Shakira fell on stage during a performing Whenever, Wherever last week at the Bell Centre in Montreal - coming weeks after concerns of a Measles outbreak at a concert she performed in New Jersey earlier this month.
The three-time Grammy winner was in the middle of performing the high-energy track - a top 10 hit on Billboard 's charts in late 2001 - when she slipped and hit the ground.
A fan posted a clip of the fall on Instagram Stories, depicting the South American singer, whose full name is Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll, losing her balance sideways and hitting the ground.
The Hips Don't Lie hitmaker - who has been on the road on her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran Tour - dusted herself off and continued with her performance.
One user said on X that Shakira 'handled it like the boss that she is,' while another called the entertainer's refusal to let the slip derail the show 'a great example of resilience!
The commenter added, "Hope she didn't get injured. Such falls cause pains and injuries the next morning.'
The slip was one in a number of complications Shakira and her team have faced on the road this time around.
The May 15 show at MetLife Stadium led the New Jersey Department of Health to publicly state that those who attended 'could develop symptoms [of measles] as late as June 6'.

Authorities in the Garden State said that anyone who was present at the venue - which hosts the NFL's New York Giants and New York Jets - between the evening May 15 into early on May 16 could have been exposed to the airborne virus.
Health officials said that a person who was infected with measles was present at the show for the superstar songstress, who has past worked on collaborations with Rihanna, Beyonce and the Black Eyed Peas.
Shakira has also dealt with an 'abdominal issue' that led her to cancel a February 16 show at Peru's National Stadium after visiting a hospital over it the prior day.
'I am sorry to inform you all that last night I had to go to the ER for an abdominal issue and am currently hospitalized,' the Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) artist said via Instagram Stories.
The Underneath Your Clothes artist - who is mother to sons, Milan, 12, and Sasha, 10 with ex Gerard Piqué, 38, is due to visit the U.S. capital for a show on May 31 at Nationals Park.
That will be followed by concerts in large cities such as Atlanta, Orlando, Miami, San Antonio and Houston, among other destinations.

'I promise that I will do everything in my power to be with you as soon as I can.'

Shakira performance for World Pride opening concert abruptly cancelled due to technical issues
One day before the kickoff concert for World Pride 2025 in the nation's capital, headlining performer Shakira has abruptly cancelled due to equipment difficulties. 'We are deeply disappointed that unforeseen circumstances have forced the cancellation' of the concert, the Capital Pride Alliance, the main World Pride organizer, said in a Friday statement. 'Updates about the relocated Opening Ceremony program will be released as soon as they are finalized!' The multi-platinum singer had been scheduled to headline the opening celebrations Saturday night at Nationals Park. The reasons are apparently an extension of equipment issues related to her Thursday night concert in Boston's Fenway Park, which was also cancelled hours before it was set to begin. A Friday night concert at Fenway for country star Jason Aldean was also cancelled. '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,' the Capital Pride Alliance statement said. 'Despite every effort to make it happen, it is not possible to move forward as planned.' The Alliance noted that the full slate of citywide events was still on for opening weekend, and said the kickoff ceremony would be relocated and reorganized. The cancellation presents a further challenge for the Alliance, but at least a non-political one. Organizers have already said they expected international attendance to measurably suffer as a result of concern and anger in the LGBTQ+ community over President Donald Trump 's policies. Trump's public antipathy for trans protections and drag shows has already prompted two international LGBTQ+ organizations, Eagle Canada and the African Human Rights Coalition, to issue warnings against traveling to the U.S. at all. The primary concern is that trans or non-binary individuals would face trouble entering the country if passport control officers enforce the administration's strict binary view of gender status. Some potential international participants have already announced plans to skip this year's events, either out of fear of harassment or as a boycott against Trump's policies. But others have called for a domestic mobilization to flood the capital. Capital Pride Alliance Executive Director Ryan Bos said that security fencing would be installed surrounding the final two-day concert and rally on a multi-block stretch of Pennsylvania Avenue. Early hotel reservation numbers for the final World Pride weekend, June 6-8, were originally down from the previous year, according to Destination D.C., which tracks reservations. But Destination D.C. President Elliott Ferguson told reporters on Thursday that, 'what we're seeing now is a surge at the last minute, especially with the national community.' Ferguson speculated that concerns about international attendance had 'galvanized the local community, the national community to want to come to the city.'
