Dua Lipa joins Shakira on stage in Madrid
The magic happened in Madrid when superstar Shakira, deep into her residency, welcomed a stunning guest who delivered an unforgettable moment: Dua Lipa.
During Shakira’s ongoing ‘Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran’ world tour, which features a highly anticipated residency in the Spanish capital, the show was packed with high-energy performances. As usual, Shakira kicked off the evening by delivering powerful renditions of tracks like ‘La fuerte’, Black Eyed Peas’ ‘GIRL LIKE ME’, ‘Las de la intuición / Estoy aquí’, and ‘Empire / Inevitable’. Later in the setlist, the crowd roared for fan favorites such as ‘Hips Don’t Lie’ and ‘She Wolf’.
But the evening took a truly special turn when Shakira performed her iconic 1995 hit, ‘Antología’. Mid-performance, Shakira brought in a spectacular surprise: Dua Lipa joined her on stage to duet the beloved track. It was a moment that resonated deeply with the audience and highlighted the incredible synergy between the two musical titans.
This surprise collaboration was no accident. Just a few months prior, Lipa had paid a heartfelt homage to Shakira by covering the same song during her recent performance in Bogotá, Colombia. Now, seeing their connection shine in Madrid, the moment felt like a beautiful convergence of shared musical history.
Following the performance, Shakira shared her emotion on social media, expressing how touched she was to hear her song in Dua Lipa’s voice, noting, “I’m so touched to hear my song in Dua’s voice, in the same city where I wrote it years ago… See how music brings us together?”
Dua Lipa embraced the moment, sharing clips of the performance and photos of her time backstage with Shakira. She expressed her gratitude, saying, “Thank you for inviting me to go on stage with you to sing ‘Antología’!! I felt that you, me and the audience were one. So grateful to take home such a beautiful memory!”
Dua Lipa’s recent tour has been a masterclass in musical homage and high-profile collaborations. She has taken the stage performing covers for some of the biggest names in music, including Ariana Grande, Aerosmith, Daft Punk, and Lorde. She has also featured legendary artists like Nile Rodgers, Chaka Khan, and Neil Finn, demonstrating a unique ability to bring diverse musical worlds together.
The collaboration in Madrid provided a perfect example of this spirit. It added a layer of warmth and shared history to the residency, proving that music, when shared, truly connects everyone.
