep concludes: "since there there is no longer any pending tax liability, the only issue under discussion at this time is the correct interpretation of the rule regarding when the artist became a tax resident in Spain," noting that Shakira has always been "absolutely willing" to collaborate with the Tax Administration in order to resolve the differences.
