A day after her Boston concert was canceled, Shakira’s tour is suffering another setback.

The popstar’s scheduled show in Washington, D.C. — which was part of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour and WorldPride DC 2025’s Welcome Concert — on May 31 has also been canceled. The reasoning was “due to complications with the previous show in Boston,” according to a statement released by Nationals Park May 30.

“Shakira’s full tour production cannot be transported to Washington, D.C. in time for her scheduled performance,” the statement read. “As a result, the D.C. show has been canceled. Despite every effort to make it happen, it is not possible to move forward as planned.”

Ticketholders will automatically receive refunds for Ticketmaster and nationals.com purchases. Those who purchased from a third party should contact the seller.

Shakira shared a statement about her heartbreak over the show’s cancellation, writing, “Due to circumstances beyond my control, I am sad and heartbroken that I will not be able to be in Washington, D.C. with you tomorrow. I hope that I can come back to D.C., as soon as I am able.

“Meanwhile, please know that I am eternally thankful for your unconditional support.”

Why Shakira’s Boston concert was canceled

In a May 30 statement to USA TODAY, Live Nation said the cancelation of several shows at Fenway Park was due to issues discovered during routine checks before the Shakira show.

“Structural elements were identified as not being up to standard, so the shows were canceled. All team members are safe,” the statement said. The issue also affected upcoming shows from Jason Aldean and Brooks & Dunn.

Shakira is next scheduled to perform in Atlanta June 2.

The Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour kicked off in South America in February and began its North American leg May 13.

Opening up about the work that went into the tour, Shakira recently told USA TODAY, “I’ve worked so much on every detail of this show. I’m building the biggest setlist of my career.

“There are going to be visuals I created, the narrative and the details of them. There are 145 people on this tour to make it happen every night,” she explained. “I’ve created original music for the transitions in the show, new choreography and arrangements. I have 13 costume changes, so all of what I’ve learned these years of making music, I feel like this is a recap of that journey.”

What do we need to know about the Boston Celtics offseason from a cap perspective? The Celtics already had themselves a host of tough decisions to make about how to construct their roster moving forward even before the brutal Achilles tendon injury to star forward Jayson Tatum occurred in Game 4 of the 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals second round series vs. the New York Knicks.

With a historically large payroll and tax bill driven by Boston’s presence in the dreaded second apron created by the new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) at the same time a new ownership group with unknown priorities and financial liquidity takes over the team, some roster to moves to save money were already coming. Now the question is what players — and how much salary — will be moved.

The host of the CLNS Media “You Got Boston” podcast, Noa Dalzell, linked up with Spotrac cap expert Keith Smith to talk it all over on a recent episode. Check it out below!
