From 'She Wolf' to 'Hips Don't Lie,' Shakira sizzled on Night 1 in Phoenix
Shakira rarely stopped moving in the course of a crowd-pleasing two-hour concert at PHX Arena on Sunday, June 22, leading her band and dancers in a fast-paced journey through her catalog, from the throbbing house beats of her dance hits to hard-hitting rock en español and tender ballads. The Colombian superstar packed the downtown Phoenix venue (formerly called Footprint Center) for the first of two performances on the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran Tour, named for a breakup album she released in 2024 whose title means Women No Longer Cry. She performs again on Monday, June 23. The choreography was stunning, the spotlight inevitably returning to Shakira's swiveling hips, which as you know if you're at all familiar with her catalog, don't lie. She's an amazing dancer who even engaged in a little belly dancing on "Ojos Así" and some tastefully suggestive pole dancing during "Soltera," dancing with knives on 'Whenever, Wherever.' After treating the crowd to a handful of greatest videos, a better warmup act than most, Shakira made her entrance strutting through the crowd in a shimmering track suit to the end of a platform that cut a swath through the arena, where she and two musician from her backing band performed the dance hit 'La fuerte.' By the second song, 'Girl Like Me,' she had removed the track suit to reveal a glittering minidress and was by two dancers. By the third song, a pulsating medley of 'Las de la intuición' and 'Estoy aquí,' she was leading a team of six dancers. Shakira concert setlist 2025: Songs she sang at PHX Arena in Phoenix Shakira went through countless costume changes as the night went on in an elaborately staged production. She donned a welding mask to work on one of four male dancers dressed as robots in a futuristic scene based on the music to 'Te Felicito.' "Acróstico," performed unplugged and seated at the end of the runway, showed her sons Milan and Sasha joining in the video screen behind the screen, which showed Shakira swimming through the ocean as a mermind on 'Copa Vacía." She performed 'Chantaje' on a live feed from her dressing room, was joined by dancers in colorful costumes in a joyous performance of 'Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)' and brought the concert to a stunning climax with 'She Wolf,' a giant wolf towering over the stage, before closing with one of the biggest hits from "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran," "Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53." A series of short videos served as smooth transitions between acts while she was changing costumes. As elaborate as all that staging was, though, nothing played to the back rows more effectively than Shakira, from her sexy dance moves to that magnetic smile the star kept flashing at the cameras. These songs were on Shakira's setlist when her 2025 Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour played downtown Phoenix on Sunday, June 22, for the first show of a two-night stand: Shakira music videos (including 'La Tortura,' 'Chantaje,' 'Puntaria,' 'Pies Delscazos, Sueños Blancos,,' 'Última' and 'Besame.' 'Caloris' (video interlude) 'La Fuerte' 'Girl Like Me' 'Las de la intuición' / 'Estoy Aquí' 'Empire' / 'Inevitable' 'Te Felicito' / 'TQG' 'Don't Bother' 'Wolf Children" (video interlude) 'Acróstico' (with video of Sasha and Milan singing) "Mermaid" (video interlude) 'Copa Vacía' / La Bicicleta' / 'La Tortura' 'Never Lie" (video interlude) 'Hips Don't Lie' 'Chantaje' 'Addicted to You' / 'Loca' 'Soltera' 'Si Te Vas' 'Diamond Tear' (video interlude) 'Última' 'Ojos Así' 'Pies Descalzos"/ "Baby Shak Poem' (video interlude with elements of "¿Dónde estás corazón?", "Vuelve", "Un Poco de Amor" and "Estoy aquí") 'Pies Descalzos, Sueños Blancos' 'Antología' 'Underneath Your Clothes' 'Braids' (video interlude) 'Whenever, Wherever' 'Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)' '10 Commandments of a She Wolf' (video interlude) "Isabell the Wolf" (video interlude) 'She Wolf' 'BZRP Music Sessions #53' Ed has covered pop music for The Republic since 2007, reviewing festivals and concerts, interviewing legends, covering the local scene and more.

Kendrick Lamar and SZA at State Farm Stadium: Ultimate Phoenix concert guide
Kendrick Lamar is bringing his Grand National Tour with SZA to State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on Tuesday, May 27, 2025. The tour is in support of 'GNX,' a surprise release that topped the Billboard album chart in late November 2024, Lamar's fourth consecutive release to do so. The Grand National Tour launched on April 19 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis to glowing reviews. The Minnesota Star Tribune raved, "The biggest takeaway from Saturday's Kendrick Lamar concert … was confirmation of what Twin Cities (hip-hop) lovers already suspected from his previous, smaller shows: He's the G.O.A.T.' Billboard wrote, 'If Kendrick's stage show is a masterclass of a laser-focused vision, SZA's is a revelation of creative energy.' And USA TODAY weighed in: "The pair showcased how dichotomous stagecraft and differing cadences can lead to a beautiful collision." This is the Pulitzer Prize-winning hip-hop icon's first metro Phoenix concert since 2022, when the Big Steppers Tour played Footprint Center (now PHX Arena) in downtown Phoenix in support of his "Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers" album. In 2018 he brought the Top Dawg Championship Tour to Ak-Chin Pavilion (now Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre) in Phoenix. SZA headlined Footprint Center in 2024 in support of "SOS," a second album that topped the charts and made the rounds of year-end critics' lists, from BPM to Consequence and Brooklyn Vegan. The album sent five singles to the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, including the chart-topping "Kill Bill," which went five times platinum. SZA and Lamar topped Billboard's Hot 100 earlier this year with 'Luther,' and went Top 10 with '30 for 30,' adding to their list of hit collaborations. And of course people are still talking about the Super Bowl 2025 halftime show that Lamar and SZA performed in New Orleans. Here's everything you need to know about the Kendrick Lamar/SZA concert at State Farm Stadium. Kendrick Lamar and SZA will be joined at State Farm Stadium by DJ Mustard.
