Amid mysterious tour setbacks and whispers of love, the Colombian superstar opens up about heartbreak, healing, and a dream for another child. What’s really happening behind Shakira’s glittering comeback?
Shakira has recently addressed the cancellation of two concerts on her “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran” tour, specifically in Boston and Washington, D.C. The Boston show at Fenway Park was called off just hours before it was set to begin due to safety concerns identified during a routine pre-show inspection. These issues prevented the timely transportation of essential stage equipment to Washington, D.C., leading to the cancellation of her performance at Nationals Park, which was also slated to be a significant event for the city’s WorldPride celebrations .
In a heartfelt message shared on her social media, Shakira expressed her sorrow over the cancellations, stating, “Nothing is more painful for an artist than having to cancel sold-out stadium shows, like in Boston and Washington, for reasons beyond one’s control.” She thanked her fans for their unwavering support, adding, “Thank you for being there in the good times and the not-so-good ones. We’ve navigated every bump in the road together, and you’ve always carried me to the other side.” She concluded her message with a sincere “los quiero con todo” (“I love you with all my heart”) .
These recent cancellations are part of a series of disruptions that have affected Shakira’s tour. Earlier in the tour, she had to cancel performances in South America due to safety concerns, including a faulty stage roof in Medellín and an unstable stage floor in Santiago, Chile. Additionally, she was hospitalized with an abdominal condition, leading to the cancellation of a concert in Lima, Peru .
On a personal note, Shakira has been navigating life post-separation from her longtime partner, Gerard Piqué. In interviews, she has spoken about the challenges of single motherhood and how the end of her relationship has influenced her music. She described her latest album as a cathartic experience, stating, “Each one of these songs was like a catharsis.” Shakira has also expressed a sense of liberation, noting that being without a husband has allowed her to focus more on her career
Regarding her personal life, Shakira has been linked to actor Lucien Laviscount after the two collaborated on her music video for “Puntería.” While sources suggest that their relationship is casual, it has been reported that Shakira is feeling “better than ever” following a challenging year .
Despite the setbacks, Shakira continues to receive accolades for her work. She recently won six awards at the 2025 Premio Lo Nuestro, making her the most awarded artist at the event . Her tour is set to continue through November, with performances planned across North and South America.
