Shakira Cancels Multiple US Concerts Over Production Issues

Shakira has canceled her Washington, D.C. concert at Nationals Park, part of the WorldPride festival, due to complications arising from her previous shows in Boston, which were also canceled over safety concerns related to stage structural issues. The cancellations have been a significant disappointment to fans who traveled specifically for the events, with Nationals Park assuring full ticket refunds. The Boston shows were aborted after a routine safety inspection found that elements of the stage did not meet code standards, a problem that prevented the timely transport of the full tour production to Washington, D.C. Shakira expressed her devastation over the cancellations, promising to reunite with fans as soon as possible. These incidents have raised questions about safety protocols at large-scale concerts and the importance of ensuring audience security. The cancellations come amid Shakira's Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour, supporting her first studio album in seven years.
