Two months after playing to 400,000 in Mexico City, which was her largest audience ever, Shakira topped herself in Brazil performing a free beach party to a massive crowd 5x that size.
Around 11pm on Saturday night (5/2), the global superstar took the stage on Copacabana Beach in Rio to approximately 2 million fans, many who had arrived early in the morning to get as close as possible to the Grammy-winning star whose catalogue has been streamed more than 28 billion times.
“I arrived here when I was 18 years old, dreaming about singing for you,” Shakira told the enthusiastic crowd after taking the stage. “And now look at this. Life is magical.”
The singer was not alone on the stage. Along with her band, Shakira was joined at various times throughout the 25-song set by guests Caetano Veloso for “O leãozinho”, Maria Bethânia and musicians from samba school Unidos da Tijuca on “O que é o que é?” and Ivete Sangalo for “País tropical”.
