During her vibrant Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran tour stop in Montreal, Shakira experienced a sudden mishap that left fans both concerned and impressed. The global pop sensation slipped and fell mid-performance on May 20 at the Bell Centre — but what happened next only reaffirmed her star power.
Slipping but Not Slowing Down
While belting out her 2001 hit Whenever, Wherever, the 48-year-old performer was seen energetically dancing across the stage when she suddenly lost her footing and hit the floor. A clip of the incident, now circulating widely on X (formerly Twitter), shows the moment Shakira stumbled during the routine.
True to her seasoned professionalism, she didn’t let the moment shake her. With a quick smile and barely a pause, the Colombian superstar got back on her feet and continued performing as if nothing had happened — drawing cheers from the audience.
Fans Applaud Her Composure
Social media was abuzz after the video surfaced, with fans from around the world praising Shakira’s poise and grace under pressure. One admirer wrote, “Only a queen could fall and still look flawless doing it.” Another chimed in, “She even falls with elegance.”
Many echoed similar sentiments, with comments like, “She handled it like the legend she is,” and “A fall like that would rattle anyone, but she just brushed it off. Iconic.” Others expressed concern for her wellbeing, but were reassured to see her bounce back with confidence.
Previous Health Scare
This isn’t the first recent challenge Shakira has faced. In February, she had to cancel a scheduled show in Lima, Peru, due to a sudden abdominal issue. She informed fans via Instagram: “I am sorry to inform you all that last night I had to go to the ER for an abdominal issue and am currently hospitalized. I am very sad to not be able to take the stage today.”
Despite the setback, Shakira has returned to the spotlight with renewed energy, proving again that neither health hurdles nor stage slips can dim her shine.
From handling wardrobe mishaps to onstage accidents, Shakira continues to remind the world why she remains a beloved and unstoppable force in pop music.
