Celebrating her latest album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran‘s release, the She Wolf ‘devoured’ her free pop-up show in New York City‘s Times Square on Tuesday night. Shakira’s first studio work in seven years dropped on Friday, and she’s done putting her career on hold “for love.” Not only was the event free to watch for the people in attendance in the Big Apple, but it was even live-streamed for international fans. The ‘surprise’ pop-up concert made for a dazzling display on the TSX Entertainment billboard.
Opening the show at the TSX Stage with her mega-hit Hips Don’t Lie, the Colombian pop star got the audience singing along and grooving to one of the best-selling singles of all time.
