Shakira Turns Barclays Center Into a Time Machine on Night 2 With Wyclef Jean, Rock-Era Gems & Arena-Sized Sing-Alongs

Billboard · 4 hours ago

Shakira played the second of two sold-out shows at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Tuesday (21 July), just days after her historic performance at the first-ever FIFA World Cup final halftime show. The night's standout moment came when she brought out Wyclef Jean for a rendition of their number-one hit "Hips Don't Lie", delighting the crowd with the reunion of the pair's most famous collaboration.

Beyond the Wyclef cameo, the set leaned heavily on Shakira's rock-influenced early catalogue, with the singer performing in an '80s hair-metal-inspired outfit and playing both electric and acoustic guitar during the show. She drew extensively from her 1998 album "Dónde Están los Ladrones?", including "Ojos Así" and "Ciega, Sordomuda", alongside crowd favourites like "Antología" and newer material such as "Soltera", while the first Brooklyn show the previous night had featured guest appearances from Tyla, Ed Sheeran and Burna Boy.
