Even legends stumble — and Shakira proved just how gracefully that can be done. On Tuesday, May 20, during her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran Tour stop at Montreal’s Bell Centre, the Colombian superstar took a tumble while performing her hit “Whenever, Wherever.”

Captured by fans on X (formerly Twitter), the moment showed the 48-year-old swaying into the first verse before slipping sideways on stage. But true to form, she popped right back up and continued like nothing happened — a total pro.
Shakira later acknowledged the fall in a now-expired Instagram Story, sparking fan praise for her resilience. “She handled it like the boss that she is,” one user wrote. Another added, “Such falls cause pain the next day — I hope she’s okay.”
This isn’t the only bump in the road for Shakira’s tour. Back in February, she canceled a show in Peru due to an abdominal issue that landed her in the hospital. Thankfully, she bounced back in time for her next performance.
Despite the hiccups, Shakira’s tour continues across North America through June, reminding us that hips may not lie—but they might occasionally slip.
