**Shakira’s WorldPride Concert in DC Canceled Amid Production Woes**
Colombian pop star Shakira’s concert in Washington DC has been canceled due to production issues following a prior show’s complications.
Shakira has announced the cancellation of her much-anticipated concert in Washington DC, originally scheduled for Saturday as part of WorldPride festivities. This decision follows complications with the stage production that led to a previous cancellation in Boston, which also saw her performance at Fenway Park scrapped shortly before the scheduled start time on May 29. The venue, Nationals Park, confirmed that the logistical challenges stemming from the Boston show meant Shakira's complete tour setup could not reach DC in time.
Expressing her deep disappointment, the iconic “Wherever, Whenever” singer stated, “I am devastated that the shows were just not possible this time.” She added that she was eagerly looking forward to connecting with her fans in both Boston and Washington and promised to reschedule at the earliest opportunity.
Nationals Park explained the cancellation, citing efforts that were made to facilitate the concert, but ultimately stated it was infeasible. Ticketholders will automatically receive refunds, addressing logistical concerns for fans affected by the disappointing news.
The earlier Boston performance was canceled due to safety concerns around the stage structure, identified during a routine pre-show inspection. Both artists—Shakira and fellow musicians Jason Aldean and Brooks & Dunn—were included in the cancellations that followed.
Fans took to social media to express their frustration, sharing sentiments of disappointment. A user noted they flew in from Los Angeles specifically to attend the show, while others offered words of support for Shakira, emphasizing her undeserving plight in this unfortunate scenario.
Shakira's ongoing "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" tour supports her 12th studio album, with her next performance slated for Atlanta on June 2. Despite these setbacks, her dedication to returning to the stage remains strong.
