Shakira's reaction
The situation unfolded when Shakira, midway through her set, observed an individual entering the stage area from the audience. Concerned for her safety and the safety of her crew, the singer decided to leave the stage briefly. The unexpected interruption caused a momentary pause in the performance, leaving fans confused and concerned.
Fellow Latin singer Anitta was also at the event at the DJ's stand. As Shakira came down from the stage, Anitta could be seen asking her if she was doing okay.
While it's unclear exactly what happened, it was certainly best for the singer to leave the stage. The height of the platform on which she was standing, coupled with her short dress, was a recipe for disaster.
Security quickly intervened, escorting the intruder away and ensuring that the area was secure. After a brief hiatus, Shakira returned to the stage to continue her performance, reassuring the audience that everything was under control. Despite the disruption, the singer managed to complete the show, and her fans showed their support and appreciation for her professionalism.
A clip of the video shared on X (formerly Twitter) has already gotten over 16.3 million views and almost 100,000 likes.
Several fans responded to the post, showing support for the singer and condemning the people at the event for making Shakira feel "uncomfortable."
A person wrote, "That's just beyond gross. Shakira had every right to walk off, no one should have to deal with that kind of disrespect, especially when she's just out there performing her music. People need to learn how to act with basic decency!"
Another said, "It's wild how some guys can single-handedly turn a great experience into a total cringe-fest with their creepy vibes."
However, several online have explained that no one, in particular, was intentionally filming up the singer's dress and that being on the elevated stage with the outfit she had on was the issue.
Someone noted, "What are you talking about? There were just a whole bunch of people filming her. Maybe she realized they were below her so... Doesn't mean they were actually trying to film under her dress." Another wrote, "They're just recording her performing. They will do the exact same thing if she were wearing a space suit. It's not their fault she wore that to dance on an elevated stage."
In the aftermath of the incident, Shakira expressed her gratitude to her fans for their understanding and patience. She took to social media to address the situation, emphasizing the importance of safety and security at her events.
The concert concluded successfully, with Shakira delivering a memorable performance that highlighted her resilience and dedication to her craft. The incident served as a reminder of the unpredictability of live performances and the need for vigilant security measures.
