Shakira’s legal fight with Spanish authorities appears to have taken a surprising turn after reports of a multimillion-pound refund

The latest ruling comes as Shakira is set to wrap up her Women Don’t Cry Anymore world tour with a residency in Madrid from September.

She will also perform alongside Madonna and BTS during the half-time show at this summer’s Fifa Men’s World Cup final, it was announced last week.

Earlier this month, two million people attended a free Shakira concert on the Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro.
