\n\tShakira wanted to end her European residency in Madrid on a high note, and for her 13th concert, she surrounded herself with great friends. Maluma, Laura Pausini, Be\u00e9le, Dani Mart\u00edn and Bizarrap joined her for one last night, which also featured dancers from the Carnival of Barranquilla, a drone display and a visibly emotional Shakira bidding farewell.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThere has been a before and after for me. It\u2019s all felt like a dream, and honestly, I don\u2019t want to leave,\u201d the Colombian superstar told the audience. \u201cIt\u2019s going to be very, very hard to leave Spain again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tInside Macondo Park, The City Created for Shakira\u2019s Residency in\u00a0Madrid\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\tAnnounced a week earlier as \u201cThe Last Dance,\u201d Monday\u2019s concert (Oct. 12) brought the residency to a total of 13 shows and concluded with four consecutive performances from Oct. 9-12. The finale also coincided with Spain\u2019s National Day (D\u00eda de la Hispanidad), with Latin culture strongly present throughout the celebration.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019ve prepared so many, many surprises for you tonight,\u201d Shakira teased shortly after starting the show. \u201cTonight, I\u2019m not holding anything back. I\u2019m going to give you everything, everything, everything I have, because there\u2019s nothing like when a she-wolf meets her pack.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe first surprise came with Maluma, who returned for the second night in a row to perform \u201cChantaje\u201d and \u201cAgua\u201d alongside Shakira. \u201cWe\u2019ve already done four songs together; we should form a group called Shaluma,\u201d joked Shakira to her compatriot, who replied that he was ready to create many more songs with her.<\/p>\n

\n\tLater, Shakira paused the show for several minutes to thank the audience and everyone who made possible what she described as one of \u201cthe most important\u201d projects of her career. \u201cThis residency has been historic for me,\u201d she said, adding that during these weeks, she had also gone through difficult moments, including her father\u2019s health issues and other personal challenges. She said the audience gave her the strength to step on stage every night \u201cwith total joy and a full heart\u2026 You\u2019ve made me feel like I\u2019m just starting my career, and I will never forget that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe superstar then extended her gratitude to everyone who had been part of the show and Macondo Park, as well as Sony Music, Live Nation, her team, musicians and dancers. According to Shakira, more than 10,000 people worked on the production of the show and the themed city that was built around the stadium. She also gave a particularly heartfelt thank-you to her ex Antonio de la R\u00faa, a current collaborator, introducing him as \u201ca great friend, a soul friend.\u201d Shakira highlighted his support during the tour and his work behind the creation and details of the project.<\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing her thank-yous, Laura Pausini took the stage as \u201cthe cherry on top,\u201d as Shakira presented her. The Italian artist returned to the residency to perform a duet of \u201cAntolog\u00eda,\u201d as she had during one of the first nights of the residency. Before singing, she took a moment to offer some words, emphasizing what Shakira\u2019s career represents for younger generations of artists. \u201cYou are a lesson for so many,\u201d she said. \u201cJust imagine our younger colleagues who see the immense example that you are of a long and very solid career.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe next guest was Dani Mart\u00edn, former lead singer of El Canto del Loco and one of the most recognized names in Spanish pop-rock, who joined her for \u201cTe Dejo Madrid.\u201d Shakira introduced him with a nod to the song\u2019s lyrics: \u201cToday, I\u2019m going to sing this with a Madrile\u00f1o who won\u2019t break my heart.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tBe\u00e9le later joined her for a performance of \u201cAlgo T\u00fa,\u201d while several Carnival of Barranquilla dancers filled the stage, bringing a piece of her hometown\u2019s celebration to a night that coincided with Spain\u2019s National Day. For \u201cDai Dai,\u201d the Ghetto Kids joined the celebration in a particularly colorful and vibrant evening.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe final performance also highlighted just how far the residency had come. \u201cWhen they proposed doing eight concerts here in Madrid, I thought it would be impossible,\u201d Shakira shared. \u201cAnd look, today is our 13th show. Someone pinch me, please, so I know if this is real or not.\u201d According to the artist, around 700,000 people attended the shows at the Shakira Stadium during the entire residency.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe energy remained high throughout the residency, both on stage and among the audience. Purple wigs and chain belts with coins became a recurring sight among attendees, who embraced some of the most iconic images from different stages of Shakira\u2019s career. Near the end of the show, dozens of drones lit up the sky, first forming the shape of a she-wolf and then a giant \u201c12+1,\u201d the chosen way to mark the final night of the residency.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut one last surprise was still in store. Bizarrap took the stage for the grand finale, stepping behind the turntable to perform \u201cShakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53\u201d with the singer, keeping the party alive until the final moments of \u201cThe Last Dance\u201d and bringing nearly a month of Shakira in Madrid to a spectacular close.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
