Shakira Slammed For Plugging Her North American Tour After Leaving Concertgoers ‘High And Dry’ With Canceled Tour Dates: ‘Utterly Unfair And Disrespectful’

Shakira has faced quite a bit of controversy these past few years, and is once again causing a stir – this time, for adding new North American dates to her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran world tour, despite not refunding fans for her previous canceled tour dates.
The “Soltera” singer was expected to start the North American leg of her highly-anticipated tour next month. However, she announced last week that she would be canceling the shows and embarking on a bigger tour in stadiums, as opposed to arenas and smaller venues, the following year. And as expected, many of her fans were unhappy with this decision!
On Monday, October 21st, the “She Wolf” hitmaker announced that the tour will now kick off on May 13th, 2025 at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. She will reportedly end her North American tour at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California on June 30th.
“Here are my new 2025 North America dates,” the “El Jefe” singer wrote on Monday. “I’m so excited to share my best show yet with you. Thank you all for supporting and inspiring me to keep pushing myself. I can’t wait to celebrate with you in May!” she added, alongside a red heart emoji.
However, while some fans were excited to see their favorite singer perform a bigger show next year, many others were angry that they hadn’t been refunded for their original tickets. And as many fans complained about the extortionate ticket prices when they went on sale earlier this year, we’re not surprised! Fans were also less than thrilled that they had to wait even longer for the performance, while others were unhappy that she had chosen to perform in stadiums as opposed to more intimate venues.
