Her 1997 debut concert tour, the Pies Descalzos Tour, took place in North America, South America, and one country in Europe alone, grossing over US$5 million (based on as-record figures).^[1] In 2000 she performed on her Anfibio Tour, which visited only North and South America, earning more than US$10 million (based on the figures of which there are second records), being a moderate success and totally sold-out in countries like Brazil, where Shakira has always maintained a strong following, something never quite achieved before for a Spanish-language artist.^[2] It was after the global success of her English crossover album Laundry Service (2001) that Shakira would embark on one of the most successful tours of her entire career, with the Tour of the Mongoose being her highest-grossing yet (up until that point). The tour was a success in countries such as France, USA, the United Kingdom, Brazil and throughout Latin America.^[3] During this tour, Shakira would perform for massive crowds regularly, in a way rarely ever seen before by a Latin female artist, much less from Colombia. Unexpectedly, Shakira became the first Latin female solo artist to perform at the Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespucio Liberti (also called River Plate Stadium) in La Plata, Argentina; the sold-out show was attended by more than 60,000 people.^[4] Her concert in Santiago, Chile broke Luis Miguel's record for the most-expensive concert tickets in the country’s history, mostly due to Shakira's 2001-2002 rise in global popularity and a high demand from fans.^[5] Her first-time show in Portugal, at the Pavilhão Atlântico, Lisbon, attracted 19,136 people, breaking the attendance record for the venue previously held by the American rock trio R.E.M.^[6]

Several years after the success of her first global tour, Shakira would embark on a second, larger tour, thanks to the success of her albums Fijación Oral Vol. 1 and Oral Fixation Vol. 2. Shakira simply titled the tour the Oral Fixation World Tour,^[7] after the albums. The tour itself was notable for its extensive list of countries and cities in which Shakira and her band visited. This was her first tour where she performed in the Middle East and South Asia, specifically in Cairo, Egypt, Mumbai, India and Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Shakira broke many records during this tour. In Athens, Greece, she became the first female singer to have a show at the Olympic Stadium, attracting more than 40,000 people. In Timisoara, Romania, she is the only female singer who has performed at the Stadionul Dan Păltinișanu, with more than 30,000 spectators (until 2017). At the American Airlines Arena, Miami, Florida, she holds a record for having the most consecutive shows (5) for a female artist at the arena. In Cairo, more than 100,000 people flocked to see Shakira at her concert on the Giza Plateau. This set the record for having the highest attendance of any concert in Egypt's history.^[8] At the Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City, Shakira had 8 back-to-back shows scheduled at the venue, another record for having the most shows at a venue as a female solo artist. She had a sold-out show in Ecuador’s Estadio Modelo Alberto Spencer Herrera, Guayaquil, with over 42,000 people, becoming the only female singer (at the time) to have performed there. In Santiago, her scheduled show at Movistar Arena quickly sold out, and she soon added a second, larger-capacity show at the nearby Estadio Nacional which also sold-out completely. This tour became Shakira’s highest-grossing tour and the highest-grossing Latin music tour of all time.

To promote the albums She Wolf and Sale el Sol Shakira began her tour The Sun Comes Out, being a success and breaking more attendance records for a Latin artist in general than ever before witnessed. She visited a total of 107 countries raising nearly 80 million dollars and breaking records in Mérida (Mexico) where she broke the attendance record where 170,000 people attended.^[9] The concert in Lebanon was attended by 28,000 people, breaking the country's all-time attendance record. It was one of the highest-grossing tours of 2010.^[10] According to Pollstar, the tour grossed a total of $16.9 million during its North American dates, making it number 40 on Pollstar's "Top 50 North American Tours" year-end 2010 list.^[11]

Years later without any tour presented in almost 6 years Shakira embarked on a new tour to promote her most recent record material "El Dorado"^[12] raising 70 million dollars breaking records again in countries like Mexico where she was the first female artist to fill the Stadium Azteca twice in a row^[13] and in Ecuador, broke the record previously held by Bruno Mars for having sold the most tickets during a presale period.^[14]
