Colombian music icon Shakira is always eager to please her audience, but certain situations can push anyone too far. During a recent performance, while showcasing her dance moves on stage, Shakira abruptly ended the show due to inappropriate behavior from an audience member wielding a camera in the front row.
Shakira exits stage during filming
While shooting a music video for her upcoming single, Soltera featuring Anitta, Shakira faced an unsettling incident. She was seen in the footage gesturing towards someone in the crowd and adjusting her outfit for modesty.
Initially, she chose to ignore the offensive behavior and continued her performance. However, upon noticing it again, Shakira made the decision to stop everything and leave the stage, responding to the individual who was reportedly filming up her dress from the front row.
Backlash on social media
The unexpected pause in her performance left some Shakira fans disappointed, yet many on social media recognized her need to take action.
“Some people are disgusting,” commented an X user who shared the clip, which garnered more than 9 million views on the platform.
Several users pointed out a woman in the audience who checked on Shakira, showing solidarity among women facing uncomfortable situations with men.
Despite some negative comments insinuating blame on Shakira for her outfit and dancing, many expressed sympathy, noting that “Shakira can’t even enjoy dancing to her OWN song.”
No matter who is at fault, Shakira’s choice to exit the stage could impact her fans, causing a potential delay in the release of the Soltera music video.
