After a torrential downpour flooded the singer’s dressing room moments before she was scheduled to perform on stage, Shakira’s Mexican tour was put in jeopardy.
Singing sensation Shakira’s latest tour date was thrown into chaos after a torrential downpour in Mexico. The Waka Waka songstress, 48, saw her show nearly be washed out after her dressing room flooded by torrential rain moments before her concert.
The Colombian received the problem just before she was scheduled to take the stage at the sold-out concert. Due to technical issues brought on by the rainstorm, she also performed on stage nearly three hours late.
However, her army of fans was happy to wait in the pouring rain for their idol to take to the stage. The Hips Don’t Lie’hitmaker was performing two shows at the Corregidora Stadium in Querétaro, Mexico, on 2 and 3 September as part of her ‘Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran’ world tour.

But minutes before her concert on Wednesday, Shakira shared a clip of her flooded dressing room for her 93million Instagram fans, as reported by What’s The Jam.
Shakira wrote, “Look at my dressing room before last night’s concert,” in the post. As water poured from the ceiling into every inch of the room, according to the footage, plastic bags were seen covering each inch of the space.
The singer’s technical team had to make necessary emergency adjustments to ensure the event was secure. And Shakira received a standing ovation from those appreciative of the star for not stumbling during the performance, despite arriving on stage hours later.
In Mexico, her tour is gaining ground. She has already sold more than one million tickets nationwide. Not just her tour to date’s mishap, either. Shakira allegedly fell over on the stage at the Canadian city of Montreal on May 20. No one is safe from falls, she joked later.
And in February, she was forced to cancel a second concert just a week on from pulling the plug on another having been rushed to hospital. She had to postpone her show in Medellin, Colombia, due to safety concerns.
According to the organizers, a roof malfunction at the venue could have been a risk and couldn’t be fixed before the star was set to perform on stage. She shared her destruction of another cancellation a week earlier.
She apologized on social media saying, “I am sorry to inform you all that I was in the hospital last night due to an abdominal issue.” I’m currently receiving medical care, but the doctors have informed me that tonight’s performance won’t be good enough.
I’m very disappointed to be unable to perform today; however, I’ve been anticipating seeing my incredible fans in Peru again. I’m hoping to be released tomorrow so I can perform. A new date to communicate with you is already being developed by my team and the promoters.
I love you all because of your understanding. Shak”.
