Shakira cancels third concert in three days after making history with record-breaking tour
Shakira 's latest cancelled concert was supposed to take place in Washington, DC at Nationals Park on Saturday night.
The 48-year-old Colombian singer — whose Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour just broke a record — intended to perform as part of WorldPride's welcome event, but the ballpark announced on Friday that she is no longer on the bill.
It comes after the Whenever, Wherever hitmaker had to cancel two back-to-back shows scheduled for Thursday and Friday at Boston's Fenway Park.
The cancellations were due to city inspectors identifying 'structural elements that were not up to standard,' according to TMZ.
Around 5pm EST on Friday, Nationals Park posted a statement online reading, 'Due to complications with the previous show in Boston, Shakira's full tour production cannot be transported to Washington, D.C. in time for her scheduled performance at Nationals Park on Saturday, May 31.'
WorldPride is the largest LGBTQ+ festival in the world and will kick off June's internationally recognized Pride Month.
Per TMZ, Shakira responded by saying, 'I have been counting the days, excited to be reunited with my fans in both Washington and Boston, and my team and I have made every effort to make it happen, but it doesn't depend on any one of us right now, and I am devastated that these shows were just not possible this time.
'I promise that I will do everything in my power to be with you as soon as I can.'
The ballpark's message to ticketholders continued, 'Refunds will be issued automatically for Ticketmaster and Nationals.com purchases — no further action is required.'
Shakira had previously used her X profile to get fans excited about her shows in Boston.
On Wednesday she shared two photos with Will.I.Am and Wycleff, writing, 'Boston I'm coming! Will.I.Am and Wycleff tomorrow! I can't ask for more!! And can't wait to be on stage with all of you!'
Despite the string of misfortunate, the pop star can celebrate her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour becoming the highest grossing Latin American concert by a female artist, surpassing Karol G's Mañana Será Bonito tour.
Her Mexican and South American shows have grossed a staggering $130 million with 21 shows.
It comes as the singer's Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour tops the Billboard Boxscore midyear chart for a Latin female artist, grossing $130 million so far

As reported by Billboard, Shakira's is the only Latin tour to reach Top 10 of the 2025 midyear Boxscore Report, ranking number two globally.
It falls behind Coldplay, who earned $142 million with 1.3 million people turning up for 20 shows between October 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025.
Shakira fell on stage during a performance of her 2001 hit Whenever, Wherever last week at the Bell Centre in Montreal.
The three-time Grammy winner was in the middle of performing the high-energy track when she slipped and hit the ground.
A fan posted a clip of the fall on Instagram, which showed the entertainer losing her balance sideways and hitting the ground.
Ever the consummate professional, she gathered herself and continued with her performance.

Iconic Breakfast at Tiffany's brownstone hits market at $15 million
Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany once said: 'I don't want to own anything until I find a place where me and things go together' - and this might be the place for fans of the iconic 1961 film to do just that. If you want a slice of Hollywood history, this could be your chance, as the gorgeous Upper East Side brownstone made famous in Breakfast at Tiffany's is now up for sale. The turn-of-the-century townhouse, which was used as the façade for Audrey Hepburn's socialite character, Holly, has hit the market at $15 million. Though the interior scenes of the apartment were filmed on a studio lot, the home is still regarded as one of New York City 's most famous movie homes. The townhouse, located at 169 East 71st Street, is a landmarked, five-story residence and even has a sweet nod to the movie that made it famous featuring a Tiffany-blue door. The brownstone is also mere steps away from Tiffany's flagship Fifth Avenue store. As per the listing, the 4,465-square-foot five-story home features an elevator, fully built-out basement, and recently underwent an extensive three-year renovation - restoring the home with 'no expense spared.' The abode also has a 30-foot landscaped garden with custom latticework, two setback terraces, four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and three powder rooms, making it as iconic as the film. It could event function as a multi-family home, with a separate entrance in the garden for a second residence, featuring a den, a large bedroom, and an open kitchen. The home, which was built in 1910, features 10-foot ceilings and original architectural details, with the listing boasting that it 'blends seamlessly with refined upgrades.' There's no reason to even leave the house for a night out, with a bar area in the basement level featuring stone walls and a wine cellar with two Liebherr wine fridges. As per the listing, t he home was previously sold for $1.8 million in 2000 and for $5.9 million in 2012. TODAY also reported that the home was sold in 2015 for $7.4 million. In 2021, the entire townhouse was available for rent through the luxury rental site Inspirato, as per Town & Country. According to Inspirato's website, they are 'leaders' in luxury travel, offering exclusive access to a curated portfolio of luxury vacation homes, five-star hotel and resort partners, immersive adventures, and personalized trip planning. They publication reported that Inspirato Pass holders could rent the home for a $2,500 flat monthly fee. Inspirato Club members were reportedly required to pay a nightly fee, which was in addition to their typical $600-a-month subscription to the luxury rental site. However, the pricey stay did include concierge services as well as a 'stocked fridge.'

