Moment Shakira slips and falls on stage - a week after measles scare at concert
Shakira fell on stage during a performing Whenever, Wherever last Tuesday at the Bell Centre in Montreal. The three-time Grammy winner, 48, 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 three-time Grammy winner, last year speaking with The Sunday Times, said that the rumors she learned about ex Gerard Piqué's alleged cheating after discovering an out of place jam jar were 'not true.' The Hips Don't Lie hitmaker and former soccer player, 37, parted ways in June of 2022; they are parents to two sons, Milan, 11, and Sasha, nine. In the wake of his split with the South American singer, whose full name is Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll, Piqué began a romance with Clara Chia Marti. Adding to the speculation about the jam incident was the music video for Colombian singer's single Te Felicito, a collaboration with Rauw Alejandro, in April of 2022. The video included a sequence in which Shakira was seen rummaging in her refrigerator, spurring on speculation about potential hints she was dropping ahead of the end of her relationship with Piqué. The Hips Don't Lie vocalist faced questions about the sequence in a May 2022 appearance on the U.K. television show This Morning. According to a translated transcript of the exchange on ShowNews Today, she said that she peered into the fridge in the clip in an effort 'to find the truth.' The Whenever, Wherever artist added, 'It is when I go to the fridge and find the head of Rauw Alejandro.' According to ShowNews Today, the Spanish TV show Socialite was the first to connect the jam incident, citing an interview with Shakira. Shakira figured out someone else had been in the house, according to the outlet, leading her to suspect Piqué of two-timing her. The jam theory persisted via legions of the singer's fans posting on social media about it. In the chat with The Sunday Times, Shakira also spoke about how she balanced her personal life with her professional life. 'For a long time I put my career on hold, to be next to Gerard, so he could play football,' Shakira said. 'There was a lot of sacrifice for love.' The musical artist is slated to release her next album, the Spanish language record Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran (Women No Longer Cry), via Sony Latin Friday. She said that she channeled her strong emotions about her personal life into the album, as she focused on transforming her 'pain into creativity, frustration into productivity, anger into passion, vulnerability into resilience.' She added, 'There were so many pieces of my life that crumbled in front of my eyes and I had to rebuild myself in a way, picking up the bones from the floor and putting them all together. And the glue that kept it all together was music.'

Shakira dazzles at Little Caesars Arena as world tour brings reenergized star to Detroit
Shakira landed in Detroit and promptly dropped a vigorous, vivacious, sparkling eruption of energy onto Little Caesars Arena. Thursday night at the sold-out downtown venue, the Colombian superstar wowed in a hardworking, two-hour-plus set that took fans on a global journey of sounds and dance numbers while revisiting three decades of music. It was a night of elaborate, eyepopping stagecraft, ever-changing wardrobe and fanciful set pieces, with Shakira a dynamic presence at the center of it all. With lithe and curvy moves to lead the show's tight choreography — the hips do still tell the truth — the 48-year-old seemed emboldened and recharged. As the latest stop on her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, this was the third Detroit show of her career and first in seven years, playing off themes of vulnerability, strength and perseverance. After a 2024 tour reboot — Shakira was originally scheduled here in December — LCA was a rare arena date on a tour that has been playing massive fútbol and football stadiums, thus offering a relatively intimate experience for Detroit fans. (An official attendance count was not released, but the full-capacity crowd appeared to number about 13,000.) And so a gargantuan production got crammed into the Detroit venue, with a formidable catwalk and massive backdrop that unfolded into crisp video cubes. There were robots come to life ('Te Felicito'), theatrical pieces ('Ojos Así'), a giant blow-up wolf with laser-beam eyes ('She Wolf'), a lavish, sprawling gown ('Ultima'). Fans came primed for the party, many sporting light-up headbands fashioned with wolf ears, and their mood was festive well before Shakira took the stage, entertaining themselves with arena-wide waves and swaying with cell-phone lights. 'There's no better feeling than when a she-wolf is back with her pack,' Shakira told the LCA crowd early in the show. Shakira's catalog is culturally diverse and sonically eclectic, and it was well represented Thursday night in a 23-song set that showcased music from her 2024 album, 'Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran' ('Women No Longer Cry'), alongside more time-tested material. A dance-heavy opening stretch gave way to the first of several romps through the pop-rock side of her career, as she manned electric guitars on numbers such as 'Inevitable' and 'Don't Bother.' Her Latin roots rang true elsewhere in the show — the lively 'Chantaje,' 'Monotonía' and 'Objection (Tango)' — while her World Cup anthem 'Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)' provided an exuberant, multicolored finale to the main set. Shakira addressed Thursday's crowd mostly in English, though she did offer one Spanish soliloquy midway through, championing female empowerment in the face of societal cynicism about aging. She was backed by a vast supporting cast of musicians and dancers who came and went throughout the night, occasionally leading to big ensemble numbers such as the pairing of 'Addicted to You' and 'Loca' and the bounding bit of old-school power-pop 'Pies Descalzos, Sueños Blancos.' While those blockbuster segments were the easy highlights — including the sultry rocker 'Poem to a Horse' — the lower-key moments had their charms, too: When Shakira reached way back for a rendition of 1997's stripped-back 'Antologia,' gathered in a tight circle with her core band members at the head of the runway, she had the entirety of Little Caesars Arena in her thrall. Shakira's tour will pick back up Saturday with a lakeside show at Chicago's Grant Park, winding across North America before wrapping up with dates later this summer in Mexico and South America.
