Shakira's US Tour Woes: More Troubles in DC and Boston, Plus Cancellations in Latin America
Shakira's anxiety persists during her U.S. concert run - Shakira's Ongoing U.S. Tour Showcases a Sequence of Performances
Got some bad news for Shakira fans, especially those in the US! The pop sensation has been facing a string of setbacks on her latest tour, including scrapping shows in both the States and Latin America.
The latest victims are Washington, D.C. and Boston. Nationals Park, the stadium where her performance was scheduled to take place today, announced: "Our apologies, Washingtonians! Due to complications from Shakira's previous show in Boston, her entire tour production can't make it on time for her performance here."
It's been a rough ride for the Colombian superstar, known for hits like "Hips Don't Lie" and "Waka Waka." She had already axed her concerts in Boston for May 26 and 27 due to unforeseen circumstances, and now these cancellations are piling up. Since mid-February, she's been touring with her album "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" (Women Don't Cry Anymore) across South and North America.
The Boston concerts' cancellation was due to structural issues discovered during pre-show checks. Specifically, a routine inspection unveiled that some parts of the stage were below standard, forcing the cancellations[3][4].
Shakira's gig in Washington, D.C., which was part of the World Pride 2025 festivities, also hit a roadblock due to complications from the Boston show, rendering it impossible to transport her tour production on time[2][4].
While specific details about Latin American tour cancellations aren't available, it appears that these regions have also felt the brunt of Shakira's tour woes. Apparently, logistical and technical issues were involved in some canceled shows.
Despite the setbacks, Shakira recently received a well-deserved honor at the American Music Awards (AMAs) for "Favorite Latin Song" with her track "Soltera" ("Single"). This win marked the sixth time she won an AMA in the Latin category, making her the most awarded Latin artist in the award's history[1].

"I'm not going to be able to do this" applies to Shakira's tour, as she has been facing a string of canceled shows, especially in the US and Latin America.
The cancellation of Shakira's music performances, including those in Washington D.C. and Boston, have been due to various reasons such as complications from previous shows and structural issues with the stages.
