Colombian superstar Shakira, aged 48, is captivating global audiences with her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, which began in February 2025. Marking her return to the stage after a hiatus, the tour promotes her latest album, blending pop, rock, and Latin rhythms with electrifying performances and intricate choreography. Despite technical issues and cancellations, Shakira’s resilience shone through during a viral moment at her May 20, 2025, concert in Montreal, Canada.
While performing her hit “Whenever, Wherever” in Montreal, Shakira slipped during a circular walk, falling sideways in a moment captured on video and widely shared on social media. Far from faltering, she rolled, rose with a smile, and playfully stuck out her tongue, seamlessly continuing the performance.

Fans praised her professionalism, with comments on social media calling it “a fall with glamour” and speculating it might have been choreographed, given her history of dynamic stage moves. Shakira has not commented on the incident, but her quick recovery underscored her experience and improvisational skill.
The Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour has drawn massive crowds across North and South America, earning critical acclaim for Shakira’s energy and stage presence. However, the tour faced setbacks, including stage safety issues in Medellín and Santiago, leading to cancellations, and a hospitalisation in Lima that prompted a rescheduled show. Despite these obstacles, Shakira remains committed to delivering high-quality performances, with upcoming shows in Mexico, Peru, and the Dominican Republic and plans for a European leg in 2025.
