Shakira has revealed she is ‘currently hospitalized’ after suffering abdominal issues on Saturday night.
The Hips Don’t Lie songstress, 48, announced she was taken to the ER last night in a statement posted to her Instagram Stories.
Shakira has also revealed she is now cancelling her show in Lima, Peru today after doctor’s determined she was not well enough to hit the stage.
‘I am sorry to inform you all that last night I had to go to the ER for an abdominal issue and am currently hospitalized,’ she began in her statement.
‘The doctors whose care I am currently under have communicated that I am not in good enough condition to perform this evening.’
‘I am very sad to not be able to take the stage today. I’ve been looking forward to reuniting with my incredible fans here in Peru.’

‘I hope to be released and well tomorrow so I’m able to perform,’ she continued in the statement.
‘My team and the promoters are already working on a new date to communicate to you.’
‘Thank you all for your understanding. I love you all,’ she wrote, signing off with ‘Shak.’
The singer is currently in the midst of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour – which officially kicked off this week on Tuesday in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The tour is her first in seven years and is named after her 12th studio album which dropped last year in March 2024.
Shakira’s next concert is set for February 20 in Columbia, and she will make stops in other countries such as Chile, Argentina, Mexico, Canada and the United States.
The final date in the star’s world tour is set for late this year on June 30 in San Francisco.
Earlier this month, the performer made an appearance at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles and Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran notably garnered a win for Best Latin Pop Album.

Upon taking to the stage to accept the award, the star shared a political message in her speech.
‘I want to dedicate this award to all my immigrant brothers and sisters in this country. You are loved. You are worth it. I will always fight with you.’
Shakira then referenced to her hit 2009 track She Wolf by adding, ‘To all of those women who worked really hard every day to provide for their families, you are the true She Wolves. So this is for you too.’
The beauty also gave a sweet shout out to her sons and gushed, ‘They are here with me.’
‘I’m so proud of you guys, of your kind hearts. Thank you so much for supporting me the way you do. I love you. Thank you.’
During an interview with AP News last year in March, the Hips Don’t Lie hitmaker opened up about her 12th studio LP.
Shakira explained, ‘It’s an album that gathers many different life experiences, that gathers the transformation of vulnerability into resilience, the empowerment of finding your strength.’

‘It doesn’t only talk about pain; it also talks about triumph,’ the award-winning singer further expressed.
‘And that’s why these tears are not tears made of resentment anger or just sadness, but tears of triumph and tears of self-recognition and finding confidence within.’
She added, ‘It’s not linear. There’s ups and downs and valleys and peaks. And this album is made of all of those dynamics.’
The star also stated that ‘there is a great variety within this album. There’s pop, there’s Afrobeat, there’s reggaeton. There’s some Mexican regionals as well. Rock. But there is a common thread.’
‘And that is based off of genuine, authentic life experiences and the process of elaborating those intense emotions and feelings that I’ve been having to deal with during this past couple of years.’
Earlier this week, Shakira was also accused of copying Beyonce for her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour.
After the concerts began on Tuesday, social media users were quick to point out some similarities to Shakira’s concert and Beyonce’s record-breaking Renaissance Tour in 2023.
Fans were divided as they shared their thoughts on X after one uploaded side-by-side comparisons of the stage set up from each of the tours.

‘Girl she took more than notes. She took the whole set up,’ another wrote, as one added, ‘even the dancers’
‘Shakira went to the RENAISSANCE world tour and took notes,’ followed by a crying face emoji. ‘THE INSPIRATION BEYONCE IS.’
‘Girl she took more than notes. She took the whole set up,’ another wrote, as one added, ‘even the dancers.’
‘She really said copy & paste,’ an X user wrote, and one penned, ‘this is so sad and pathetic i need a copyright lawsuit now.’
‘Notes? She stole it. If this was Beyonce -,’ another shared, and a fan also referenced to a past quote from Shakira’s interview with Billboard in 2023.
Her appearance at Beyonce’s Renaissance Tour had been brought up and the She Wolf songstress said: ‘I was working! I definitely can’t tour with as many trucks as Beyonce, but I was taking notes.’
‘IM CRYING IT’S ALMOST THE SAME EXACT FONT AND EVERYTHING??? WELCOME BACK RENAISSANCE TOUR,’ one typed out.
‘Shakira went to RENAISSANCE and left with a PhD in Beyonceology. True queen behavior,’ a fan penned, with others also defending the Columbian-born songstress.
One wrote, ‘I would have gorged on renny tour nachos too literally the production of our times!!!’ and another shared, ‘She’s allowed lol.’

Some fans also compared Shakira’s costumes on her latest tour to those that Beyonce also wore – including silver metallic looks.
Also during her opening concert, the singer brought out a large wolf onto the stage – similar to the horse prop from Beyonce’s Renaissance concerts.
Both Shakira and Beyonce have been close friends and collaborators for years, and worked on tracks such as the 2006 song Beautiful Liar.
