Shakira's On-Stage Fall Goes Viral, But Fans Say She 'Handled It Like A Boss'
A recent stop on Shakira's "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran Tour" didn't go quite as planned, but the global superstar proved once again why she's one of the most beloved performers in the business. On Tuesday, May 20, while performing at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Shakira experienced a mid-show mishap. During her performance of the 2001 classic "Whenever, Wherever," fan footage shared to X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, shows the 48-year-old icon lose her balance while swaying on stage and slip sideways onto the ground, just as she was about to start singing the first verse. But in true Shakira fashion, the fall didn't faze her. The "Waka Waka" star quickly stood up and continued performing without missing a beat, drawing praise across social media for her grace and resilience. She even acknowledged the slip herself by reposting the fall in a now-expired Instagram Stories, according to fans who captured it on X. "She handled it like the boss that she is," one fan wrote. Another added, "A great example of resilience! I hope she didn't get injured. Such falls cause pains and injuries the next morning." A third user simply called her "Mother." One more fan noted, "Shakira, the queen of turning falls into unforgettable moments, how great!" This isn't the first hiccup Shakira has faced on her current tour. Back in February, the singer was forced to cancel a show in Peru after being hospitalized for an abdominal issue. She shared the news via Instagram Stories on February 16, explaining that her doctors advised her to cancel her scheduled performance that night at the National Stadium in Lima, the first of two back-to-back shows in the city. Despite the setbacks, Shakira's tour has been an electrifying celebration of her latest album "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran," and her Montreal slip has only endeared her more to fans who admire her ability to power through with confidence and charisma. As expected, one of the most significant moments of the concert is when she belts out her iconic hit, "Hips Don't Lie." "That's a song that is timeless and performed for every single tour and every single performance," she told USA Today ahead of her first show. "It was one of the first songs that had a reggaeton sound back in the day when it was a niche thing to do. I remember having discovered this groove from Puerto Rico and I started playing with it and decided to build a track on that (rhythmic) pattern. I never knew that years later it would have such an impact." Kicking off in Rio de Janeiro on February 11, the North American leg of the tour continues with upcoming stops in cities like Boston, Toronto, Miami, Detroit, Houston, and San Diego. "There are 145 people on this tour to make it happen every night," she said. "I've created original music for the transitions in the show, new choreography and arrangements. I have 13 costume changes, so all of what I've learned these years of making music, I feel like this is a recap of that journey." The singer went on to praise her loyal fans because, without them, none of this would be possible. "It's more than a concert," Shakira said of the impact. "It's not about my ego. It's a community and a union and a dialogue between the audience and an artist that has dedicated her entire life to making music that has been the soundtrack to their lives. I feel this identification that is truly unique. I've never seen more loyal, more militant fans. They protect me against anyone and lift me up when I need them the most." The tour is set to wrap up on June 30 in San Francisco. As Shakira's fans already know, nothing keeps her down for long.
