Colombian pop star Shakira resumed her world tour with a concert in Lima, Peru, on February 17, 2025, following a prior cancellation due to illness.

The concert attracted around 46,000 fans, where Shakira performed a mix of her greatest hits, including 'Hips Don’t Lie', 'Chantaje', and the World Cup anthem 'Waka Waka'.

During the concert, Shakira emphasized themes of resilience and self-love, stating, 'Music heals' and that loving oneself is crucial.

Her performance included an emotional rendition of 'Acróstico,' featuring images of her children, Milan and Sasha, which resonated deeply with the audience.

Criticism from fans on social media accused Shakira of copying Beyoncé's stage setup, with many noting extensive similarities in visuals and costumes.

Shakira is recognized for her significant contributions to the music industry, paving the way for Latin artists in the English-speaking market.

Fans shared side-by-side comparisons of the stage setups on social media, prompting mixed reactions and some calling for a copyright lawsuit.

In a heartfelt social media post, Shakira expressed her commitment to delivering her best performance, despite acknowledging that perfection is unattainable.

Her persona as a 'she-wolf' symbolizes her strength and resilience, especially following her tumultuous divorce from Gerard Piqué.

Despite criticisms regarding her stage setup, fans noted the close relationship between Shakira and Beyoncé, highlighting their past collaborations and mutual support.

Shakira also mentioned São Paulo in her message, building anticipation for the next stop of her tour.

This controversy sparked a discussion about the fine line between inspiration and plagiarism in the music and performance industries.
