She added that she was “very sad” that she couldn’t perform, sharing that she hoped to be well enough to perform Monday night’s show in the city. Shakira assured fans that her team was working to figure out a new date for the canceled show.
On Monday, she shared another message on Instagram, telling her fans, “Thank you all for your loving messages. You give me so much strength!! I love you with all my heart.”

The Singer Is Currently on a World Tour
Shakira’s Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour kicked off on February 11 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The singer has concerts lined up into June of this year, in cities around North and South America. After Peru, Shakira is scheduled to perform in her home country of Colombia.
The tour follows Shakira’s recent Grammy win for Best Latin Pop Album, for her 2024 project Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran (which translates to Women No Longer Cry). This was her 12th studio album, the first in seven years following 2017’s El Dorado.
The album, which was inspired by Shakira’s breakup from her longtime partner Gerard Piqué, features the songs “Te Felicito,” “TQG,” and “Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53.”
