Shakira concluded her historic Madrid residency on October 12 with a final concert at Macondo Park featuring guests Maluma, Laura Pausini, Beéle, Dani Martín, Bizarrap, and the Ghetto Kids. The 13-show run, originally planned for eight dates, drew over 700,000 attendees according to Billboard.

Maluma appeared for a second consecutive night to perform their 2016 hit "Chantaje" and the live debut of their new merengue-infused collaboration "Agua," released September 17. Shakira joked they should form a duo called "Shaluma" given their four joint songs.

“This residency has been historic for me... You've made me feel like I'm just starting my career and I'll never forget that.”

The finale coincided with Spain's National Day (Día de la Hispanidad) and included Carnival of Barranquilla dancers and a drone display. Shakira paused the show to thank fans, calling the residency one of the most important projects of her career.

She revealed she had faced personal difficulties during the run, including her father's health issues, but said the audience gave her strength to perform nightly "with total joy and a full heart." The Amazon Music livestream of the residency set a new platform record.
