Pop sensation Shakira recently faced a distressing incident during her performance at LIV Miami, which led her to leave the stage abruptly. The singer, known for her global hits like "Waka Waka," was performing her latest single, Soltera, when a few concert-goers crossed a line by attempting to film up her dress.
Shakira Leaves Stage After Fans Film Up Her Dress
As seen in photos and videos circulating on social media, the Colombian star became visibly upset upon realizing that some people in the crowd were behaving inappropriately. Shakira initially issued a warning, asking the group to stop filming. Despite her repeated attempts to protect her privacy by adjusting her dress, the individuals continued their actions, leaving her no choice but to storm off the stage. A video capturing the moment Shakira lost her composure has since gone viral, sparking outrage online.
Fans and social media users swiftly condemned the disrespectful behaviour. Many expressed their support for Shakira and criticized the crowd's lack of decency. "That’s truly disappointing behaviour. Artists deserve respect and privacy, both on and off stage. It’s crucial to ensure a safe environment for everyone," one post read. Another user called for action, stating, "Whoever was filming should be arrested for sexual assault."
Others emphasized that Shakira had every right to leave the stage, given their inappropriate behaviour. "That’s just beyond gross. No one should have to deal with that kind of disrespect, especially when she’s just out there performing her music," a third user commented.
Shakira, a global icon known for her empowering songs and electrifying performances, recently released her 12th studio album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran (Women Don't Cry Anymore) in March, marking her first album in seven years. In 2022, she and former Spanish footballer Gerard Piqué announced their separation after 11 years of being together. Following their split, Shakira moved to the U.S. with her two sons.
The incident at her Miami performance serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting artists' boundaries, both on stage and in their personal lives. Fans continue to show their support for Shakira, calling for accountability and condemning those responsible for the violation of her privacy.