Trump shares baseless conspiracy that Joe Biden died and was replaced by a clone
President Donald Trump has shared a baseless conspiracy theory that former President Joe Biden died and was replaced by a robotic clone. Late Saturday night, Trump, 78, shared a Truth Social post claiming his former political opponent, Biden, 82, was killed in 2020 and replaced by a clone – unbeknownst to Democrats. 'There is no #JoeBiden–executed in 2020,' the post reads. The post goes on to claim that the real Biden was replaced by 'clones doubles & robotic engineered soulless mindless entities' and that 'Democrats don't know the difference.' Trump's supporters were quick to get behind his message, some sharing side-by-side memes of Biden claiming 'these are not the same people,' and others egging on Trump for 'trolling.' Some commentators pointed to Biden's earlobes, claiming that before 2020, they appeared to be unattached to his head, whereas now they are. Another even insisted that the government televised giving Biden a 'funeral cannon salute at Arlington' on his Inauguration Day. Detractors of the president, meanwhile, branded his sharing of the post 'concerning.' Trump's wife, Melania, has also been the subject of similar conspiracy theories, with some claiming a body double replaced her during his first term. The White House at the time dismissed the theories as a 'non-story.' Trump has seemingly been digging into conspiracy theories all weekend, including on Friday when he claimed CBS 'deleted' his 2015 interview with Stephen Colbert. Trump reposted a Facebook video on his Truth Social account containing heavily edited clips of his September 2015 interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. A message next to the video states: 'You are not supposed to see this video. CBS DELETED this entire episode from their official website. You will not find these segments on YouTube either.' However, a quick search on YouTube revealed otherwise. Clips from the Trump-Colbert interview are still available to be watched on the official Late Show account. One video has 17 million views.

American tennis superstar breaks 22-year-old Andre Agassi record to make history with insane French Open win
Tommy Paul made history on Sunday, becoming the first American man in the French Open quarterfinals since Andre Agassi in 2003. The 28-year-old beat 25th-seeded Alexei Popyrin of Australia 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 in less than two hours to smash the record Agassi has held for the last 22 years. Paul, who is himself seeded 12th at Roland-Garros, was coming off consecutive five-set victories but breezed to this win, helped by saving 9 of 10 break points he faced while converting all but one of the six he accumulated. Both Paul and Popyrin won junior singles titles on the red clay in Paris, with the American's coming a decade ago. Paul, who was a semifinalist at the Australian Open in 2023 on hard courts and a quarterfinalist at Wimbledon last year on grass courts, is now the only active U.S. man to reach the final eight at Grand Slam tournaments on three surfaces. There haven't been multiple U.S. men in the French Open quarterfinals since 1996, when Jim Courier and Pete Sampras both made it that far. Agassi was the last from the country in the men's semifinals at the French Open when he won the championship in 1999 to complete a career Grand Slam. Ben Shelton and Frances Tiafoe are also both still in the men's singles competition, though the former faces a very tough test against No 2 seed Carlos Alcaraz later on Sunday. Tiafoe, meanwhile, faces unseeded German Daniel Altmaier for his chance to join Paul in the quarterfinals, with the US giving themselves a strong chance of having some representation in the semifinals. Five American women reached the fourth round this year, with No. 16 Amanda Anisimova taking on No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka on Sunday. Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, Madison Keys and Hailey Baptiste are scheduled to play for quarterfinal berths on Monday, with Gauff seeded No 2 and Pegula No 3.
