Artists have schedules that seem impossible to keep, and Shakira’s is no exception. This week, the singer is preparing for a series of concerts in El Salvador at the Jorge “El Mgico” National Stadium, with dates running from February 7 to 15. Between rehearsals, lighting adjustments, and choreography, every detail is measured down to the millimeter, because every movement on stage counts.

A preparation rarely seen

During one of the rehearsals, the public could see something rarely shown: her team practicing for her iconic walk. They walked, timed their steps, and coordinated every movement so that everything would be perfect, a nearly invisible scene that shows the care and attention behind every part of the performance.

The contrast feels even stronger when seen in perspective. On February 2, 2020, Shakira shone in front of millions at the Hard Rock Stadium during Super Bowl LIV.

Now, as the world looks toward Super Bowl LX, taking place Sunday, February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, with the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks facing off on the field, Shakira is living her own major event, built from the closeness of the stage, with every fan as the protagonist.

The parallel is no coincidence. While many wait for the action on the field, Shakira rehearses, fine-tunes, and prepares to ignite her audience’s energy. It’s a reminder that great moments aren’t only experienced in front of a crowd, they’re also forged behind the scenes by those who make every performance possible.
