Shakira is known for her attention to detail when it comes to producing tours and performances. Despite the meticulous planning, sometimes it results in lost money. During a chat with Sean Evans on Hot Ones, Shakira revealed that she ended up losing money during her 2002 Tour of the Mongoose due to a giant cobra background element at the start of her shows. The cobra cost $1 million to produce and was a significant expense to take on the road, ultimately leading to financial losses despite the tour being a huge success.
Shakira’s Tour of the Mongoose was her third-ever tour and was in support of her first English album, Laundry Service. The tour featured hit songs like “Whenever, Wherever,” “The One,” and “Ciega, Sordomuda.” In addition to discussing her love for Family Guy and reaching out to Seth MacFarlane to translate her 2009 song “Loba” into English for the version “She Wolf,” Shakira also mentioned that she was a big fan of Family Guy and even reached out to Seth MacFarlane to translate her 2009 song “Loba” into English for the version “She Wolf.” She praised MacFarlane’s creativity and musical talent but ultimately ended up translating the song herself.
In a recent interview, Shakira shed light on her past tours and collaborations while showcasing her dedication to creating unique and memorable performances for her fans. Her latest album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran features tracks like “Puntería” with Cardi B, “Entre Paréntesis” with Grupo Frontera, and “Cohete” with Rauw Alejandro.
