Shakira's concerts have entered a streak of hindrances. Late last week, Shakira canceled her scheduled appearance at WorldPride in Washington D.C., citing an issue that's occurring in her production that resulted in the cancellation of her Boston show.

“Because of the unforeseen and unfortunate circumstances that affected me and other artists in Boston, my full tour production is not able to be moved to Washington, DC in time for my scheduled performance on Saturday," said Shakira in a statement.
"I have been counting the days, excited to be reunited with my fans in both Washington and Boston", she said. "I promise that I will do everything in my power to be with you as soon I can."

Fans who traveled from different locations to see Shakira perform have shared their thoughts on social media. "Flew in from LA for this. I'm experiencing a second cancellation of this tour," wrote a user. "Rather disappointing."
"I'm heartbroken," wrote a second person. "My mom’s birthday gift was going to be you at DC. Is it’s cancelled. This is so unfair."
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser also shared her thoughts on Shakira's show cancellation, encouraging her to come to the show. “I want to do this for all of us. Shakira, girl, get yourself here!" she said. “You got the rest of the week - get yourself here! We love you, we want to see you, we want to rock with you, party with you!”
