Some Taylor Swift fans said Tuesday that Shakira was pulling out too many creative elements from Swift’s Eras Tour for her upcoming trek, the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour.
Feedback from a vocal section of Swifties came amid news that Shakira’s upcoming world tour has already managed to break one of Swift’s Eras Tour records: Shakira, 47, became the first female artist to sell out five consecutive stadium shows at Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City, per Marca.
Swift, 34, previously held the record with four consecutive sold-out shows at the stadium, formerly known as Foro Sol, during her most recent tour.

“The inspiration is clearly from the eras tour but if this goes viral they will do mental gymnastics to pretend it doesn’t,” said one user.

One user joked that Shakira, 47, “said The Eras Tour is NOT over yet,” while another said Shakira’s team “might as well call it Taylor’s eras tour.”
One fan responded to a clip in the thread that supposedly showed a video of Shakira’s rehearsals for the tour, claiming that Shakira and her team were also copying Swift’s choreography with their upcoming show.
“She also jumped in the water lol,” the fan said. “I think she and her team studied the eras tour to create something like the eras tour.”
Swift would be heavily scrutinized if she were on the other side of the argument, several fans said.
“If T**lor had copied someone like that they would never stop talking about it,” said one user, while another added: “Imagine if Taylor had copied another artist, murder would have been committed.”
Some Swift fans were more sympathetic to the South American singer, whose full name is Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll.
“It’s okay because we love Shakira,” one user said, while another added, “mom carries the legacy but in” Spanish.
One fan said that “Shakira had eras before Taylor was born,” while another jokingly called the upcoming trek “The Shakeras Tour.”

Shakira had previously announced just four shows at the stadium, but she added a fifth record-breaking sold-out show in response to extraordinary fan demand.
“Mexico love, five dates at Estadio BNP… we broke the record,” Shakira reportedly wrote on social media to celebrate the milestone.
According to Estadio BNP Seguros‘ website, the venue – the second largest stadium in Mexico City – has a capacity of 65,000 people for concert events.
Shakira said she has postponed the dates for the North American leg of her tour to move shows from arenas to larger stadiums.
“The demand for tickets and more shows has reached the point that our tour now needs stadiums in the US and more dates so I can see as many of you as possible,” Shakira said on her Instagram Stories on Friday. Billboard. “As a result, we are elevating my North American run from arenas to stadiums and moving the dates to May 2025, immediately following my Latin American tour.”
The move initially disappointed some fans who didn’t want to wait to see the Always, Wherever artist, but now many more fans will have the opportunity to attend her concerts.
Her good fortune is in stark contrast to other established artists – including Jennifer Lopez and The Black Keys – who have been forced to cancel or downgrade their tours after failing to attract the same level of fan interest as in previous years.
Last week, the Latin American star unveiled the music video for her single Soltera, and the clip has already been viewed 26 million times as of Monday.
Shakira’s Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour is named after the album of the same name, which she released in March.

Swift still holds many records after scoring the highest-grossing tour ever with her Eras Tour, which also became the first tour to gross $1 billion; seen in August 2023 in Inglewood, California.
The LP – whose title translates to Women No Longer Cry – was a hit around the world, and especially in the US, where it topped both the Billboard Latin Pop Albums chart and the Top Latin Albums chart.
The album also reached an impressive No. 13 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, and has been certified 7x Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for more than 420,000 album-equivalent units.
Shakira’s 2025 world tour kicks off in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on February 11, followed by stops in Peru, her home country of Colombia, Chile, Argentina and Mexico.
After a break between March and May, the tour will resume on May 13 in Charlotte, North Carolina, followed by dates in the Northeast, South and West.
