Shakira surprised her fans with the cancellation of her concert in Washington, scheduled for May 31 as part of the women women no longer cry. Production could not move from Boston in time due to “unforeseen circumstances.” The singer expressed her regret in a statement, thanking the support of her followers and promising to return to the US capital soon.
The cancellation did not go unnoticed, and the mayor of Washington, Muriel Bowser, sent a public message to the artist: “Shakira, come here. You have the rest of the week to come. We love you and we want to work and celebrate with you.” The event was planned as the LGBTIQ+ world pride opening show in Washington, generating great expectation among the attendees.
The organizers announced automatic refunds for those who acquired tickets through Ticketmaster and the Nationals, while external purchases must be managed with the corresponding distributors. This setback adds to the previous difficulties of the tour in the United States, where Shakira had already canceled presentations in Boston on May 29 and 30.
