Shakira has canceled her two shows at the Barclays Center in New York City, New York, on December 5 and December 6, 2024. The venue's official website announced the cancellation. Tickets will be automatically refunded via the ticket partner within 30 days. Those who purchased the tickets from third-party vendors must contact the partners for refund details.

The singer has also announced the postponement of her entire North American tour to May 2025 from the original dates in November 2024, citing popular demand and the need to upgrade the tour from arenas to stadiums:

"My dear fans, Your incredible support since my tour announcement has truly been extraordinary, and it’s already making this the biggest tour of my career. As Live Nation communicated earlier, the demand for tickets and more shows has reached the point that our tour now requires stadiums in the USA-"

The singer continued:

"-and more dates so I can see as many of you as possible. The production of my show is now also so much larger and unlike anything I’ve done before. As a result, we’re elevating my North America run from arenas to stadiums and the dates will be shifted to May 2025, right after my Latin American tour."
"-Get ready — cities and states will be announced on Monday! I know many of you have made big efforts to be a part of these shows. Thank you so much for supporting me through this. Your understanding and love means the world to me and helps me to continue breaking barriers."

The singer ended her message:

"I’ll be waiting for you with great anticipation. I promise to make it worth the wait and deliver the best show of my life! With all my love and gratitude, Shakira."
