‘People fainting, but Shakira doesn't care': Fans mad after San Antonio show postponed last minute
Shakira fans were left furious after her Friday night concert at the Alamodome in San Antonio was postponed at the last minute due to reported structural issues.
Before the postponement was announced, many concertgoers shared images and videos of long lines outside the stadium under blistering heat. Fans reported being held outside for hours without being allowed to enter.
'One hour in line with temperatures over 32 Celsius (90 Fahrenheit), people fainting and @Alamodome and @shakira doesn't care at all about the fans,' one attendee tweeted.
Another added, 'Worst concert experience ever #shakira. So this crowd has been waiting over an hour and a half. But the #alamodome refuses to open the gates. People are passing out. Apparently all over stage issues.'
A third person wrote, "Alamodome your email for the Shakira concert said doors open at 5:30, instead you have hundreds of people overheating for 30 minutes and counting."
Live Nation later confirmed the postponement, stating, 'Unfortunately, Shakira's performance tonight has been postponed due to structural issues. All previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new date once announced. More information will be emailed to ticketholders directly when available. We apologize for the inconvenience.'
After the official announcement, fans expressed frustration online, blaming both Shakira's team and the venue for the mismanagement.
One person vented, 'How can you cancel on San Antonio at the last minute???? 40,000 people turned away?'
Another wrote, 'There is some bigger problem happening in @shakira team. How come in few cities she cancels concert on the day of its happening and it's related to structural issues? Why is her team not checking everything on time if that's the problem?"
Another fan tweeted, 'This is just a bad joke at this point. When is @Shakira going to fire her entire team and work with people that are at her level?'

‘My home was falling apart': Shakira breaks silence on betrayal, heartbreak, & Piqué's alleged affair
Shakira, the Colombian pop star known for global hits and unmatched stage presence, recently shared insights on how life has changed since her 2022 breakup with Spanish footballer Gerard Piqué. Speaking during the 2025 Grammy Awards—where she received the award for Best Latin Pop Album—Shakira opened up about the emotional challenges she's faced. In an interview with Live From E!, she said, 'Life hasn't always been kind,' hinting at the personal struggles she's worked through since the end of her long-term relationship. The couple's separation came after more than a decade together, during which they built a life and a family. Despite the difficulties, Shakira noted that the journey made her stronger. She referred back to her 2009 single, saying, 'The she-wolf is still here.' How it all began on the world stage Shakira and Piqué's relationship started in 2010 during the filming of her 'Waka Waka' music video for the FIFA World Cup. Their connection quickly turned romantic, and by 2011, the two had gone public. Over the years, they welcomed two sons—Milan and Sasha—and were often seen together at public events and family outings. In earlier interviews, Shakira had expressed her discomfort with the idea of marriage. Speaking with 60 Minutes in 2020, she admitted, 'Marriage scares the out of me,' explaining she preferred the dynamic of being a partner without the formal structure of marriage. Signs of trouble and the end of the relationship In mid-2022, signs of separation began to appear. Reports confirmed that Piqué was living separately from Shakira, and the couple later made their split official. According to People en Español, Shakira was going through an especially difficult time—she had just found out about Piqué's alleged infidelity with Clara Chia Marti while her father was in intensive care. 'Everything happened at once,' she told the publication. 'My home was falling apart.' Following the breakup, Shakira released music that reflected her personal struggles, some tracks seemingly addressing themes of betrayal and emotional pain. Career sacrifices and a renewed focus on independence Shakira also spoke about the career sacrifices she made for the relationship. In an interview with The Sunday Times, she revealed that she had paused her professional life 'to be next to Gerard, so he could play football.' The time she invested in family life came at the cost of several opportunities, but she emphasized that she now feels more self-reliant than ever. 'I feel complete,' she said in an earlier 2023 interview with Canal Estrellas. Despite the hardships, Shakira appears focused on her music and personal growth.
