SHAKIRA’S latest gig has been cancelled over a safety scare – with just hours to go before she took to the stage.

Fans eagerly awaiting her Boston, Massachusetts concert last night were left disappointed after Fenway Park officials abruptly called off the show.

Singer Shakira, 48, was set to perform at 7:30pm as part of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, which is making its way through the U.S.

In a surprising move, the venue also canceled the following night’s concert with country artists Jason Aldean and Brooks & Dunn.

Fenway Park posted a brief message on social media stating: “Refunds will be available at your point of purchase. We apologize for the inconvenience,” but did not initially explain the reason behind the cancellations.

Later, Live Nation revealed the decision came after safety concerns arose during routine pre-show inspections.

“Structural elements were identified as not being up to standard, so the shows were canceled. All team members are safe.”

The company confirmed in a statement to USA Today: “Structural elements were identified as not being up to standard, so the shows were canceled. All team members are safe.”

The last-minute announcement sparked confusion and anger among ticket holders, many of whom took to social media to voice their disappointment.

One wrote on Instagram: “How do two different shows get canceled so close to showtime?”

Others felt a refund wasn’t enough compensation for their disrupted plans.

Someone else fumed, “This is absolute c**p!”

Shakira accidentally confirms Rihanna is ‘pregnant’ during live slip up on Met Gala red carpet

On X, formerly Twitter, another demanded, “And what was the reason? The show starts in 2 hours. At least put up a more elaborate explanation this is insane.”

Her next show is still set to go ahead at Washington, D.C.’s Nationals Park on Saturday night.

It comes just weeks after Shakira accidentally confirmed Rihanna’s pregnancy on the Met Gala red carpet. 

The Hips Don’t Lie appeared shocked and shrieked in horror when she realized she might have said too much during a live TV interview.

Shakira had walked the blue carpet before her former collaborator even arrived. 

Due to photos of RiRi’s baby bump being published before the event, some fans, including Shakira, already assumed she had confirmed her big news. 

However, before she was ever able to make the baby announcement on her own, Shakira made the almighty slip-up.

Speaking to NBC News, Shakira said that Rihanna was the person she was “most excited” to hang out with on fashion’s biggest night. 

“I want to see Rihanna! I want to see her so bad. And I just heard the news too,” she told the interviewer.

When the reporter seemed confused as to what Shakira was referring to, she excitedly responded: “She’s pregnant!”

She then looked horrified as she realized that she had spoken out before Rihanna herself was even able to announce the news.

The Grammy-winner put her hands up to her face and looked shocked as she confessed: “Am I not supposed to say that?”

She then awkwardly laughed and walked away from the interview.
