With 64 sold out shows across North and South America , Shakira has played to more than two million fans.

The star's latest album was inspired by some of the most intense heartbreak and personal upheaval she'd ever experienced.

She performs a Lebanese -inspired belly dance during Ojos Asi ; a tribal knife routine to introduce Whenever , Wherever; thrashes a Flying-V guitar during Objection (Tango ).

Shakira moved to the US as a teenager, hoping to break into the Western pop market.

By that point, she was already a star in Colombia , but she knew international success meant singing in English .

Learning from Leonard Cohen and Walt Whitman helped her get good at it, she says.

"We can't say dates yet, but we're close to announcing. I really want to share this show with my fans from all over the world.".
