Pop sensation Shakira abruptly left the stage mid-performance last night at LIV Miami after a fan allegedly tried to film up her mini dress.
When the atmosphere changed dramatically, the 47-year-old Colombian singer was performing her new single, ‘Soltera’.

In footage from the event, Shakira can be seen pulling down her dress and signalling to a fan in the crowd to stop the inappropriate behaviour.
Visibly frustrated, she motioned to her eye, indicating that she was aware of what was happening, before turning and walking off the stage into the VIP section.
Fans watching the incident unfold online expressed outrage at the fan’s behaviour. Comments on social media platform X criticised the disrespect shown to the artist.
“Respect isn’t optional, folks!” one person posted. Others echoed similar sentiments, highlighting that artists should feel safe while performing.
Shakira, who has sold over 100 million records worldwide, is best known for hits like ‘Whenever, Wherever’, ‘Hips Don’t Lie’, and ‘She Wolf’.
Her life, including her 11-year relationship with former Barcelona footballer Gerard Piqué, has often been in the spotlight.
Earlier this year, Shakira opened up about how her relationship with Piqué hampered her music career. During an appearance on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’, she stated, “Now I’m husbandless… I can actually work.”
Her latest album includes references to her breakup, notably in the song ‘Ultima’, which she described as her final piece addressing the end of their relationship.
Shakira and Piqué share two children, Milan, 11, and Sasha, 9. Piqué, 37, is now dating 25-year-old Clara Chia Marti.
