In September 2024, during a performance at Miami’s LIV nightclub, Shakira abruptly left the stage after noticing a fan attempting to film up her skirt. While dancing to her new single “Soltera,” she observed the inappropriate behavior, adjusted her dress, signaled for the individual to stop, and then exited the stage.
Fans widely supported her reaction, condemning the disrespectful behavior and emphasizing the need for decency and respect towards performers.
This incident occurred shortly after Shakira’s move from Barcelona to Miami with her children, Sasha and Milan, following her separation from long-time partner Gerard Piqué.
Despite this unsettling event, Shakira continued her musical endeavors, releasing “Soltera” later that month and embarking on the “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour,” which commenced in Rio de Janeiro in February 2025.
Recently, during the Colombian leg of her tour, fellow Colombian artist Karol G expressed admiration for Shakira, highlighting her influence in Latin music and their shared heritage.
