SHAKIRA suffered major tech issues during her huge Copacabana Beach concert over the weekend.
The global superstar faced backlash as eagle-eyed viewers spotted the mishaps during the performance.
An estimated 2 million people attended the show in Rio De Janeiro, where the popstar delivered a nearly 30-song set that included guest appearances by Anitta, Maria Bethania, and Caetano Veloso.
Although she performed in style, the sound and visuals didn’t match up at times.
Clips from the gig quickly went viral on X, but while some viewers were left disappointed, others weren’t surprised, saying it’s common at large-scale shows.
Taking to X, one person said: “If ur gonna lip at least make it believable”.
Another added: “This is genuinely a f******* mess”.
The Colombian singer’s performance follows similar shows by Lady Gaga last year and Madonna in 2024, which were also attended by huge crowds.
“I arrived here when I was 18 years old, dreaming about singing for you,” Shakira told the crowd. “And now look at this. Life is magical.”
She sang several fan favourites during her set, including Hips Don’t Lie, La Tortura, Waka Waka, Whenever Wherever, She Wolf and La Bicicleta.
The show also featured a massive drone show, which amazed the crowd.
Despite being a free concert, Shakira’s show was expected to generate an estimated $150 million in tourism revenue to the city, according to local government.
This isn’t the first mishap the pop star has had live on stage.
In February, Shakira suffered a nasty fall during a live stage performance, with the singer twisting her ankle in the middle of her concert.
She was performing in San Salvador when she left fans worried during a mid-song tumble.
Singing her hit song Si Te Vas during the night, Shakira was walking across the stage when her right ankle suddenly twisted.
She then completely toppled to her side, falling onto her elbow as she brought her microphone stand down with her.
During the moment, Shakira stopped singing as gasps could be heard amongst the audience.
But ever the professional, she quickly got herself back up and managed to continue the song – with the star’s band continuing as her guitarist cheered her on.
